Diabetes doubles the risk of dying from Covid-19

BrotherPeople with diabetes are 1.87 times more likely to die and 1.59 times more likely to need to be admitted to the ICU, according to a UK study.

Researchers from the University of Aberdeen looked at results from 158 studies involving more than 270,000 participants around the world to determine the impact of Covid-19 on people with diabetes.

The results showed that, when infected with Covid-19, the risk of death of diabetic patients increased significantly compared with patients without this disease. Specifically, people with diabetes were 1.87 times more likely to die and 1.59 times more likely to need to be admitted to an ICU.

In addition, aggregated data from many studies around the world also show that diabetics have a higher risk of being hospitalized in critical conditions and receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy than the general population.

Statistics show that the proportion of diabetic patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus requiring hyperbaric oxygen treatment is 1.44 times higher. At the same time, people hospitalized in severe and critical condition were 2.88 times higher.

According to research published in the journal Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, Diabetic patients in China, Korea and the Middle East have a higher risk of death than patients from EU countries or the US. However, reported data from patients in EU countries and the US are not too different. This reinforces the conclusions about the impact of the health care system on reducing the risk of death of Covid-19 patients with underlying medical conditions.

Experts say that controlling blood sugar helps patients reduce the risk of dying from Covid-19. In the context of the pandemic, it is important to strengthen outpatient diabetes clinics, ensure consistent monitoring of diabetes patients, and optimize blood sugar control after Covid-19 infection. patient.
