Lancet Diabetes Endo: Diabetics have a higher risk of adverse prognostics after contracting new coronary pneumonia

Statistics show that the proportion of patients hospitalized with neo-crown pneumonia who have diabetes is higher.
in the UK, more than a-half of new crown pneumonia patients in hospital have diabetes.
recently looked at the risk of death or intensive care for new coronary pneumonia in diabetics.
researchers collected data on patients during the neo-coronary pneumonia outbreak in Scotland from 1 March 2020 to 31 July 2020 to analyse diabetes in patients who died or were in intensive care in Covid-19, comparing the differences in risk of death and intensive care in diabetes and non-diabetic patients.
During the study period, a total of 5463,300 patients were diagnosed, 319,349 (5.8%) were diabetics with neo-coronary pneumonia, and 1,082 (0.3%) died and received intensive care, of which 972 (89.8%) were over 60 years of age.
5143,951 non-diabetic patients, 4,081 (0.1%) died and received intensive care. at the end of the
study, the risk of death and intensive care was 1.395 compared to non-diabetic patients, with a higher risk of type I diabetes (2.396 for type I diabetics and 1.369 for type II).
For people with diabetes, risk factors associated with death and intensive care after adjusting for age, sex, course of illness and diabetes subtype include: male, poverty, history of close contact, retinal lesions, decreased kidney function, poor blood sugar control, history of acidosis or hypoglycemia hospitalization in the past 5 years, acceptance of a variety of diabetes medications and smoking.
found that people with diabetes, especially those with type 1 diabetes, were at higher risk of death and intensive care after contracting neo-coronary pneumonia.
