Abstract:

Objective: To determine the effect of the severity of diabetes mellitus on the outcome of diabetic people who had contracted the COVID-19 virus. Method: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2020 to March 2021. 300 patients were confirmed cases of COVID-19 via RT-PCR. Demographic, clinical lab data, and outcome were collected and analyzed using SPSSv20.0 along with Chi Square. Results: The average age of the participants was 56.95 12.856 years. Males made up the majority of our study's participants (60.7 percent). Diabetes (66.67%) was present in patients with moderate or mild disease (33.33%) and severe disease (33. 33%).Patients with mild to intermediate diabetes had an overall discharge rate of 80.8% and a death rate of 19.2%. Patients with severe diabetes were discharged at a rate of 58.7%, but 41.3% of them died as a result of their disease. 103 (66%) of the diabetics who had improved clinically maintained stable circumstances, compared to 53 (34%) of the diabetics who had stabilized. Conclusion: In patients infected with COVID-19, uncontrolled hyperglycemia has a negative impact on the body's ability to fight infection. Patients with SARS-CoV-2 who are properly cared for and are taking appropriate medication may be able to keep their condition under control.
