ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

According to many studies, coronavirus disease is a major problem globally because it adds a health burden to governments and health authorities, as well as diabetes mellitus, which was suggested to be a predictor of COVID severity and ICU admission needs. in this study, we aimed to evaluate the severity of COVID in admitted diabetic patients if compared to non-diabetics. This retrospective study was conducted in KSMC, Riyadh, KSA in the period from 1 May to 1 July 2021. Our results found that diabetes in COVID patients is associated with a high percentage of severe disease. Vital signs on admission were also shown to be an indicator of disease severity.
