ABSTRACT
Summary Objectives:
To describe the characteristics of the population diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (dm2) infected by sars-CoV-2, and to evaluate whether there is an association between dm2 history and covid-19 severity. Method(s) non-probabilistic by convenience sampling, information was obtained from the Online Notification System for Epidemiological Surveillance (sinolave) of the Family Medicine Unit No. 28 of the Mexican Institute of Social Security. A total of 1688 confirmed cases of covid-19 were identified and grouped into patients with and without dm2. Bivariate statistical analysis was performed with Excel 2019 and Stata v. 15.1 programs;measures of association were used using Poisson logistic regression and chi2 test with statistical significance <0.05. Result(s) it was observed that, in patients with covid-19 and dm2, the prevalence ratio of severe acute respiratory infection, diagnosis of pneumonia, hospitalization, and death were higher compared to the group without dm2. Conclusion(s) the frequency, of unfavorable characteristics, was higher in the group of patients with dm2. Health conditions caused by covid-19 reinforce the relevance of an intentional search for undiagnosed diabetic patients, untreated or under treatment with poor glycemic control, in order to avoid major health complications.Copyright © 2023, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico.
