Abstract
Objective: To determine the frequency of new-onset diabetes mellitus (NODM) in patients with COVID-19 in a tertiary care hospital.
Method: It was a retrospective descriptive study carried out in Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan from November 2021 to April 2022. All patients having new onset Diabetes Mellitus (NODM) were identified among a total of 300 patients admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 infection. Patients' data including relevant investigations were accessed through the hospital management information system (HMIS). SPSS version-23 was used for data entry and statistical analysis.
Results: Out of 300 COVID-19 patients included in the study, 163 (54.3%) were female and 137(45.7%) were male. The mean age of the patients was 56.80±13.72 (IQR 15) years. Frequency of the new onset diabetes was 44(14.7%); 19 (6.33%) male and 25(8.33%) female. Among the 44 NODM patients, the majority (57%) were female (p=0.720). Most (64%) of the patients with new-onset DM were in the middle age (p=0.018).
Conclusion: A significant number of patients with COVID-19 infection are prone to develop new-onset diabetes during their admission to the hospital.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
