The virus has specifically targeted the comorbid population in terms of mortality. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the overall mortality and diabetes-associated mortality in COVID-19 patients.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>To obtain the related data, six databases, including Pubmed, Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and DOAJ, were searched. The full-texts of articles presenting the data of COVID-19 mortality and diabetes-associated mortality were screened and retrieved. Statistical analysis was performed using the Stata (version 13). The odds ratio (OR) of mortality in diabetic patients was calculated with 95% confidence interval (CI). Random-effects model was used to synthesize data for the relevant outcomes.

The pooled prevalence of diabetes mellitus in patients with COVID-19 was 16.8% (n = 4381).

He had multiple admissions and was treated for other diagnoses. His first symptoms started from age 5 with obstructive apnea. He underwent an adenectomy surgery at that time, but the symptoms continued. A year after the surgery, he was admitted again due to his somnolence but was diagnosed only with hypothyroidism and anemia. At the age of 7 years and 8 months, he was admitted to our department with ataxia and abnormal gait from the past year with instability and numerous falls. He also had shown hyperphagia that had been resulted in 10 kilograms of weight gain in six months. He was experiencing gradual behavioral symptoms, including episodes of self and hetero aggression and impulsivity.

There was no significant difference in first thyroglobulin, initial and accumulative iodine dose, and additional treatments (additional surgery and radiotherapy) between patients and controls. Although no significant difference was noted in one and two years' responses to treatment between the case and control groups, familial NMTC patients required more time to achieve excellent response (26.7 ± 24.9 versus 15.9 ± 9.0 months, P = 0.01). No significant difference was noted between familial NMTC patients with two or more than two involved relatives.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Our study showed that if patients with familial NMTCs were treated in the same way as non-familial patients, the time to excellent response would be significantly longer, even when they have only one other involved relative.</p>","PeriodicalId":13969,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2021-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/a2/5c/ijem-19-2-108781.PMC8198615.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39249534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
