Glycemic Characteristics and Clinical Outcomes of COVID-19 Patients Hospitalized in the United States.

TLDR
This retrospective observational study of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 adults evaluated glycemic and clinical outcomes in patients with and without diabetes and/or acutely uncontrolled hyperglycemia hospitalized March 1 to April 6, 2020, finding that patients with diabetes and or uncontrolled hyper glycemia had a longer LOS and markedly higher mortality than patients without diabetes.

Associations of type 1 and type 2 diabetes with COVID-19-related mortality in England: a whole-population study.

TL;DR: The results of this nationwide analysis in England show that type 1 and type 2 diabetes were both independently associated with a significant death with COVID-19, and the effects were attenuated to ORs of 2·86 (2·58–3·18) for type 1 diabetes and 1·80 (1·75–1·86) fortype 2 diabetes when also adjusted for previous hospital admissions with coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, or heart failure.

COVID-19 in people with diabetes: understanding the reasons for worse outcomes.

TL;DR: The reason for worse prognosis in people with diabetes is likely to be multifactorial, thus reflecting the syndromic nature of diabetes, and age, sex, ethnicity, comorbidities such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease, obesity, and a pro-inflammatory and pro-coagulative state all probably contribute to the risk of worse outcomes.

Hospitalization Rates and Characteristics of Patients Hospitalized with Laboratory-Confirmed Coronavirus Disease 2019 - COVID-NET, 14 States, March 1-30, 2020.

TL;DR: It is suggested that older adults have elevated rates of COVID-19-associated hospitalization and the majority of persons hospitalized with CO VID-19 have underlying medical conditions, which underscore the importance of preventive measures to protect older adults and persons with underlyingmedical conditions, as well as the general public.
