Mortality-related risk factors of inpatients with diabetes and COVID-19: a multicenter retrospective study in Belgium

CONCLUSION: In-hospital mortality due to the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Belgium was high in patients with diabetes. We found that advanced age and male gender were independent risk factors for in-hospital death. We also showed that metformin use before admission was associated with significantly lower COVID-19-related in-hospital mortality. Finally, we showed that CKD is a COVID-19-related mortality risk factor in patients with diabetes admitted to the ICU.PMID:37574109 | DOI:10.1016/j.ando.2023.08.002
