Background. Lipids play a central role in viral infection, as they represent the structural foundations of cellular and viral membranes. The study aimed to examine the relationship between the D-dimer of T2DM patients with the lipid profile parameters of newly diagnosed COVID-19 patients.
Method. This study uses secondary data, which is obtained from medical records of H. Adam Malik Medan Hospital between 2020-2021. The population of this study was all inpatients confirmed COVID-19 through RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 swab examination.
Results. There are 163 participants in this study. HbA1c values were high in T2DM patients with Covid-19, while lipid, and D-dimer profile values were still normal. Parameter of HbA1c, lipid and D-dimer profiles between men and women do not differ significantly. D-dimer is not correlated with HbA1c parameters and lipid profiles
Conclusion. In this study, HbA1c values were high in T2DM patients with Covid-19, while D-dimer is not correlated with HbA1c parameters and lipid profiles
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
