Presently large-scale study concludes that there are many factors associated with an increased risk of COVID-19-related in-hospital death. Patients with comorbidities may be more susceptible to the COVID- 19 complications and may show compromised immune competency. The aim of the study is to find out increased relative and absolute risks of COVID-19, associated with Diabetes Mellitus in Solapur city. Study design is Cross sectional study. Study group included all patients with COVID -19 diabetic and non-diabetic patients in Solapur. It was observed that among all diabetic patients with COVID-19 fever was the most common initial symptoms; fever (100%) followed by cough (97.16%), Breathlessness (89.05%), dyspnea (9.81%),muscular soreness (6.22%) and chest distress(7.92%). In Diabetic with COVID-19, age distribution of the patients was in between 55-80 years, in non-diabetic COVID patients age group ranges 0-76 years and mortality rate observed in age group with 54-80 years. The present data showed higher mortality rate in patients of Diabetes Mellitus with COVID-19. Further it was observed that the mortality rate was higher in male (11.77 %) as compare to female (10.07 %.). Our study concludes that COVID-19 patients with Diabetes Mellitus are more prone for morbidity as compared with non-diabetic COVID patients. Diabetes Mellitus in COVID- 19 patients increases the susceptibility of complications with concomitant decrease immune system. The total number of COVID- 19 death recorded in Solapur included majority of the patients with Diabetes Mellitus as one of the responsible factor in worsening of the disease.
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.
