Abstract

Introduction : Respiratory illness caused by Coronavirus Disease 19 can be attributed to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Diabetes mellitus (DM) may be a contributing factor in the higher mortality and severity of COVID-19 patients, according to researchers. This is an investigation on the link between diabetes mellitus (DM) and COVID-19 patient mortality and severity.
Methods: This study examines the association between DM, severity, and death in COVID-19 patients. The subjects in this study were COVID-19 patients treated at Dr.Slamet Garut General Hospital in 2020-2021. The data for this study came from COVID-19 patients^ medical records.
Results : According to the research data, 18 patients (30 percent) with COVID-19 and DM were treated in the ICU, and 15 patients with COVID-19 and DM died (25 percent ). The Chi-square test results showed that there was a relationship between COVID-19 patients suffering from DM and COVID-19 patient severity (p=0,020- OR=3,5- 95 percent CI: 1,20 to 10,19) and a relationship between COVID-19 patients suffering from DM and COVID-19 patient mortality (p=0,015- OR= 4,0- 95 percent CI: 1,27 to 12,57).
Conclusion- The Chi-Square test revealed a significant connection between diabetes severity and mortality in COVID-19 patiens (p 0.05) in Dr. Slamet Garut General Hospital. It^s believes that early glucose control is critical since higher glucose levels have been linked to increased mortality in COVID-19 diabetic patients, and management of cardiovascular risk factors is critical.
