Hyperglycemia in the diabetic range, but not previous diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, is an independent indicator of poor outcome in patients hospitalized for severe COVID-19
DM indicated poor COVID-19 outcomes, but not when adjusted for other clinical variables/comorbities, suggesting that its impact was mostly driven by concomitant factors. The independent role of fasting hyperglycemia points to the need for further research on its contribution to COVID-19.
