COVID-l9 is considered a global health emergency, this disease affects all individuals and its symptoms are similar to the common cold. The purpose of this study is to compare diabetic and non-diabetic patients in some biochemical tests of patients infected with COVID-l9. Of the l20 patients included in the study, 7l patients were males (59.l7%) and 49 were females (40.83%). The study showed that the highest percentage was in males with diabetes (63.33%), followed by non-diabetics (55.00%), without significant difference. As for the age group, most patients were over 50 years, and it was most common among non-diabetics in addition to diabetes. Mean glucose was significantly different between the diabetic group and the non-diabetic group. For the diabetic group, the mean blood sugar was 229.22 ± 82.25mg/dl, while the mean blood sugar in the non-diabetic group was l32.25 ± 44.08 mg/dl. In addition, there was a significant difference in mean HbA1c between the diabetic and non-diabetic groups p < .001. For the diabetic group, the mean HbA1c was 7.5l ± l.27 %, but in the non-diabetic group, the mean HbA1c was 5.41 ± 0.73%. While there was a significant difference between the two groups with and without diabetes in the mean ferritin ratio p < .00l. For the diabetic group, the mean serum ferritin was 638.78 ± 327.78 ng/ml, although in the non-diabetic group, the mean serum ferritin was 393.74 ± 330.83 ng/ml. There were no significant differences between the diabetic and non-diabetic group in the mean of D-dimer, urea, creatinine and uric acid, in the diabetic groups, the mean was 6.00 ± 5.80 ug/ml, 86.02 ± 64.27 mg/dl, 1.64+1.45mg/dl and 5.37 ± 3.11mg/dl, respectively. While in the non-diabetic group, the mean was 5.82 ± 5.76 ug/ml, 74.68 ± 68.27mg/dl, 1.88 ± 2.62 mg/dl, and 4.86 ± 2.62 mg/dl, respectively.
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.
