“…Based on these data, we conclude that diabetes may not increase the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection but can worsen the outcome of this new coronavirus disease. This finding is consistent with the association between diabetes and excess mortality from any acute and chronic condition, including infections [7]. The situation is rapidly evolving, and close monitoring of these data are important for a correct communication to patients and healthcare providers.…”

“…In the studies that addressed the most frequent cause of death of individuals with DFU, cardiovascular disease has been predominant [7,8]. However, a recent report showed that the risk of death from infections in DM is reasonably high, with septicaemia and pneumonia being major threats, which is consistent with our findings [9].…”

“…It is well known that glycemic control is important in mortality of diabetes [3][4][5]. In addition to glycemic control, another factor that influences the mortality of diabetes is infection [6,7]. Patients with diabetes have higher incidence of infectious diseases than healthy adults.…”

Background: Influenza is a global public health problem causing considerable morbidity and mortality. Although vaccination is the most effective way to prevent infection, vaccination coverage is insufficient in people with chronic disease under 65 years, especially diabetes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate influenza vaccination coverage and identify factors associated with influenza vaccination in Korean diabetic adults under 65 years. Methods: Data were obtained from 24,821 subjects in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2014 to 2017). Socioeconomic, health-related, and diabetic factors were investigated for their relations with influenza vaccination in diabetic patients under 65 years using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: Among 24,821 subjects, 1,185 were diabetic patients under 65 years and their influenza vaccination rate was 36.5%. Socioeconomic (older age, female gender, non-smoker, light alcohol drinker, lower educational level, and employed status), healthrelated factors (lower fasting glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin level, good self-perceived health status, more comorbidities, recent health screening, more outpatient visits, and diet therapy), and diabetic factors (more awareness and getting treated) were associated with influenza vaccination. In multivariate analysis, more awareness and getting treated for diabetes were associated with influenza vaccination in diabetic patients under 65 years (odds ratio, 1.496 and 1.413; 95% confidence interval, 1.022 to 2.188 and 1.018 to 2.054, respectively). Conclusion: Influenza vaccination rate was low in diabetic patients under 65 years, especially in those with unawareness and not getting treated for diabetes. Active screening and treatment for diabetes may be helpful to improve the influenza vaccination rate in these patients.
