About this study

Official title: The Effect of Diabetes Mellitus on Mortality in Patients Hospitalized in the COVID Intensive Care Unit in the COVID-19 Pandemic

The study includes patients over 18 years old who were hospitalized in our covid intensive care unit between March 16 and May 16, 2020.

Retrospective records were examined by examining the electronic data files of the patients.

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests performed with nasopharyngeal swab taken from the person, which is the standard diagnostic method, and also the diagnosis of infection symptoms, risk factors and thoracic CT scans indicating pneumonia were diagnosed.

Patients over 18 years of age with and without a medical history of DM in their history were identified and compared in 2 groups.

Demographic data such as age, gender, Body Mass Index (BMI) of all patients, presence of additional comorbid disease, blood glucose values during hospitalization in intensive care, ferritin, C-Reactive Protein (CRP), respiratory support methods (nasal oxygen, nasal high flow, non-invasive mechanical ventilation, intubation), length of stay in intensive care unit, and mortality will be recorded.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mortality (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
