Phenotypic characteristics and prognosis of inpatients with COVID-19 and diabetes: the CORONADO study

Roughly 1 in 10 COVID-19 patients with diabetes dies within 7 days of hospital admission, according to a study in Diabetologia. The analysis included over 1300 diabetics with COVID-19 admitted to French hospitals in March. Some 29% required intubation or died within 7 days (the primary composite outcome), and body-mass index was the only variable independently associated with this outcome. Roughly 18% of the patients were discharged by day 7.
