The study showed that the presence of diabetes is not associated with an increase in the likelihood of death in hospitalized patients with coronavirus. This conclusion was made by scientists from the University of Copenhagen.
It is widely believed that diabetes is a risk factor in the development of coronavirus infection, and victims of diabetes are more likely to die if they become infected with COVID-19. Scientists from Canada and Denmark decided to find out how true this is. The scope of their attention included people over 18 years old hospitalized due to coronavirus from January 1 to November 30, 2020 in Ontario and Copenhagen. They arrived at various medical institutions in different conditions, and the data was analyzed on the basis of electronic medical records.
