11. Effect of hyperglycemia on Covid-19 treatment results in intensive care center for Covid-19 of Bachmai Hospital
Main Article Content
Abstract
Hyperglycemia is prevalent in Covid-19 patients and represents a poor risk factor for prognosis. Research methods: A descriptive, longitudinal research on 1163 Sar-CoV-2 patients treated at the Bach Mai’s Intensive Care Unit in Hochiminh city. Results: The prevalence of patients with hyperglycemia at hospital admission was 63.8% (741 patients). Hyperglycemia at hospital admission increased the risk of both invasive mechanical ventilation and mortality by 1.99 times (95% CI: 1.54 - 2.51) and 2.12 times (95% CI: 1.66 - 2.71) respectively compared with non-hyperglycemia. The lowest mortality rate was 43.5%, which was seen in patients with glucose level from 3.9 to 7.8 mmol/l at hospital admission. In brief, hyperglyccemia represents as a risk factor for invasive mechanical ventilation and mortality.
