- W4307864921 abstract "Background Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), mainly type 1 DM. DM is one of the comorbidities recognized as the predictor of the severity in COVID-19-positive patients. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) illness (COVID-19) has a bidirectional association with DM. DM is a state of chronic inflammatory condition and hyperglycemia that predisposes one to acquire an exaggerated form of COVID-19 infection. Moreover, in recent literature, it has been established that SARS-CoV-2 is capable of directly damaging beta cells of the pancreas, thereby inducing new-onset diabetes in previously non-diabetics. Hence, new-onset diabetes and severe metabolic consequences of pre-existing diabetes, such as DKA, are seen in COVID-19-positive patients. DKA in patients with COVID-19 may increase the risk of mortality and lead to poor prognosis. Methods This retrospective observational study includes 25 patients who presented to our hospital with DKA secondary to COVID-19 infection as a triggering factor. Demographic parameters, medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests including reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction test (RT-PCR), chest X-ray, treatment administered, clinical course, and outcomes were recorded. All data were computed and analyzed using SPSS Version 22.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results Of the 25 cases, 14 were females, and a statistically significant difference was seen in the values of blood sugar (367 mg/dL), D-dimer, ferritin, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and anion gap among males and females (p < 0.050). The males had higher mean values of blood sugar (367 mg/dL), BUN (60.63 mg/dL), D-dimer (1.09 mcg/mL), and ferritin (821.23 mcg/mL) than females, whereas females had a higher anion gap (20.85) than males. A negative correlation was seen between D-dimer and the following biochemical investigations in COVID-19 patients: serum bicarbonate, anion gap, chloride, BUN, creatinine, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorous. COVID-19 can present with atypical symptoms in patients with high blood sugar levels. Diabetics are more likely to experience effects on multiple organs compared to non-diabetic patients who mainly have lung involvement. Hence, a high degree of suspicion is essential to diagnose DKA early in COVID-19 patients. Conclusion These cases show that DKA can be precipitated by COVID-19 in a significant number of patients and that the presence of diabetes can also exaggerate the underlying COVID-19 infection, a bidirectional relationship. All cases were COVID-19-positive presenting with features characteristic of DKA. SARS-CoV-2 was precipitating factor of DKA. Patients with newly diagnosed diabetes or pre-existing diabetes were equally susceptible to DKA. Due to the high prevalence of both illnesses (DM and COVID-19) in our country, a high level of suspicion is required to detect DKA early and improve the outcome of COVID-19-related life-threatening hyperglycemic consequences." @default.
