摘要
Aims: To examine associations of SARS-CoV-2 infection/COVID-19 with insulin treatment in new-onset diabetes. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using Veterans Health Administration data (March 1, 2020-June 1, 2022). Individuals with >= 1 positive nasal swab for SARS-CoV-2 (n = 6,706) comprised the exposed group, and individuals with no positive swab and >= 1 laboratory test of any type (n = 20,518) the unexposed group. For exposed, the index date was the date of first positive swab, and for unexposed a random date during the month of the qualifying laboratory test. Among Veterans with new-onset diabetes after the index date, we modeled associations of SARS-CoV-2 with most recent A1c prior to insulin treatment or end of follow-up and receipt of >1 outpatient insulin prescription starting within 120 days. Results: SARS-CoV-2 was associated with a 40% higher odds of insulin treatment compared to no positive test (95%CI 1.2-1.8) but not with most recent A1c (ss 0.00, 95%CI -0.04-0.04). Among Veterans with SARS-CoV-2, >= 2 vaccine doses prior to the index date was marginally associated with lower odds of insulin treatment (OR 0.6, 95%CI 0.3-1.0).Conclusions: SARS-CoV-2 is associated with higher odds of insulin treatment but not with higher A1c. Vaccination may be protective. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/)
