摘要
The presence of diabetes complications increases the risks of COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and worse health outcomes with respect to in-hospital mortality and longer hospital length of stay. We show the presence of health disparities in COVID-19 outcomes across demographic groups in our diabetes population. One such disparity is that African American and Hispanic diabetes patients have higher odds of COVID-19 infection than White and Non-Hispanic diabetes patients, respectively. Furthermore, Hispanic patients might have less access to the hospital care compared to non-Hispanic patients when longer hospitalizations are needed due to their diabetes complications. Finally, diabetes complications, which are generally associated with worse COVID-19 outcomes, might be predominantly determining the COVID-19 severity in those infected patients resulting in less demographic differences in COVID-19 hospitalization and in-hospital mortality.
