The Effect of Diabetes Mellitus on Mortality of Patients With COVID-19

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The study includes patients over 18 years old who were hospitalized in our covid intensive care unit between March 16 and May 16, 2020. Retrospective records were examined by examining the electronic data files of the patients. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests performed with nasopharyngeal swab taken from the person, which is the standard diagnostic method, and also the diagnosis of infection symptoms, risk factors and thoracic CT scans indicating pneumonia were diagnosed. Patients over 18 years of age with and without a medical history of DM in their history were identified and compared in 2 groups.

Patients over 18 years of age with and without a medical history of DM in their history will be identified and compared in 2 groups. Demographic data such as age, gender, Body Mass Index (BMI) of all patients, presence of additional comorbid disease, blood glucose values during hospitalization in intensive care, ferritin, C-Reactive Protein (CRP), respiratory support methods (nasal oxygen, nasal high flow, non-invasive mechanical ventilation, intubation), length of stay in intensive care unit, and mortality will be recorded.
