Popis: Introduction Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are independent risk factors for the severe course of COVID-19. Thus, all patients with COVID-19, T2DM and CVD should be constant medical control and receive adequate therapy for concomitant diseases. Purpose To study the effect of T2DM on the clinical outcomes of patients with COVID-19 and CVD. Methods Retrospective analysis of clinical outcomes of 1665 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, depending on the presence of CVD, T2DM and received therapy. Results The study included 866 men and 799 women; 299 patients (17.96%) had T2DM. The average age of the patients was 57.56±15.04 years. We noted a high prevalence of CVD: 747 patients (44.9%) had hypertension, 362 patients (21.7%) – coronary heart disease (CHD): 109 (6.5%) – myocardial infarction, 23 (1.4%) – exertional angina, 106 (6.4%) – atrial fibrillation, 98 (5.9%) – chronic heart failure. The patients with T2DM had hypertension in 80% of cases and CHD in 42%. Overall, 65.2% of patients had at least 1 concomitant CVD. Mortality of patients with COVID-19 without concomitant pathology was 0.5%, and in the patients with CHD – 20.7%, with hypertension – 12.9%. Mortality in the patients without T2DM was 7.4%, in the patients with T2DM – 14.0%. Hyperglycemia was associated with a higher mortality rate: the median of glycemia was 5.7 mmol/L in discharged patients and 7.2 mmol/L in deceased patients, regardless of the presence of T2DM (p Conclusion The presence of CVD and T2DM in the patients with COVID-19 worsens the prognosis of COVID-19. But the adequate therapy for concomitant diseases can have a positive effect on this group of patients. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding sources: None.
