The associations between fasting plasma glucose levels and mortality of COVID-19 in patients without diabetes
Pneumonia can rapidly progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, and multiple organ dysfunction syndromes. We aimed to clarify the associations between fasting plasma glucose levels and mortality of COVID-19 in patients without diabetes. Each tertile increment of FPG levels conferred 3.54-fold higher risks of death. Non-survivors combined with more comorbidities, more severe infection, and worse liver, kidney, and cardiac function in patients without diabetes.
