Population-based study reveals increased in-hospital mortality for diabetes patients during pandemic, indicating need for targeted interventions.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate patterns in in-hospital mortality among diabetes patients during and after the COVID-19 pandemic compared to non-diabetic patients.
Conducted a retrospective population-based analysis using registry data from approximately 14.35 million residents from 2012 to 2024.
Stratified analyses by age and sex and defined three study periods: pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-intervention.
Evaluated temporal trends in in-hospital case fatality using average annual percent change (AAPC).
In-hospital case fatality remained stable from 2012 to 2019 but increased significantly during the pandemic, especially in patients aged ≥65 years.
Higher case fatality rates were consistently observed in male patients compared to females.
Post-intervention, there was a substantial decline in in-hospital case fatality among diabetes patients, who experienced higher mortality than non-diabetics during the pandemic.
