I'd be curious to know if their diabetes was well controlled prior to contracting the corona virus or if it was out of control and already a cause of risk. Did the corona virus _cause_ the problem, or just make it worse?
- asterisk_ 7y ago> Il numero medio di patologie osservate in questa popolazione è di 2.7 (mediana 2, Deviazione Standard 1.6) It seems the above poses another question; is diabetes just confounding other underlying condition(s)? Further, if most of the patients suffered from type 2 diabetes, it would likely correlate with older age in which case higher fatality rates are to be expected. I was unable to find this info publicly available, but diabetes being one of the "2+ underlying conditions" seems probable.
- corpMaverick 7y agoThere has been some speculation that it may not be the desease itself but the treatment that was the cause of increased risk.
