Introduction: Patients infected with COVID-19 seem to manifest a more severe evolution when they have comorbidities, such as Diabetes Mellitus (DM). However, data on the Brazilian population are still scarcely available.
Objective: To analyze the association between DM and evolution to intubation and death in individuals hospitalized with COVID-19.
Methodology: Cross-sectional, observational, quantitative study with data from the medical records of 74 adult participants admitted to Professora Lydia Storópoli Hospital, diagnosed with COVID-19. The Human Research Ethics Committee approved this study, and participants signed the study consent form.
Results: 74 patients with Covid-19, 18 had DM, of which six evolved to intubation, and five evolved to death. There was no significant association (p>0.05) between DM and intubation and death.
Conclusion: In the present study, DM was not associated with clinical evolution to intubation and death.
