Scientists called the disease, sharply increasing mortality from COVID-19

In addition to cardiovascular diseases, there is another disease that, when a person is infected with coronavirus infection, gives serious complications. Such conclusions during the study, the results of which are published in the journal MedicalXpress, were made by scientists from the University of California at San Francisco. According to them, diabetes mellitus in COVID-19 will be more severe, and the risk of mortality increases significantly. Diabetes ranks second after cardiovascular disease in terms of the severity of complications in a new coronavirus infection, noted in the material. So, according to a specialist, patients with coronavirus infection suffering from diabetes are six times more likely to need hospitalization, and 12 times more likely to die. In diabetes, the body's immune defense function is reduced, explained University of California professor Prakash Didvanya. Therefore, scientists recommend, you should regularly check your blood sugar. This will reduce the risks of mortality. According to the news agency, earlier Chinese scientists named several factors, the presence of which in a person infected with a new type of coronavirus increases the likelihood of death. So, according to the study, this is the elderly age of the patient, signs of sepsis and problems with blood clotting.
