The study aimed to investigate the association between moderate COVID-19 infection and hyperglycaemia. The results showed that COVID-19 patients had significantly higher average blood glucose levels compared to patients with other viral infections, especially those with gastrointestinal symptoms or fever. Therefore, COVID-19 infection is associated with an increased risk of hyperglycaemia.
Background and Objectives: COVID-19 infection may influence many physiological processes, including glucose metabolism. Acute hyperglycaemia has been related to a worse prognosis in patients with severe COVID-19 infection. The aim of our study was to find out if moderate COVID-19 infection is associated with hyperglycaemia. Materials and Methods: A total of 235 children were enrolled in the study between October 2021 and October 2022, 112 with confirmed COVID-19 infection and 123 with other RNA viral infection. In all patients, types of symptoms, glycaemia at the time of admission, and basic anthropometric and biochemical parameters were recorded. Results: Average glycaemia was significantly higher in COVID-19 patients compared to other viral infections (5.7 +/- 1.12 vs. 5.31 +/- 1.4 mmol/L, p = 0.011). This difference was more obvious in subgroups with gastrointestinal manifestations (5.6 +/- 1.11 vs. 4.81 +/- 1.38 mmol/L, p = 0.0006) and with fever (5.76 +/- 1.22 vs. 5.11 +/- 1.37 mmol/L, p = 0.002), while no significant difference was found in subgroups with mainly respiratory symptoms. The risk of hyperglycaemia (>5.6 mmol/L) was higher in COVID-19 patients compared to other viral infections (OR = 1.86, 95%CI = 1.10-3.14, p = 0.02). The risk of hyperglycaemia was significantly higher in COVID-19 compared to other viral infections in the subgroups of patients with fever (OR = 3.59, 95% CI 1.755-7.345, p = 0.0005) and with gastrointestinal manifestations (OR = 2.48, 95% CI 1.058-5.791, p = 0.036). Conclusion: According to our results, mild hyperglycaemia was significantly more common in children with moderate COVID-19 infection compared to other RNA virus respiratory and gastrointestinal infections, especially when accompanied by fever or gastrointestinal symptoms.
