Abstract
Background: COVID-19 is an unknown and novel virus that creates a challenge with all comorbid conditions, including diabetes mellitus (DM). Although DM has not been determined as a definite risk factor for COVID-19 in childhood, clinicians should consider the potential association between DM and COVID-19. Objectives: This study aimed to review COVID-19 and DM comorbidity in children. Methods: ISI Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar were investigated to find relevant articles regarding COVID-19 and DM. Results: Data revealed 50% higher fatal outcomes of COVID-19 in DM children than in healthy ones. Because of the importance of DM in children, it seems mandatory to consider type 1 diabetes and its consequences on COVID-19. Conclusions: Understanding the pathophysiology of COVID-19 and its interaction with DM are helpful for better management of the disease. These considerations can help clinicians make better decisions about the treatment modalities, management, and diabetic ketoacidosis treatment.
背景:COVID-19是一种未知的新型病毒,对包括糖尿病(DM)在内的所有合并症造成挑战。虽然糖尿病尚未被确定为儿童COVID-19的明确危险因素,但临床医生应考虑糖尿病与COVID-19之间的潜在关联。目的:本研究旨在回顾COVID-19和糖尿病在儿童中的合并症。方法:对ISI Web of Science、PubMed和谷歌Scholar进行调查,查找有关COVID-19和糖尿病的相关文章。结果:数据显示,糖尿病儿童的COVID-19致命结局比健康儿童高50%。由于糖尿病在儿童中的重要性,似乎有必要考虑1型糖尿病及其对COVID-19的影响。结论:了解COVID-19的病理生理学及其与糖尿病的相互作用有助于更好地管理疾病。这些考虑可以帮助临床医生对治疗方式、管理和糖尿病酮症酸中毒治疗做出更好的决定。
