Abstract Background Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly, with a growing number of cases confirmed around the world. This study explores the relationship of fasting blood glucose (FBG) at admission with mortality. Methods In this retrospective, single-center study, we analyzed the clinical characteristics of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Wu Han from 29 January 2020 to 23 February 2020. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between FBG and mortality. Results A total of 107 patients were enrolled in our study. The average age was 59.49 ± 13.33 and the FBG at admission was 7.35 ± 3.13 mmol/L. There were 16 people died of COVID-19 with an average age 68.1 ± 9.5 and the FBG was 8.94 ± 4.76 mmol/L. Regression analysis showed that there were significant association between FBG and death (HR = 1.13, 95%CI: 1.02-1.24). After adjusting for covariables, the significance still exists. In addition, our result showed that FBG > 7.0 mmol/L or diabetic mellitus can significantly increase mortality after adjusting for the age and gender. Conclusions This study suggests that FBG at admission is an effective and reliable indicator for disease prognosis in COVID-19 patients.

This study was conducted to assess the presence of microalbuminuria in newly detected diabetesmellitus (DM) cases in a small group of Bangladeshi population attending BIRDEM out patientdepartment and to find out the relationship (if any) of microalbuminuria with different clinical andbiochemical parameters. Out of 110 DM cases, 10 (9.1%) were found to have microalbuminuria.Blood pressure, both systolic (r=0.190) and diastolic (r = 0.30) had significant positive correlationwith urinary albumin. There was no association of microalbuminuria with waist circumference,waist to hip ratio, serum triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, age, sex, weight,height or BMI. This suggests that all newly detected diabetes mellitus should be screened for raisedblood pressure and if found positive be given the same importance as blood glucose. They should betreated meticulously to revert or prevent microalbuminuria and thus prevent complications.Ibrahim Med. Coll. J. 2010; 4(1): 21-25DOI: 10.3329/imcj.v4i1.5931

This study aimed to analyze the relationship of insulin-like growth factor 1 with bone mass in obese female. This study used a cross sectional study method using 30 obese women aged 19-23 years, body mass index (BMI) 25-35 kg / m2, normal blood pressure, normal resting heart rate (RHR), normal hemoglobin (Hb). and fasting blood glucose (FBG) <100 mg / dL. Measurement of IGF-1 levels used the Enzym Link Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method. Measurement of bone mass using TANITA (Body Composition Analyzer DC3607601 (2) -1604 FA, TANITA Corporation of America, Inc., USA). The data analysis technique used the Pearson product-moment test with Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The results showed that mean levels of IGF-1 (1.17 ± 0.10) ng / mL and bone mass (2.49 ± 0.06) kg (r = 0.712, P ≤ 0.001). Our findings suggest that there was a positive correlation between IGF-1 levels and bone mass
