Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic health condition that has been linked with an increased risk of severe illness and mortality from COVID‐19. In Mexico, the impact of diabetes on COVID‐19 outcomes in hospitalized patients has not been fully quantified. Understanding the increased risk posed by diabetes in this patient population can help healthcare providers better allocate resources and improve patient outcomes.
