    Nivel alto de azúcar en la sangre se relaciona con riesgo de COVID-19 grave

    Los niveles altos de azúcar en la sangre previos a la infección se han relacionado con un mayor riesgo de casos graves de COVID-19, incluso en personas no diabéticas, según un nuevo estudio.

    La investigación conjunta de la Facultad de Tecnología de Jerusalén, la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén, el fondo de salud Meuhedet y el Centro Médico Hadassah muestra que incluso los pacientes prediabéticos con niveles altos de azúcar en la sangre después del ayuno tienen más probabilidades de desarrollar síntomas graves después de contraer COVID-19.


    El nivel estándar de azúcar en sangre para un adulto es de 70–100 mg/dl, después de haber ayunado al menos ocho horas. En pacientes diagnosticados con diabetes, el mayor riesgo (uno en cada cuatro pacientes) de contraer COVID-19 grave se encontró en pacientes con niveles bajos de azúcar, por debajo de 80 mg/dl. El riesgo más bajo (1 de cada 12) se encontró en pacientes con niveles de azúcar de 106–125 mg/dl.

    Para los pacientes sin diagnóstico de diabetes, cuanto más altos son los niveles de azúcar, mayor es el riesgo de padecer COVID-19 grave.

    Los pacientes con niveles de azúcar de 105–125 mg/dl en ayunas tenían 1.5 veces más riesgo de desarrollar COVID-19 grave que los pacientes con valores de azúcar inferiores a 105. Mientras que los pacientes con niveles de azúcar de 125–140 mg/dl tenían el doble de probabilidades de desarrollar complicaciones de COVID-19 comparado con los pacientes con niveles de azúcar inferiores a 105.

    “El objetivo del estudio era localizar factores de riesgo de morbilidad grave por COVID-19 que pudieran atenderse con anticipación, para que pudiéramos aumentar la conciencia sobre esos factores entre el público en general”, dijo el doctor Michal Shauly-Aharonov del Departamento de Ingeniería Industrial y de Gestión en la Facultad de Tecnología de Jerusalén y la Escuela de Salud Pública de la Universidad Hebrea.

    El estudio, que se publicó primero en la revista Plos One, examinó a todos los beneficiarios del fondo de salud Meuhedet mayores de 18 años, incluidos 37 mil 121 sujetos (16.7 por ciento del grupo total) que registraron una prueba PCR COVID-19 positiva entre marzo y octubre de 2020. Además, 707 de los sujetos presentaron un caso grave de enfermedad (1.9 por ciento del grupo total); entre los casos graves, 244 murieron (34.5 por ciento), 188 ingresaron en la unidad de cuidado intensivo (26.5 por ciento) y 538 fueron hospitalizados durante diez días o más (76 por ciento).

    De acuerdo con la doctora Orit Bernholtz-Gulchin, directora de la clínica regional de diabetes de Meuhedet, los hallazgos significan que el énfasis de la comunidad médica “debe ponerse en la prevención de la hipoglucemia [una condición en la que el nivel de azúcar en la sangre cae drásticamente de los niveles normativos] en poblaciones que, según se ha encontrado, están en riesgo de comorbilidad grave de COVID-19”.

    Los investigadores también recomendaron poner especial atención a los pacientes sin diagnóstico de diabetes que presentan niveles anormales de azúcar durante el ayuno o que muestran niveles elevados de hemoglobina HbA1C, así como a los diabéticos con bajo nivel de azúcar, que también tienen un mayor riesgo de complicaciones por COVID-19.

    “El estudio muestra de manera sólida cuánto se puede aprender de un registro médico continuo y de calidad, como el que tenemos en el sistema de salud israelí”, dijo la profesora Ora Paltiel de la Escuela de Salud Pública de la Universidad Hebrea.

     Nivel alto de azúcar en la sangre se relaciona con riesgo de COVID-19 grave se publicó primero en Israel21C.

Photo Credit: Holy Cross Health Submitted by Paige Feigenbaum and Joseph Guastaferro DEERFIELD BEACH, FL– In advance of Emergency Nurses Week, Holy Cross Health received a proclamation from the City of Deerfield Beach at the city’s commission meeting on October 6. Emergency nurses are the first line of defense in the health care system, providing lifesaving care to patients during their most vulnerable moments. This year’s Emergency Nurses Week theme highlights the resilience, expertise and unwavering dedication these professionals bring to local emergency departments every day. “It is an honor for the City of Deerfield Beach commission to invite us to their meeting. This official proclamation means a great deal to our local frontline health care workers by helping raise public awareness of the critical role emergency nurses play in public safety and community health,” said Lisa M. Alward, BSN, RN, TNCC, SANE-A, Unit Base Nursing Council Chair at Holy Cross Freestanding Deerfield Beach Emergency Department. “On behalf of our council and my colleagues, I appreciate the time, leadership and constant support we receive from Mayor Drosky and Vice Mayor Hudak. The commission and Holy Cross Health both provide essential services to our community.” For more than 70 years, Holy Cross Health has been serving Deerfield Beach residents, but never more so than now. In May, the new Holy Cross Health Center & Emergency Care — Deerfield Beach opened to provide care closer to home. Holy Cross Health will fill even more emergency nursing positions when Holy Cross Health Center & Emergency Care – Fort Lauderdale at Sunrise, which is currently under construction, opens in August 2027. This year, Emergency Nurses Week will be celebrated from October 11 to 17 with Emergency Nurses Day on October 14. Emergency nurses care for patients on the worst days of their lives, and Emergency Nurses Week serves as an annual reminder to recognize the dedication, compassion and strength emergency nurses display, even in the most challenging times. Since 1989, the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) has recognized the second Wednesday in October as Emergency Nurses Day to honor emergency nurses for their commitment to patient care. In 2001, ENA expanded the celebration to devote an entire week to celebrating emergency nurses. For more information on emergency nursing or Emergency Nurses Week, please visit the Emergency Nurses Association at www.ena.org. During Emergency Nurses Week and throughout the year, Holy Cross Health encourages patients and their families to show their appreciation for emergency nurses or any health care provider who goes above and beyond the call of duty and touched their lives by making a monetary gift through the Healing Heroes program, which honors exceptional service and advances Holy Cross Health’s mission of compassionate, patient-centered care.
