Matias, Alexandra A.; Manique, Inês; Sabino, Teresa; Rego, Teresa; Mihon, Claudia; Panarra, António; Rizzo, Manfredi; Silva-Nunes, JoséDiabetes is a risk factor for the greater severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is an independent predictor of critical illness, and it is reported to have a stronger association than absolute hyperglycemia. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between absolute hyperglycemia and SHR with the severity of COVID-19 since there are no studies investiga...

Manique, Inês; Matias, Alexandra Abegão; Bouça, Bruno; Rego, Teresa; Cortez, Luísa; Sabino, Teresa; Panarra, António; Rizzo, Manfredi; Silva-Nunes, JoséDiabetes mellitus (DM) has emerged as a major risk factor for COVID-19 severity and SARS-CoV-2 infection can worsen glycemic control and may precipitate new-onset diabetes. At-admission hyperglycemia (AH) is a known predictor for worse outcomes in many diseases and seems to have a similar effect in COVID-19 patients. In this study, we aimed to assess the impact of AH regardless of pre-existing diabetes mellitus...

Siopa, Margarida; Sarmento, João; Santos, Rodrigo; Lopes, Sílvia; Dias, Sónia; Guerreiro, António Sousa; Panarra, António; Nascimento, PaulaIntroduction: In Portugal, the hospitalizations for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSH) account for 12% of all hospitalizations with an estimated financial impact of up to 450 million€. Therefore, understanding the determinants of avoidable hospitalizations is important to develop policies and interventions that reduce the ACSH. Analyzing the patient’s perspective brings an angle relevant to explain the...
