Background: Diabetes mellitus is a lifelong chronic disease with higher risk of mortality and morbidity

Objective: To study the risk factors of death in hospitalized diabetic patients

Methods: Data obtained from the database of the National Health Fund (NHF), a public organization financing medical procedures in Poland regarded 958305 hospitalizations of adult (≥18 years old) patients with diabetes in 2014 year. Logistic regression models were performed to identity independent predictors of in-hospital mortality.

Results: There were 573719 hospitalizations in non-surgical wards and 384586 in surgical wards. The mean in-hospital mortality rate was 3,20% (4,52% in non-surgical and 1,23% in surgical wards). In non-surgical wards, odds ratio for in-hospital death increased with patients age, being 52-fold higher in the ≥95 years old group compared to the 18–24 years age group; male gender, emergency admission, admission on weekend or other non-working day, hospitalization in county/town, private or regional hospital (vs teaching hospital), were factors associated with greater mortality. In surgical wards odds ratio for in-hospital death started to increase after 75th year of life, being 13-fold higher in the ≥95 years old group compared to the 18–24 years age group; female gender, emergency admission, admission on weekend or other non-working day, hospitalization in county/town or regional hospital (vs teaching hospital), were factors associated with greater mortality.

Conclusions: Predictors of in-hospital mortality in patients with diabetes are age, sex, type of hospital admission, admission on non-working day and type of hospital.
