Higher mortality and longer length of stay in hospitalized patients with newly diagnosed diabetes
Authors' conclusion
Diabetes status at admission was closely linked to hospitalization-related outcomes. Notably, individuals with newly diagnosed diabetes demonstrated a higher risk of in-hospital mortality and a prolonged length of hospital stay.
