Real-world risk factors of confirmed or probable COVID-19 in Americans with diabetes: A prospective, community-based study (iNPHORM).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Americans with diabetes are clinically vulnerable to worse COVID-19 outcomes; thus, insight into how to prevent infection is imperative. Using longitudinal, prospective data from the real-world iNPHORM study, we identify the intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors of confirmed or probable COVID-19 in people with type 1 or 2 diabetes.

Methods

The iNPHORM study recruited 1206 Americans (18-90 years) with insulin- and/or secretagogue-treated type 1 or 2 diabetes from a probability-based internet panel. Online questionnaires (screener, baseline and 12 monthly follow-ups) assessed COVID-19 incidence and various plausible intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Multivariable Cox regression was used to model the rate of COVID-19 (confirmed or probable). Risk factors were selecte
