Abstract
BACKGROUND: Hyperglycemia at admission has been demonstrated to exacerbate the outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) but a meta-analysis is lacking to further confirm this hypothesis. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to summarize the evidence on the association between hyperglycemia at admission and the development of COVID-19. METHOD: Four databases namely, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library, were screened for eligible studies. STATA software was utilized to pool data for this meta-analysis. The primary outcomes included mortality and severity. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated with random-effects models, and the quality of evidence was appraised by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). This meta-analysis was prospectively registered online on PROSPERO, CRD42020191763. RESULTS: Sixteen observational studies with 6386 COVID-19 patients relating hyperglycemia at admission to COVID-19 outcomes were included. The overall data demonstrated that, compared with the control, the hyperglycemia at admission group was more likely to have increased mortality (OR = 3.45, 95% CI, 2.26-5.26) and severe/critical complications (OR = 2.08, 95% CI, 1.45-2.99) of COVID-19. CONCLUSION: Hyperglycemia at admission in COVID-19 patients may be a strong predictor of mortality and complications.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
