| N | Known diabetes | Unrecognized diabetes | No diabetes | p Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number | 5082 | 1452 (29%) | 271 (5%) | 3359 (66%) | |
| LOS (days, median IQR) | 5082 | 4 (2.0, 8.0) | 4 (2.0, 7.0) | 4 (2.0, 8.0) | 0.381 |
| ICU admission (%) | 5082 | 10.6% | 7.0% | 9.1% | 0.104 |
| Mechanical ventilation (%) | 5082 | 5.6% | 4.4% | 4.3% | 0.140 |
| Readmission at 6 months (%) | 5082 | 25.9% | 23.3% | 21.8% | 0.008 |

The continuous explanatory variables (LOS) were analyzed with the use of the Kruskal–Wallis test.
The categorical explanatory variables (ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, readmission at 6 months and mortality at 6 months) were analyzed with the use of the Fisher's exact test.
ICU, intensive care unit; LOS, length of stay.
