DAH is characterized by the effusion of blood into the alveoli caused by numerous diseases related to hemoptysis, hypoxemia due to alveolar collapse, anemia, diffuse lung infiltration, acute respiratory failure, and death. DAH is usually diffuse but may also be focal. DAH should be distinguished from another mechanism of pulmonary hemorrhage due to localized pulmonary abnormalities and bronchial circulation. 1–3 Pulmonary hemorrhage can arise from the small, medium, and large pulmonary vessels are typically due to systemic vasculitis, which is one of the most common etiology of DAH. Vasculitis involving the microvasculature is known as pulmonary capillaritis. 2, 4

The aim of this study is to assess the correlation between DM comorbidities with severity level of COVID-19 in geriatric patients. Method: This is a retrospective study which was held at Wangaya Hospital, Denpasar, from May to August 2021. The data taken from the medical record includes those from confirmed Covid-19 patients aged 60 and older. We exclude all patients under 60 years old. Result: 39 samples were obtained in this study. We found that there was no significant difference in severity of geriatric COVID-19 patients who had diabetes mellitus comorbities and those who had no diabetes mellitus as comorbities (p=0.267, CI 95; respectively). Conclusion: There is no significant difference in severity in geriatric COVID-19 patients with diabetes mellitus comorbities. However, further researches with larger number of sa...
