Abstract

Background: Diabetes complications are a major burden on persons living with diabetes and the health care systems. Objectives: The study assessed the glycemic control, prevalence and predictors of type 2 diabetes complications among patientsin a healthcare centre. Methods: Two hundred adults who had type 2 diabetes in a general hospital were recruited for the study. Cross-sectional andretrospective surveys were used to determine prevalence, number and types of complications in the patients. SPSS version 21was used for descriptive analysis and Chi-square (p<0.05). Results: A total of 200 (100%) respondents participated in the study and 97 (48.5%) had poor glycemic control. Mean numberof complications per patient was 2.48 ± 1.22. Number of complications per person and type of complications were significantlyassociated with Age (p = 0.000 and p = 0.000, respectively), Gender (p = 0.008 and p = 0.031, respectively) and Occupation(p=0.000 and p=0.006, respectively). Marital status (p = 0.032) and years of diagnosis (p=0.021) were also associated with typeof complications. The majority of patients 64 (32.0%) were admitted in the previous year for diabetes-related complications.Majority 159 (79.5%) had ≥ 2 number of complications from the observed 497 complications. Conclusions: Poor glycemic control and high prevalence of complications were observed. Also, socio-demographic characteristicswere likely predictors of number and type of complications. These findings are essential for improved planning andprioritizing of diabetes care. Keywords: Complications; Nigeria; prevalence; socio-demographics predictors; type 2 diabetes.

2型糖尿病并发症的患病率和预测因素:单中心观察

背景:糖尿病并发症是糖尿病患者和卫生保健系统的主要负担。目的:评估某医疗中心2型糖尿病患者的血糖控制、患病率及并发症的预测因素。方法:在一家综合医院招募了200名患有2型糖尿病的成年人进行研究。采用横断面回顾性调查来确定患者并发症的患病率、数量和类型。使用SPSS version 21进行描述性分析和卡方(p<0.05)。结果:200人(100%)参与研究，97人(48.5%)血糖控制不良。平均并发症数为2.48±1.22例。并发症发生率、并发症类型与年龄(p=0.000、p=0.000)、性别(p= 0.008、p= 0.031)、职业(p=0.000、p=0.006)相关。婚姻状况(p= 0.032)和诊断年限(p=0.021)也与并发症类型相关。大多数患者64例(32.0%)在前一年因糖尿病相关并发症入院。在观察到的497例并发症中，159例(79.5%)并发症数≥2例。结论:患者血糖控制不良，并发症发生率高。此外，社会人口统计学特征可能是并发症数量和类型的预测因子。这些发现对于改善糖尿病护理的规划和优先排序至关重要。关键词:并发症;尼日利亚;患病率;socio-demographics预测;2型糖尿病。
