Abstract
Aims: To explore an cost-effective, convenient method for lipohypertrophy (LH) detection with a high detection rate, and to construct a classification table for LH, so as to provide reference for LH screening and management.
Methods: From December 2021 to November 2022, 395 hospitalized patients with diabetes from a Tianjin tertiary hospital were enrolled. The LH was detected through ultrasound scanning (USS), structured visual palpation (SVP), and ordinary visual palpation (OVP), and the detection rates were compared. A classification table for LH (LH-LNT table) was constructed based on SVP characteristics.
Results: Under USS, SVP, and OVP, the detection of LH was 89.6%, 78.0%, and 66.6% respectively, with site detection at 92.3%, 71.2%, and 57.8% respectively, showcasing statistically significant differences among the three methods. SVP had a lower misdiagnosis rate than OVP, with upper arm and thighs being common misdiagnosed sites. LH was mostly found in the lower abdomen, flat, and soft on palpation. L1N2T1 (two soft LH on abdomen) was the main type, accounting for 35.4%.
Conclusions: SVP is useful for detecting LH and deserves clinical promotion. The LH-LNT table constructed here effectively summarizes patient LH status, aiding doctor-nurse-patient communication.
期刊介绍:
Diabetic Medicine, the official journal of Diabetes UK, is published monthly simultaneously, in print and online editions.
The journal publishes a range of key information on all clinical aspects of diabetes mellitus, ranging from human genetic studies through clinical physiology and trials to diabetes epidemiology. We do not publish original animal or cell culture studies unless they are part of a study of clinical diabetes involving humans. Categories of publication include research articles, reviews, editorials, commentaries, and correspondence. All material is peer-reviewed.
We aim to disseminate knowledge about diabetes research with the goal of improving the management of people with diabetes. The journal therefore seeks to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers worldwide. Topics covered are of importance to all healthcare professionals working with people with diabetes, whether in primary care or specialist services.
Surplus generated from the sale of Diabetic Medicine is used by Diabetes UK to know diabetes better and fight diabetes more effectively on behalf of all people affected by and at risk of diabetes as well as their families and carers.”
