{"title":"Study of Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1C) biomarker among the Employees with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Relation to Various Other Modifiable Non Communicable Diseases Risk Factors at NSCBI Airport, Kolkata","authors":"M. Kundu, M. Bhattacharya","doi":"10.37506/ijphrd.v13i1.17318","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.37506/ijphrd.v13i1.17318","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Diabetes is a global endemic with rapidly increasing prevalence in both developing and developed countries. In the recent years diabetes mellitus (DM) has emerged as a major public health problem worldwide with potential to develop vascular and neuropathic complications. HbA1c is an important indicator of long-term glycemic control with the ability to reflect the cumulative glycemic history of the preceding two to three months. This study is done to determine the glycemic control among the employees having diabetes and also to correlate with various other modifiable non communicable diseases (NCDs) risk factors. Methods: In this descriptive observational study 156 diabetes mellitus patients who were identified through research study on non communicable diseases with risk factors, were subjected to glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) biomarker study. The results were tabulated and analysed to assess the status of glycemic control and correlation with various risk factors in relation to various modifiable NCDs were made. Results: In this study majority of the patient were in the age group of 40-60 years and 73.7% were male patients. Also 27.5% of them had coexisting hypertension, 37.8% with pre-hypertension, 61.5 % with abdominal obesity. Present study showed that 25% were in good glycemic control (HbA1c<7%), 34.6% were in fair glycemic control (HbA1c 7-9%) and 40.38% were in poor glycemic control (HbA1c (>9%). Poor gylcemic control is predominant among Smokers, Alcoholics, Obese, Hypertensive and also those having High BMI, Low Physical Activities and Unhealthy diets. Conclusions: Present study showed that glycemic control as per HbAIc biomarker were poor among the diabetic employees and it was predominant among Smokers, Alcoholics, Obese, Hypertensive and also among those having High BMI, Low Physical Activities and Unhealthy diets and other modifiable NCD risk factors. Hence HbA1c can be used as a useful biomarker to assess the long-term control of mellitus and hence to prevent complications due to diabetes.","PeriodicalId":13368,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Public Health Research and Development","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89797869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These interactions may happen during surgeries, during clinical and nursing administrations, basic assessment or while taking care of hospital facility. Knowledge, Attitude & Practice (KAP) regarding infection prevention and control (IPC) may include hand hygiene, use of PPE, gloves, masks, face shields, use of sanitizers, bio-medical waste management for safe work environment in hospitals. With this backdrop a KAP study was conducted in small hospitals, having bed strength up to 50 beds, in Churu District of Rajasthan. Methods: The study design is descriptive and cross-sectional and was conducted in 6 small hospitals (less than 50 beds) of Churu District. The study tool included scheduled Interview and questionnaire and was conducted in Feb. to June 2020. The sample size included 75 Healthcare Workers (doctors, nurses, and staff of hospitals). The sampling technique was multistage sampling.The percentage of correct answers were recorded. A score of less than 50% was considered poor, 50% to 70% as fair while 70% and above was considered good. Conclusion: The information on the staff was discovered to be among reasonable and good i.e., in the range of 65-75%. The act of discarding waste material was less and was observed as 67%. It was seen that 87% of staff were hepatitis B inoculated.Regular training regarding infection prevention can increase the knowledge and standardised measure may be followed by healthcare workers and staff present in the hospitals.","PeriodicalId":13368,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Public Health Research and Development","volume":"787 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85456828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
