ABSTRACT
Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) are common diseases that frequently co-exist, along with overweight/obesity and diabetes. It affects mostly the hips, knees, hands and feet that causes severe disability and loss of quality of life, particularly in the elderly population. Objective: The present study was conducted to access the Prevalence of knee osteoarthritis in diabetes and obese patients.Material & Methods:This case study was conducted among 110 diabetic and 70 obese patients who attended Bangladesh Korea Friendship Hospital and Dhaka Pain Management center, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The data were analyzed using the SPSS version 25.0.Results:Out of 110 diabetic patients 55% were female and out of 70 obese patients 57% were female. Prevalence of knee osteoarthritis among diabetic patients was 50% and 65% for obese patients.Conclusions:Our findings bolster current public health strategies targeted at lowering the burden of knee OA by addressing obesity and diabetes. Obesity and diabetes are linked to knee osteoarthritis, and the risk is especially high among obese adults.
ABSTRACT
Background: The rationale of determining the percentage ofanalgesics used in postoperative period is to determine the realutilization of opioid sparing effect of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs and the concept of multimodal analgesia.Objectives: To determine the cost of opioids consumptionbecause the opioids are expensive.Methods: Total 541 patients were selected to find out thetypes of analgesics are being used in the postoperative eperiod irrespective of the types of operation and anaesthesia,premedication by analgesics and intraoperative analgesicsused or not. Patients were divided into several age groups.Results: In the existing prospective cross sectional study it isviewed that combination of intramuscular injection of pethidineand nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (either in suppositoryform or intravenous or intramuscular route) have the highestpercentage in postoperative pain relief.
