ABSTRACT
Introduction: Glycemic decompensation in diabetes is one of the major factors for the development of chronic disease complications. Factors involved in the adequate control of diabetes include adherence to pharmacological treatment and knowledge about the disease.Methods: Cross-sectional study on the factors associated with adherence to drug treatment and knowledge about diabetes in diabetic patients treated at Hospital Universitário de Santa Maria between 2018 and 2019, based on the validated Morisky-Green test and on the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire.Results: A total of 201 patients diagnosed with diabetes were included, the majority (85.6%) of which had type 2 diabetes and were white (75.6%), with a mean age of 59.4 years. An association between insufficient knowledge about diabetes and patients with type 2 diabetes was observed. An association was found between patients with type 2 diabetes using insulin and non-adherence to drug treatment compared with patients with type 2 diabetes who did use insulin. The research also showed that non-adherence to drug treatment was associated with higher occurrence of hypoglycemia compared with patients who adhered to drug treatment.Conclusion: The data obtained in our study allows us to conclude that non-adherence to pharmacological treatment makes diabetes therapy more complicated and worsens the prognosis.

RESUMO Objetivo analisar a utilização de serviços de urgência e emergência por indivíduos com complicações agudas de Hipertensão Arterial e/ou Diabetes Mellitus. Método estudo retrospectivo realizado nos três serviços públicos de pronto-atendimento em município do Sul do Brasil. Os dados foram coletados mediante consulta aos prontuários eletrônicos das pessoas que compareceram duas ou mais vezes no período de janeiro de 2018 a fevereiro de 2020. Na análise foi utilizado Regressão Logística e georreferenciamento dos endereços residenciais. Resultados das 1.125 pessoas, 72,7% procuraram os serviços por Hipertensão; 18,1% por Diabetes; e 7,3%, por ambas as condições. A maioria não possuía a condição crônica registrada na Atenção Primária e residia próximo aos serviços de pronto-atendimento. Tiveram mais chances de três ou mais comparecimentos os usuários que procuraram concomitantemente as Unidades de Pronto atendimento do Hospital Universitário e as municipais, por ambas as condições, com menor escolaridade e sem companheiro. Conclusão e implicações para a prática informações sobre a utilização dos serviços de urgência e emergência e das pessoas que os procuram por complicações agudas da Hipertensão e/ou Diabetes podem subsidiar a formulação de políticas públicas e a proposição de estratégias mais efetivas na identificação, acompanhamento e busca ativa de pessoas com condições crônicas.
RESUMEN Objetivo analizar el uso de los servicios de urgencia y emergencia por personas con complicaciones agudas de Hipertensión Arterial y / o Diabetes Mellitus. Método estudio retrospectivo realizado en los tres servicios públicos de emergencia de un municipio del sur de Brasil. Los datos se recogieron consultando las historias clínicas electrónicas de las personas que acudieron dos o más veces entre enero de 2018 y febrero de 2020. En el análisis se utilizó la Regresión Logística y la georreferenciación de domicilios. Resultados de las 1125 personas, el 72,7% buscó servicios por hipertensión, el 18,1% por diabetes mellitus y el 7,3% por ambas condiciones. La mayoría no tenía la enfermedad crónica registrada en Atención Primaria y vivía cerca de los servicios de emergencia. Los usuarios que acudieron de forma concurrente a las Unidades Hospitalarias de Urgencias del Hospital Universitario y las municipales, por ambas condiciones, con menor escolaridad y sin pareja tenían más probabilidades de tener tres o más apariciones. Conclusión e implicaciones para la práctica las informaciones sobre el uso de los servicios de urgencia y emergencia y las personas que los buscan por complicaciones agudas de Hipertensión Arterial y / o Diabetes Mellitus pueden apoyar la formulación de políticas públicas y la propuesta de estrategias más efectivas en la identificación, seguimiento y búsqueda activa de personas con enfermedades crónicas.
ABSTRACT Objective to analyze the use of urgency and emergency services by individuals with acute complications of Hypertension and/or Diabetes Mellitus. Method a retrospective study conducted in three public emergency care services in a city in southern Brazil. Data was collected by consulting the electronic medical records of people who attended two or more times during the period from January 2018 to February 2020. Logistic Regression and geo-referencing of residential addresses were used in the analysis. Results of the 1,125 people, 72.7% sought the services for hypertension; 18.1% for diabetes; and 7.3% for both conditions. Most did not have the chronic condition registered in Primary Care and lived near the emergency services. Users who sought the Emergency Care Units of the University Hospital and the municipal ones concomitantly, for both conditions, with less education, and without a partner had a greater chance of three or more attendances. Conclusion and implications for practice information on the use of urgency and emergency services and of people who seek them for acute complications of Hypertension and/or Diabetes can subsidize the formulation of public policies and the proposition of more effective strategies in the identification, follow-up and active search for people with chronic conditions.

Objetivo: Investigar os fatores associados ao controle glicêmico em indivíduos com diabetes mellitus (DM). Métodos: estudo seccional, com participantes do Estudo Longitudinal de Saúde do Adulto com DM autorreferido; utilizou-se regressão logística binomial. Resultados: foram incluídos 1.242 indivíduos; 54,2% apresentaram hemoglobina glicada ≥6,5%, evidenciando controle glicêmico inadequado; mostraram-se fatores associados ao controle glicêmico inadequado o sexo masculino (OR=1,39 IC95%1,05;1,85), raça/cor da pele preta (OR=1,74 IC95%1,22;2,48) ou parda (OR=1,57 IC95%1,14;2,16), nível médio de ocupação (OR=1,63 IC95%1,02;2,58), não ter plano de saúde (OR=1,47 IC95%1,09;1,96), uso de insulina (OR=7,34 IC95%3,56;15,15), relação cintura-quadril alterada (OR=1,87 IC95%1,19;2,93), tabagismo (OR=1,73 IC95%1,09;2,74) e autoavaliação da saúde ruim ou muito ruim (OR=2,37 IC95%1,17;4,83). Conclusão: os resultados reforçam o contexto multicausal no controle glicêmico, que foi associado a fatores sociodemográficos, estilos de vida e condições de saúde.

Objective: to investigate factors associated with glycemic control in individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: this was a cross-sectional study, with participants in the Longitudinal Study of Adult Health with self-reported DM; binomial logistic regression was used. Results: 1,242 individuals were included; 54.2% had glycated hemoglobin ≥6.5%, showing inadequate glycemic control; factors associated with inadequate glycemic control were male sex (OR=1.39 95%CI 1.05;1.85), black skin color (OR=1.74 95%CI 1.22;2.48) or brown skin color (OR=1,57 95%CI 1.14;2.16), average occupation level (OR=1.63 95%CI 1.02;2.58), not having health insurance (OR=1.47 95%CI 1.09;1.96), use of insulin (OR=7.34 95%CI 3.56;15.15), increased waist-to-hip ratio (OR=1.87 95%CI 1.19;2.93), smoking (OR=1.73 95%CI 1.09;2.74), and poor or very poor self-rated health (OR=2.37 95%CI 1.17;4.83). Conclusion: the results reinforce the multicausal context in glycemic control, which was associated with sociodemographic factors, lifestyles and health conditions.
