RESUMO
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.
RESUMO
Background: Type-2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia and may causes long term organs dysfunctions like retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, cardiovascular and autonomic dysfunction. Musculoskeletal and nervous system can also be affected by T2DM resulting pain, dysfunctions and disabilities. Objectives: This study is to find the prevalence of different pain conditions in patients with T2DM.Material & Methods:The study was conducted in public and private hospitals of four cities (Brahmanbaria, Dhaka, Gazipur and Faridpur) of Bangladesh from 1st April to 31st September, 2021. The patients of type II diabetes mellitus with both gender and age above 40 were included, and patients with other active systemic disease of bones and soft tissues were excluded. A self-structured questionnaire was developed. The questionnaire was distributed among 500 patients, out of whom 450 patients responded. The non-probability convenient sampling technique was used for data collection. The data was analyzed by SPSS and percentages were calculated to estimate the musculoskeletal complications in patients with T2DM.Results:The result showed high prevalence of pain conditions in T2DM patients. Older age groups of 61-65 (24%) years suffering from T2DM for more than 3 years having higher bloodsugar level 17-19 mmol/L with positive family history of DM were affected mostly. The prevalence of musculoskeletal pain condition in T2DM was 71.11%, while the low back pain was (42.88%), frozen shoulder was 31.33%, diabetic neuropathy was (26.89%) were the most common musculoskeletal problems, followed by knee pain (17.33%). Conclusions:It is concluded that the prevalence of different pain conditions are high among patients of T2DM and low back pain, shoulder pain, peripheral neuropathy and knee pain are common. These are mostly manageable conservatively.
RESUMO
Background: Patients with Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) have a significant death rate due to comorbid diseases. As a result, identifying risk factors associated with poor outcomes in COVID-19 patients is important. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the admission and outcome status of the patients confirmed with Covid-19.Material & Methods:This cross-sectional study was conducted at Mugda Medical College & Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from April 2020 to September 2020. Total 205 patients with covid-19 were included in this study. Collection of data were checked and cleaned. After cleaning, the data were entered into computer and statistical analysis of the results being obtained by using windows-based computer software devised with Statistical Packages for Social Sciences version 24.Results:In this study among 205 patients. Most of the study people 41(20.0%) confirmed with covid-19 were admitted in September 2020. Followed by 20(9.76%) in April 2020, 33(16.09%) in May 2020, 35(17.07%) in June 2020, 38(18.53%) in July 2020, 37(18.04%) in August 2020 and 41(20.0%) in September. 23(11.21%) highest death with covid-19 were admitted in July 2020. Most of the patients 104(50.73%) were discharged with advice and 101(49.26%) patients had expired. Out of 101 expired patients 92 (91%) had comorbidities. The most common comorbidity amongst ICU admitted patients was respiratory syndrome (55 in number) and least common was hypertension (6 in number).Conclusions:The death rate for COVID-19 hospitalized patients is 49.26%. The most prevalent comorbidities in individuals who died as a result of COVID-19 were respiratory syndrome, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.
