Quality of life status and influencing factors of patients with tuberculosis and glucose metabolism disorders / 公共卫生与预防医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the current status and influencing factors of quality of life in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis complicating glucose metabolism disorders. Methods A total of 117 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis complicating glucose metabolism disorders (combined group) and 121 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (single group) in our hospital from March 2017 to April 2020 were enrolled. The quality of life of patients was investigated using health survey questionnaire, then the general data of patients were collected and the risk factors of glucose metabolism disorder were analyzed. Results The score of quality of life of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis complicating glucose metabolism disorder was significantly lower than that of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (P<0.05) . Among patients with pulmonary tuberculosis complicating glucose metabolism disorder, the scores of quality of life among patients of male, age 18-44 years old, monthly income ≥ 4500, good glycemic control, good diet control, and regular daily exercise were higher than those of female patients, age 45-59 years old, age ≥ 60 years old, low monthly income, poor glycemic control, poor diet control and seldom exercise ( P<0.05 ) ; Gender, monthly income, age and blood glucose control were risk factors for quality of life in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis complicating glucose metabolism disorder (P<0.05) . Conclusion The quality of life of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis complicating glucose metabolism disorder is at low level, especially among people of the female, age over 60 years old, a monthly income less than 4500 yuan and poor blood glucose control, so the related health public education is of vital importance in the prevention of worsened quality of life.
