Therapeutic effect of rehabilitation intervention on patients with diabetes mellitus complicated tubercu-losis / 心血管康复医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore therapeutic effect of rehabilitation intervention on patients with diabetes mellitus (DM)complicated tuberculosis (TB).Methods:A total of 108 DM + TB patients treated in our hospital from Jan 2008 to Aug 2013 were enrolled.According to random number method,they were randomly and equally divided into rehabilitation intervention group and routine treatment group.The intervention course was eight weeks,and then rehabilitation effect was compared between two groups.Results:Compared with before treatment,after treatment, there were significant reductions in fasting blood glucose (FBG)and 2h postprandial blood glucose (2hPBG)in both groups,P <0.01 all;compared with routine treatment group,after treatment,there were significant reductions in levels of FBG [(6.77±1.82)mmol/L vs.(5.54±1.46)mmol/L]and 2hPBG [(7.94±1.83)mmol/L vs.(6.87 ±1.42)mmol/L],P <0.01 both,and significant rise in percentages of significant reduced or disappeared pleural effusion (51.85% vs.83.33%)and significant reduced or closed TB focus (44.44% vs.72.22%)in rehabilitation intervention group,P <0.01 both.Conclusion:Rehabilitation intervention can make patients get better control of blood glucose,promote absorption of pleural effusion and pulmonary tuberculosis focus.
