¿Es posible alcanzar en la práctica clínica los objetivos de control metabólico establecidos para pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 1 / Can the metabolic control targets established for patients with type 1 diabetets be achieved in clinical in clinical practice?
Se analiza una amplia cohorte de pacientes con DM1 (489pacientes) en seguimiento por nuestra UGC desde 2005 a 2007. En el período estudiado, el valor medio de glucohemoglobina (HbA1c) mejoró del 7,78 al 7,36%; se incrementó el porcentaje de pacientes con HbA1cmedia menor del 7% desde el 24,6 hasta el 27,1%, y disminuyó del 42,6hasta el 38,7% el porcentaje de pacientes con HbA1c media superior al 8%.En el año 2007, tan sólo un 35,5% de los pacientes mantenían cifras medias de colesterol de las lipoproteínas de baja densidadmenores de100 mg/dl.
The database included in the computer application HP-Doctor used forall patients attended in our unit(admissions, consultations and peripheral centers) was analyzed. All patients with a principal or secondarydiagnosis of type 1diabetes were included. The quality indicators analyzed were selected from the main clinical practice guidelines for these patients.
Results:
A large cohort of patients with type 1 diabetes (n = 489) followed-up from2005 to 2007 was analyzed. During the study period, the mean glycated hemoglobin level (HbA1c) decreased from7.78% to 7.36%, the percentage of patients with HbA1c lower than 7% increased from24.6% to 27.1% and the percentage patients with a mean HbA1c of more than8% decreased from 42.6% to 38.7%. In2007, only 35.5% of patients maintained low-density lipoprotein concentrations ofless than 100 mg/dl.
Conclusions:
Despite the improvement obtained in metabolic control parameters, most of the patients with type 1 diabetes studied showed inadequate glycemic and lipid control (AU)
