Prevalencia de los factores de riesgo vascular entre los casos con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 y sin diabetes hospitalizados de 2011 a 2013 por accidentes cerebrovasculares / Prevalence of vascular risk factors in patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus admitted to hospital for stroke in the 2011-2013 period

Introducción: Los accidentes cerebrovasculares (ACV) y la diabetes tipo 2 (DMT2) representan algunas de las principales causas de morbi-mortalidad en Europa. Objetivo: Describir los factores de riesgo vascular (FRV) de mayor prevalencia entre la población española con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 y sin diabetes que ha sufrido un ingreso hospitalario relacionado con ACV durante el periodo 2011-2013. Material y método: Usando los datos del Conjunto Mínimo Básico de Datos (CMBD) del periodo 2011 - 2013 se ha realizado un estudio epidemiológico observacional descriptivo comparando las prevalencias de los FRV de la población española hospitalizada por un ACV. La muestra se ha estratificado por la existencia o no de un diagnóstico de DMT2. Otras variables estudiadas han sido: mortalidad intrahospitalaria o MIH, duración de la estancia hospitalaria o EH y otras variables clínicas y sociodemográficas. Resultados: La hipertensión resultó el factor de riesgo vascular más prevalente en todos los grupos de población. El sexo femenino, la edad y la DMT2 presentaron una asociación estadísticamente significativa (p<0,05) con la MIH en los ACV. Conclusiones: La HTA es el FRV más común seguido de la hipercolesterolemia en la muestra estudiada. Existen diferencias significativas entre las prevalencias de la HTA en la población con DMT2 y la población sin DMT2. Además, la DMT2 es un factor independiente de riesgo de la MIH en cualquier caso de hospitalización relacionada con ACV

Introduction: Stroke and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Europe. Objective: To describe the vascular risk factors most prevalent in the Spanish population with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus admitted to hospital for a stroke during the 2011-2013 period. Material and Methods: Using the Spanish Minimum Basic Data Set from 2011 to 2013, a descriptive, observational epidemiological study was conducted comparing the prevalence rates of vascular risk factors in Spanish patients admitted to hospital for stroke. The sample was stratified by the presence or absence of a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Other variables studied included in-hospital mortality, length of hospital stay, and other clinical and sociodemographic variables. Results: Hypertension was the most prevalent vascular risk factor in all population groups. Female sex, age, and T2DM had a statistically significant association (p<0.05) to hospital mortality in stroke. Conclusions: Hypertension was the most common vascular risk factor in the study sample, followed by hypercholesterolemia. There were no differences in prevalence of hypertension between patients with and without T2DM. However, T2DM is an independent risk factor for hospital mortality in any hospitalization for stroke
