ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To analyze the characteristics of acute diabetic complications attended in a hospital emergency department. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Cross-sectional, descriptive, retrospective study of patients with hyper- and hypoglycemic emergencies attended in a tertiary-care university hospital emergency department. RESULTS: We included 237 patients with a mean (SD) age of 61 (26) years. Diabetes had been diagnosed previously in 86.5% (type 2 in 74% and type 1 in 26%). Hyperglycemic emergencies were treated in 72%. The most frequent reasons for decompensation were poor control of type 1 diabetes (41.2%) and infections in type 2 diabetes (51.5%). Twenty-eight percent had low blood sugar levels caused by poor control of disease (50%). Patients with hypoglycemia had shorter mean stays. More admissions were made in type 2 diabetes than in type 1. CONCLUSION: Type 2 diabetes leads to more visits to the emergency department, more admissions, and a longer hospital stay than type 1 diabetes.


OBJETIVO: Conocer las complicaciones agudas diabéticas atendidas en un servicio de urgencias hospitalario (SUH). METODO: Estudio descriptivo transversal retrospectivo, realizado en un SUH de un hospital universitario de tercer nivel asistencial de los pacientes diagnosticados de hiperglucemias e hipoglucemias durante el año 2012. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 237 pacientes con una edad media de 61 (± 26) años. El 86,5% presentaba diabetes: el 74% tipo 2 y el 26% tipo 1. Las hiperglucemias supusieron un 72%. Las causas de descompensación más frecuentes fueron el mal control en los diabéticos tipo 1 (41,2%) y las infecciones en los diabéticos tipo 2 (51,5%). Las hipoglucemias supusieron el 28%, producidas principalmente por mal control metabólico (50%). La estancia media fue menor que en las hiperglucemias. Los pacientes diabéticos tipo 2 tuvieron más ingresos que los tipo 1. CONCLUSIONES: Los diabéticos tipo 2 suponen una mayor frecuentación, mayor índice de ingresos y una estancia media mayor que los tipo 1.
