Las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles se han convertido en un problema mundial debido a los altos índices de morbilidad y mortalidad, derivadas de estilos de vida inadecuados que incluyen una falta de una percepción y bajo conocimiento de estos padecimientos. Objetivo: Establecerla relación entre la percepción y el conocimiento de Diabetes Tipo 2 y el Riesgo de Diabesidad en adultos de Puebla. Metodología: Cuantitativo con diseño descriptivo, correlacional y de alcance transversal, se incluyeron personas de 20 a 65 pertenecientes al Centro de Salud de Almecatla, Puebla. Se excluyeron a las personas que hablen lengua indígena y mujeres embarazadas. El cálculo de la muestra fue de 182 personas. Se utilizó el instrumento DKQ-24 y Percepción de Riesgo de Diabetes, una cédula de datos socio demográfica y consentimiento informado. Análisis y resultados: El 78% fueron mujeres, con promedio de edad de 58.8 años, glicemia capilar 163.8, hemoglobina glucosilada 8.6, 88.5% tienen conocimiento de DT2 adecuado y el 50.5% una percepción de riesgo de DT2 alto. Existe una relación positiva y significativa entre el conocimiento y la percepción de riesgo de DT2 (p<05).Conclusión: Existe una correlación positiva significativa entre el conocimiento de DT2 y la percepción de riesgo de DT2. Existen indicadores corporales y bioquímicos que sugieren el aumento del riesgo de Diabesidad, a pesar de la asistencia al centro de salud no se refleja el control de las patologías, por tal motivo persisten los niveles de morbi-mortalidad.

Introduction: Chronic non-communicable diseases have become a global problem due to high morbidity and mortality rates, derived from inadequate lifestyles that include a lack of perception and low knowledge of these conditions. Objective: To stablish the relation between perception and knowledge of Type 2 Diabetes and the Risk of Diabesity in adults from Puebla. Method: Quantitative with a descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional design, including people from 20 to 65 belonging to the Almecatla Health Center, Puebla. People who spoke an indigenous language and pregnant women were excluded. The calculation of the sample was 182 people. The DKQ-24 instrument and Diabetes Risk Perception, a socio-demographic data card and informed consent were acquired. Analysis and results: 78% were women, with an average age of 58.8 years, capillary glycemia 163.8, glycosylated hemoglobin 8.6, 88.5% have adequate knowledge of T2D and 50.5% a perception of high T2D risk. There is a positive and significant relationship between knowledge and perception of T2D risk (p<05).Conclusion: There is a significant positive correlation between the knowledge of T2D and the perception of T2D risk. There are bodily and biochemical indicators that suggest the increased risk of Diabesity, despite the attendance at the health center, the control of the pathologies is not reflected, for this reason the levels of morbidity and mortality persist.

Relación entre índice cintura cadera, índice cintura talla y la Escala FINDRISC en adultos de Guatemala / Relationship between waist-hip index, waist-height index and the FINDRISC Scale in adults from Guatemala

La diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) es una amenaza para la salud por las complicaciones derivadas de un diagnóstico tardío, donde la identificación oportuna es primordial. Con el objetivo de establecer la relación entre índice cintura talla (ICT), índice cintura cadera (ICC) y puntaje de la escala FINDRISC (Finnish Diabetes Risk Score) como determinantes del riesgo de padecer DM2 a largo plazo, se realizó este estudio predictivo transversal con adultos de 18 y 60 años atendidos en el Centro de Salud Primero de Julio del municipio de Mixco, Guatemala. Participaron 80 adultos, seleccionados por un muestreo aleatorio simple. El instrumento de recolección de datos estuvo conformado por tres secciones: información general de la persona, parámetros antropométricos y la encuesta de FINDRISC. Se generaron modelos lineales generalizados para identificar relaciones entre índice cintura talla (ICT), índice cintura cadera (ICC) y puntaje de la escala FINDRISC (Finnish Diabetes Risk Score). El 36.2% presentó riesgo de desarrollar DM2 a largo plazo; encontrándose un 21.2% en el nivel de riesgo alto y muy alto. Se comprobó que únicamente existe relación significativa entre el ICT y el puntaje de la escala de FINDRISC como determinante del riesgo de padecer DM2 a largo plazo. Se concluye que la implementación de la medición del ICT constituye una herramienta útil para identificar personas con riesgo de desarrollar DM2, siendo su aplicación sencilla, no invasiva, económica y de fácil acceso en los servicios de salud.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a health threat due to the complications derived from a late diagnosis, where timely identification is essential. This study aimed to establish the relationship between waist-height index (WHR), waist-hip index (WHR) and the FINDRISC (Finnish Diabetes Risk Score)scale as determinants of the risk of suffering from T2DM in the long term. A cross-sectional predictive study was carried out with a simple random sample of 80 adults between 18 and 60 years old treated at the Primero de Julio Health Center in Mixco, Guatemala. The data collection instrument was structured into three sections: general information, anthropometric parameters and the FINDRISC survey. Generalized linear models were generated to identify relationships between waist-height ratio (WHR), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and the FINDRISC scale score (Finish Diabetes Risk Score). The results shows that 36.2% of the participants were at risk of developing T2DM in the long term; 21.2% being at the high and very high risk level. It was found that there is only a significant relationship between the WHR and the FINDRISC scale score as a determinant of the risk of suffering from T2DM in the long term. The implementation of the waist height index measurement constitutes a useful tool to identify people at risk of developing T2DM, its application being simple, non-invasive, economical and easily accessible in health services.

Targeting metabolic-associated fatty liver disease in diabetic kidney disease: A call to action.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease or metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a common condicion with increasing prevalence and incidence, specially in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Both cardiovascular and renal disease are clearly increased in these patients, particularly in those with diabetic nephropathy. In the liver-heart-kidney-metabolic axis, the common pathophysiological basis of MAFLD, cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and T2DM is the same. The clinical relationship between all of them is clear and is multidirectional: MAFLD may precede the development of cardiovascular and renal disease, and may also worsen the prognosis of these complications once developed. In this review we emphasize the importance of targeting MAFLD in Diabetic kidney disease, with the goal of detecting high-risk patients in order to improve their prognosis.

Educational intervention on perceived stress among adults with type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome: a non-randomized clinical trial / Intervención educativa sobre el estrés percibido en adultos con diabetes tipo 2 y síndrome metabólico: ensayo clínico no aleatorizado / Intervenção educativa sobre o estresse percebido de adultos com diabetes tipo 2 e síndrome metabólica: ensaio clínico não-randomizado

Objective.To assess the effectiveness of an educational intervention on perceived stress and metabolic syndrome parameters among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method. Fifty-one adults (aged 48.73±7.84; 86.3% of women) were included in a non-randomized clinical trial performed in a healthcare unit for six months (Brazilian Clinical Trial Registry: RBR-43K52N). All participants were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome (intervention group, n=26; control group, n=25). The intervention consisted of a nurse-led educational health-promoting program with a multidisciplinary approach organized in seven workshops. The primary outcome was decreased perceived stress, and the secondary outcome was improvement in metabolic syndrome parameters according to perceived stress levels. These outcomes were assessed at two points in time, at the baseline and follow-up. Results. Participation in the intervention program resulted in a significant decrease in perceived stress (p=0.028). The stressed participants in the intervention group experienced a significant decrease in blood glucose levels (p=0.001) and a significant increase in high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (p=0.003) concentrations after the six-month intervention. Conclusion.The nurse-led educational health-promoting program decreased perceived stress among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome, improving fasting blood glucose and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol among the stressed participants in the intervention group.

Probable interacción farmacológica entre sulfonilurea y betabloqueante en paciente con DM-II. Un reporte de caso / Probable pharmacological interaction between sulfonylurea and beta blocker in patients with DM-II. A case report

El estudio presenta el caso de una mujer de 47 años con diabetes tipo 2 (DM-II), hipertensión y anemia, tratada con metformina, glibenclamida, metoprolol y hierro/ácido fólico. Se identificó una interacción farmacológica entre glibenclamida y metoprolol, causando síntomas de hipoglucemia por la tarde. La evaluación mediante la Escala de Probabilidad de Interacciones Farmacológicas (EPIF) de Horn sugirió una interacción probable. El análisis farmacocinético reveló que el tiempo en el cual se alcanzan las concentraciones máximas de ambos fármacos coincidía con el inicio de los síntomas. Se implementó un nuevo horario de medicación que resolvió los síntomas. La interacción farmacológica se atribuyó al bloqueo de los efectos adrenérgicos por el metoprolol, comprometiendo la capacidad de contrarrestar la acción de la insulina liberada por la glibenclamida. Se resalta la importancia de la vigilancia, la toma de decisiones informadas y la implementación de estrategias preventivas para garantizar la seguridad y eficacia del tratamiento farmacológico en pacientes con condiciones clínicas específicas, como la DM-II y enfermedades cardiovasculares concomitantes.(AU)

Esteatosis hepática metabólica y nefropatía diabética: una llamada a la acción / Targeting metabolic-associated fatty liver disease in diabetic kidney disease: A call to action

La incidencia y la prevalencia de hígado graso no alcohólico o enfermedad hepática metabólica (EHmet) está en aumento y es mayor en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2). El riesgo cardiovascular y renal está claramente incrementado en estos pacientes, especialmente cuando se desarrolla nefropatía diabética. El eje cardio-reno-hepato-metabólico, conformado por la enfermedad cardiovascular (ECV), la enfermedad renal crónica (ERC), la EHmet y la DM2, tiene una base fisiopatogénica común. La relación clínica entre todos los componentes es inevitable y multidireccional, pudiendo la EHmet preceder al desarrollo de complicaciones cardiovasculares y renales, y también empeorar el pronóstico de las mismas una vez desarrolladas. En esta revisión enfatizamos la importancia de buscar y tratar la EHmet en pacientes con ERC y DM2 con el objetivo de identificar pacientes de mayor riesgo y de mejorar su pronóstico.(AU)

[Evaluation of healthcare for patients with diabetes in primary care: A systematic review]. / Evaluación de la asistencia sanitaria del paciente con diabetes en atención primaria: una revisión sistemática.

OBJECTIVE: Have the most current evidence in relation to the evaluation of medical healthcare for patients with diabetes in primary care. METHOD: During the review process, we followed the recommendations to improve the publication of systematic reviews and meta-analyses and the preferred reporting points for PRISMA systematic reviews. The bibliographic search was carried out in Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), SCOPUS, Scielo, MedLine/ PubMed, Cochrane databases and in the Google Scholar search engine, with free and controlled language, using the MeSh search terms: «Physicians, Primary Care¼, «Diabetes Mellitus, Type2¼. Eight selected articles were analyzed. The articles were selected based on their relevance, published in peer-reviewed academic journals and published between 2019 and 2023. RESULTS: The main study tool represents interventions in knowledge and practice about the care of patients with diabetes among primary care physicians. The most important discussion topics extracted in the analyzed articles refer to knowledge, clinical inertia, patients' housing challenges, adherence intervention programs, and a self-care application for patients with diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study indicate the need to improve medical health care through knowledge, attitudes and practices in primary care regarding patients with diabetes. In this way, it could be considered a useful tool to promote medical healthcare in primary care.

Risk factors associated with glomerular filtration rate in Mexican adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

INTRODUCTION: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is related to glomerular filtration rate (GFR) impairment, which is one of the main causes of chronic kidney disease. The objective of this study was to identify the risk factors related to GFR in Mexican adults with T2DM, using a validated multiple linear regression model (MLRM), with emphasis in body adiposity, glycemic control, duration of the diabetes and other relevant risk factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional, analytical, and observational study was carried out in 252 adults with a previous diagnosis of T2DM. Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) were determined and a fasting blood sample was collected for glucose, creatinine and HbA1c determinations. GFR was calculated with the Cockcroft-Gault equation adjusted for body surface area. Four MLRM were performed to determine the factors related to the GFR; it was evaluated whether these models complied with the statistical assumptions of the linear regression model. RESULTS: The average age of the participants was 60 ±â€¯12 years, 62.3% of them were women. GFR correlated with BMI and WC; age and duration of the diabetes were associated inversely. Model 4 of the MLRM reported a coefficient of determination of 53.5% where the variables BMI (ß = 1.31), male sex (ß = -6.01), duration of T2DM (ß = -0.57), arterial hypertension (ß = -6.53) and age (ß = -1.45) were simultaneously and significantly related to the GFR. CONCLUSIONS: Older age, male sex, longer duration of T2DM and the presence of arterial hypertension were associated with a decrease in the GFR; BMI and WC were directly associated. No effect of glucose and HbA1c on GFR was observed.

Validez y fiabilidad del cuestionario ARMS-e en pacientes con Diabetes mellitus tipo 2 / Validity and reliability of the ARMS-e questionnaire in patients with type 2 Diabetes mellitus

Introducción: El cuestionario “Adherence to Refills and Medications Scale” (ARMS) se diseñó para medir adherencia al tratamiento. Fue traducido y adaptado al español, pero no se han evaluado sus propiedades psicométricas. El objetivo fue evaluar dichas propiedades en una población con diabetes mellitus tipo 2. Método: El estudio se llevó a cabo en farmacias comunitarias de Granada (España) mediante entrevista. Se realizó un análisis factorial de componentes principales (AFCP) con rotación Varimax (validez de constructo), un análisis de concordancia (validez de criterio concurrente y fiabilidad por estabilidad temporal) y alfa de Cronbach y correlación ítem-total (fiabilidad por homogeneidad). Resultados: 107 pacientes entraron en el estudio. El 54,2 % (58) fueron hombres y la edad media fue 70,5 años (D.E.: 9,7). El AFCP extrajo 4 factores que explicaron el 57,49 % de la varianza total. El alfa de Cronbach= 0,428 y el test-retest κ= 0,627 (p > 0,001). Conclusiones: El ARMS-e no puede ser considerado una herramienta útil para medir la adherencia al tratamiento antidiabético oral en esta muestra. (AU)

Introduction: The Adherence to Refills and Medications Scale questionnaire (ARMS) was designed to measure ad-herence to treatment. It was translated and adapted into Spanish, but its psychometric properties have not been evaluated. The aim was to evaluate these properties in a population with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method: The study was carried out in community pharmacies in Granada (Spain) by interview. A principal compo-nent factor analysis (PCA) with Varimax rotation (construct validity), a concordance analysis (concurrent criterion validity and reliability by temporal stability) and Cronbach’s alpha and item-total correlation (reliability by homo-geneity) were performed. Results: 107 patients entered the study. 54.2 % (58) were male and the mean age was 70.5 (SD: 9.7). The PCA extract-ed 4 factors that explained 57.49 % of the total variance. Cronbach’s alpha= 0.428, and in the test-retest κ= 0.627 (p > 0.001). Conclusions: The ARMS-e cannot be considered a useful tool to measure adherence to oral antidiabetic treatment in this sample.

[Association between therapeutic adherence and phases of grief in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus]. / Asociación entre la adherencia terapéutica y las fases de duelo en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between therapeutic adherence and the phases of grief in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. DESIGN: Cross-sectional observational study. SITE: Family Medicine Unit No. 53 of the Mexican Institute of Social Security in the State of Guanajuato. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 354 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited, of whom 236 corresponded to the group without therapeutic adherence and 118 to the group with therapeutic adherence. INTERVENTIONS: Two structured surveys were administered to both groups. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: The Morisky 8 scale was used to measure therapeutic adherence and the phases of grief scale (EFD-66) to measure grief due to loss of health. RESULTS: The median denial phase and depression phase scores were higher in the nonadherence group than in the adherence group (p=.000). The median negotiation phase and acceptance phase score was higher in the adherence group than in the nonadherence group (p=.000). Multivariate analysis identifies that denial is the main factor associated with non-adherence (OR=1.25; 95% CI: 1.14-1.37); while negotiation (OR=0.88; 95% CI: 0.82-0.94) and acceptance are associated with adherence (OR=0.79; 95% CI: 0.75-0.83). CONCLUSIONS: There is an association between therapeutic adherence and phases of grief.

Dairy product consumption and type 2 diabetes in an Argentinian population:is there an association? / Consumo de productos lácteos y diabetes tipo 2 en una población argentina: ¿existe asociación?

Introduction: dairy products have long been recommended as part of a healthy eating plan, but there is a controversial opinion about whetheror not they should be included in the diet of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D).Objective: the aim of this study was to know if there is an association between the intake of total dairy and dairy subgroups and the chance ofhaving T2D, and the status of markers of glucose metabolism.Methods: three hundred and forty-two adult subjects participated in the study. A validated food-frequency questionnaire was applied to establishthe dairy intake. Clinical-pathological and anthropometric variables (height, weight, waist circumference and serum concentrations of blood glucose,glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c], high sensitive C-reactive protein [hs-CRP], tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNFα], interleukin [IL] 6 and IL-10) weremeasured. Consumption tertiles were calculated for each dairy subgroup. Correlation coefficients, multiple linear regression models and logisticregression models were used to assess the relation between dairy product consumption and markers of glucose metabolism.Results: a negative correlation was observed between the consumption of fermented dairy products and IL-10 (r = -0.27, p = 0.0206). Fermenteddairy products were inversely associated with blood glucose, and HbA1c. Total dairy intake was positively associated with a lower chance ofhaving diabetes in tertiles 2 and 3 of consumption, in relation to the reference tertile, adjusted for age, smoking habit, and alcohol intake, bodymass index (BMI) and dietary variables.Conclusions: with this study, we broaden our understanding of the role of dairy intake in diabetes risk. However, more long-term studies areneeded to confirm the associations and explore different confounding factors.(AU)

Introducción: los lácteos se han recomendado durante mucho tiempo como parte de un plan de alimentación saludable, pero existen opinionescontrovertidas sobre si deben incluirse en la dieta de las personas con diabetes tipo 2 (DT2).Objetivo: el objetivo fue conocer si existe asociación entre la ingesta de lácteos totales y subgrupos lácteos y la posibilidad de tener DT2, y elestado de los marcadores del metabolismo de la glucosa.Métodos: participaron 342 sujetos adultos. Se aplicó un cuestionario de frecuencia de consumo para establecer el consumo de lácteos. Semidieron variables clínicas-patológicas y antropométricas (talla, peso, circunferencia de cintura y concentraciones séricas de glucosa en sangre,hemoglobina glicosilada [HbA1c], proteína C reactiva ultrasensible [PCR-us], factor de necrosis tumoral alfa [TNFα], interleuquina [IL] 6 e IL-10).Se calcularon terciles de consumo para cada subgrupo de lácteos. Se utilizaron coeficientes de correlación, modelos de regresión lineal múltipley regresión logística para evaluar la relación entre el consumo de lácteos y los marcadores del metabolismo de la glucosa.Resultados: los productos lácteos fermentados se asociaron inversamente con la glucosa en sangre y la HbA1c. La ingesta total de lácteos seasoció positivamente con una menor probabilidad de tener diabetes en los terciles 2 y 3 de consumo, en comparación con el tercil de referencia,ajustado por edad, tabaquismo, ingesta de alcohol, índice de masa corporal (IMC) y variables dietéticas.Conclusiones: con este estudio, ampliamos nuestra comprensión del papel de la ingesta de lácteos en el riesgo de diabetes. Sin embargo, senecesitan más estudios a largo plazo para confirmar las asociaciones y explorar diferentes factores de confusión.(AU)

Thrombotic risk assessed by PAI-1 in patients with COVID-19: The influence of hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus.

OBJECTIVE: To assess thrombotic risk with PAI-1 levels in patients with COVID-19, to evaluate PAI-1 differences between hyperglycemic and/or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) versus non-hyperglycemic patients, and to analyze the association of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) with hyperglycemia and T2DM. METHODS: A cross-sectional study carried out in 181 patients hospitalized for COVID-19. Two groups were formed: the patients with hyperglycemia at admission and/or previously diagnosed T2DM group and the non-hyperglycemic group. Fibrinolysis was assessed by measuring PAI-1 levels by ELISA. RESULTS: The mean age was 59.4±16.1 years; 55.8% were male 54.1% of patients presented obesity, 38.1% had pre-existing T2DM and 50.8% had admission hyperglycemia and/or pre-existing T2DM. The patients with admission hyperglycemia and/or preexisting T2DM had higher PAI-1 compared with non-hyperglycemic patients [197.5 (128.8-315.9) vs 158.1 (113.4-201.4) ng/mL; p=0.031]. The glucose levels showed a positive correlation with PAI-1 levels (r=0.284, p=0.041). A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed association of PAI-1 level and hyperglycemia and pre-existing T2DM with severity of COVID-19. CONCLUSION: Patients hospitalized for COVID-19 infection with preexisting T2DM or hyperglycemia detected during their hospitalization presented a greater increase in PAI-1 levels, which suggests that hyperglycemia contributes directly to the hypercoagulable state and probably a worse outcome from the patients.

Clinical-pathological and anthropometric variables (height, weight, waist circumference and serum concentrations of blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c], high sensitive C-reactive protein [hs-CRP], tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNFα], interleukin [IL] 6 and IL-10) were measured. Consumption tertiles were calculated for each dairy subgroup. Correlation coefficients, multiple linear regression models and logistic regression models were used to assess the relation between dairy product consumption and markers of glucose metabolism. Results: a negative correlation was observed between the consumption of fermented dairy products and IL-10 (r = -0.27, p = 0.0206). Fermented dairy products were inversely associated with blood glucose, and HbA1c. Total dairy intake was positively associated with a lower chance of having diabetes in tertiles 2 and 3 of consumption, in relation to the reference tertile, adjusted for age, smoking habit, and alcohol intake, body mass index (BMI) and dietary variables. Conclusions: with this study, we broaden our understanding of the role of dairy intake in diabetes risk. However, more long-term studies are needed to confirm the associations and explore different confounding factors.

Introducción: Introducción: los lácteos se han recomendado durante mucho tiempo como parte de un plan de alimentación saludable, pero existen opiniones controvertidas sobre si deben incluirse en la dieta de las personas con diabetes tipo 2 (DT2). Objetivo: el objetivo fue conocer si existe asociación entre la ingesta de lácteos totales y subgrupos lácteos y la posibilidad de tener DT2, y el estado de los marcadores del metabolismo de la glucosa. Métodos: participaron 342 sujetos adultos. Se aplicó un cuestionario de frecuencia de consumo para establecer el consumo de lácteos. Se midieron variables clínicas-patológicas y antropométricas (talla, peso, circunferencia de cintura y concentraciones séricas de glucosa en sangre, hemoglobina glicosilada [HbA1c], proteína C reactiva ultrasensible [PCR-us], factor de necrosis tumoral alfa [TNFα], interleuquina [IL] 6 e IL-10). Se calcularon terciles de consumo para cada subgrupo de lácteos. Se utilizaron coeficientes de correlación, modelos de regresión lineal múltiple y regresión logística para evaluar la relación entre el consumo de lácteos y los marcadores del metabolismo de la glucosa. Resultados: los productos lácteos fermentados se asociaron inversamente con la glucosa en sangre y la HbA1c. La ingesta total de lácteos se asoció positivamente con una menor probabilidad de tener diabetes en los terciles 2 y 3 de consumo, en comparación con el tercil de referencia, ajustado por edad, tabaquismo, ingesta de alcohol, índice de masa corporal (IMC) y variables dietéticas. Conclusiones: con este estudio, ampliamos nuestra comprensión del papel de la ingesta de lácteos en el riesgo de diabetes. Sin embargo, se necesitan más estudios a largo plazo para confirmar las asociaciones y explorar diferentes factores de confusión.

Diabetes y apnea obstructiva del sueño. Un estudio de casos y controles / Diabetes and obstructive sleep apnoea: A case-control study

Introducción La apnea obstructiva del sueño (AOS) y la diabetes mellitus (DM) son enfermedades muy prevalentes frecuentemente asociadas. Su coexistencia se asocia de forma independiente con un aumento de la prevalencia de comorbilidades cardiovasculares. Al existir un infradiagnóstico de esta asociación, es necesario optimizar la sospecha clínica mediante el estudio de predictores independientes de DM o de prediabetes (preDM) en pacientes con AOS. Método Estudio de casos y controles, seleccionados de manera aleatoria simple y emparejados por sexo, índice de masa corporal (IMC) y edad, que pretende estudiar la asociación de la AOS con la DM y la preDM e identificar factores predictores independientes para ambas enfermedades, en las personas con AOS. Resultados Incluimos 208 casos con AOS y 208 controles, sin AOS. En los primeros, el 18,8% tenían DM, por solo el 10,1% en los segundos (p=0,00). La prevalencia de preDM fue del 41,8% vs el 10,6%, respectivamente (p=0,00). Ciento veinticuatro casos (59,6%) refirieron excesiva somnolencia diurna (ESD) (escala Epworth, 10,5±3,1) vs el 24,5% del grupo control (escala Epworth, 6,6±2,9). El índice de apnea-hipopnea (IAH) y los índices de desaturación de O2 (IDO, CT90 y CT80) fueron significativamente mayores en el grupo de casos. El riesgo de presentar DM se relacionó con la edad, la hipoxemia nocturna y la ESD. El riesgo de presentar preDM, con el IMC y con el IAH. Conclusiones La AOS se asocia a la DM y a la preDM. La edad, la hipoxemia nocturna y la ESD son predictores de DM. El IMC y el IAH lo son de la preDM. (AU)

Introduction Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are very prevalent diseases frequently associated. Their coexistence is independently associated with an increased prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities. As this association is underdiagnosed, it is necessary to optimise clinical suspicion by studying independent predictors of DM or prediabetes (preDM) in patients with OSA. Method A simple randomised case-control study, matched for sex, body mass index (BMI) and age, aimed to study the association of OSA with DM and preDM and to identify independent predictors for both diseases in people with OSA. Results We included 208 cases with OSA and 208 controls without OSA. In the former, 18.8% had DM compared to only 10.1% in the latter (P=.00). Prevalence of preDM was 41.8% vs. 10.6%, respectively (P=.00). One hundred and twenty-four cases (59.6%) reported excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) (Epworth scale, 10.5±3.1) vs. 24.5% of the control group (Epworth scale, 6.6±2.9). Apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) and O2 desaturation indices (IDO, CT90 and CT80) were significantly higher in the case group. The risk of MD was related to age, nocturnal hypoxaemia and EDS. The risk of pre-MD was related to BMI and AHI. Conclusions OSA is associated with DM and preDM. Age, nocturnal hypoxaemia and EDS are predictors of DM. BMI and AHI are predictors of pre-MD. (AU)

Estimación del riesgo cardiovascular en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2

Introducción: Las personas diabéticas tienen entre dos y tres veces más riesgo de morbilidad y mortalidad cardiovascular que aquellas que no padecen la enfermedad. Objetivo: Estimar el riesgo cardiovascular en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 atendidos en un Área de Salud. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y trasversal de 103 pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2, pertenecientes al Consultorio Médico de la Familia No. 23 del policlínico Carlos J Finlay, municipio Songo-La Maya en la provincia Santiago de Cuba, desde enero hasta diciembre de 2023. Se estudiaron variables cualitativas y cuantitativas (edad, año de diagnóstico y duración de la enfermedad); se estimó el riesgo cardiovascular según el modelo para la predicción del riesgo en personas con diabetes tipo 2. Resultados: Se observó predominio del sexo femenino (58,3 %). La mayoría de los pacientes tenían hipertensión arterial (76 %) y microalbuminuria (31,2 %). La edad media de los pacientes fue de 65,5 años y como promedio tenían un tiempo de evolución de la diabetes de 8,6 años. La evaluación del riesgo cardiovascular ubicó a 43,3 % de la población en un nivel moderado y 25,7 % con alto riesgo. Conclusiones: Los pacientes diabéticos estudiados mostraron un riesgo de moderado a alto de presentar eventos cardiovasculares. Se hace necesario realizar intervenciones educativas en estos pacientes y sus familiares para lograr cambios favorables en los estilos de vida y mejorar el control de la enfermedad, previniendo así complicaciones y la ocurrencia de eventos fatales en los próximos años.

Introduction: Diabetic people have between two and three times more risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality than those who do not suffer from the disease. Objective: To estimate cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated in a Health Area. Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out on 103 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, belonging to the Family Medical Office No. 23 of the Carlos J. Finlay polyclinic, Songo-La Maya municipality, Santiago de Cuba province, from January to December 2023. Qualitative variables and quantitative (age, year of diagnosis and duration of the disease) were studied; Cardiovascular risk was estimated according to the model for predicting cardiovascular risk in people with type 2 diabetes. Results: A predominance of the female sex was observed (58.3%). Most patients had arterial hypertension (76.0%) and microalbuminuria (31.2%). The average age of the patients was 65.5 years and on average they had a duration of diabetes of 8.6 years. The cardiovascular risk evaluation placed 43.3% of the population at a moderate level and 25.7% at high risk. Conclusions: The diabetic patients studied showed a moderate to high risk of presenting cardiovascular events. It is necessary to carry out educational interventions in these patients and their families to achieve favorable changes in lifestyles and improve disease control, thus preventing complications and the occurrence of fatal events in the coming years.

Introduction: The use of mHealth can improve adherence to self-monitoring blood Glucose (SMBG) in the transition from hospital to outpatient setting. Objective: To evaluate adherence to self-monitoring with GC in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) linked to an mHealth user education program (ClouDi) compared with the usual face-to-face education and follow-up program. Materials and Methods: Prospective longitudinal study. Patients with T2D assessed by diabetes education counseling with an indication for insulin treatment at hospital discharge were analyzed. Two groups were analyzed: one with face-to-face follow-up and another linked to an educational program and use of ClouDi. Results: Of the 86 patients (44% female, 41 ClouDi users, mean age 58.8 ± 11.2 years, with a mean duration of diabetes of 7.8 ± 7.4 years), 53.6% were in stratum 2, 92.9% belonged to the contributory system, 42.9% with basic pri-mary education and 51.2% were employed. Compliance with the SMBG was considered if 3 or more measurements per day were taken and recorded, was higher in ClouDi patients com-pared to usual care patients (64.4% vs. 28.2%, p <0.001), independent of sociodemographic variables.Conclusions: The use of ClouDi was associated with greater adherence to SMBG compared to in-person follow-up, independent of sociodemographic variables. The use of this technology may be useful in monitoring insulin-using patients after hospital discharge
