ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of control status scale for diabetes (CSSD70), designed by diabetes center of Ruijin Hospital, in type 2 diabetes patients. Methods The correlations between CSSD70 and age, gender, duration of diabetes, educational backgrounds, insulin use, instruments for diabetes control, diabetes family history, symptoms at the onset of diabetes, complications, random plasma glucose and HbA_(1c) were analysed in 136 type 2 diabetes patients. The correlation between CSSD70 and another national questionnaires DQOL was analysed, and in order to determine the validity and stability of CSSD70, 30 patients were asked to complete the scales twice within one week. Results The coherent results in CSSD70 and DQOL were obtained, but CSSD70 was more comprehensive and sensitive. Almost all factors included in this study were related to CSSD70 total score and sub-scale score. The stability of CSSD70 was fine, and a close relationship between total score and sub-scale score was found. Conclusion The CSSD70 appears to be a good scale in evaluating the functional health status in type 2 diabetes, and is suitable for Chinese patients in evaluating diabetes control.
