ABSTRACT
Introdução: O Pé Diabético (PD) é a principal causa de amputações não traumáticas nos países ocidentais, causando morte ou incapacidade física e mental, má qualidade de vida e alto custo para a sociedade. Objetivo: Analisar a prevalência de DF e fatores de risco relacionados na população diabética residente no Estado do Espírito Santo, Brasil. Métodos: Estudo transversal, descritivo, com delineamento de série temporal, utilizando dados secundários de morbidade de indivíduos com DF residentes no Estado do Espírito Santo, cadastrados e acompanhados pelo Sistema de Cadastro e Acompanhamento de Hipertensos e Diabéticos. Resultados: Dos 64.196 diabéticos, 3,9% tinham DM tipo 1, 10,9% DM tipo 2 e 85,2% eram hipertensos. A prevalência de DF foi de 2,9% no DM tipo 1, 3,3% no DM tipo 2 e 4,5% no DM com hipertensão. Maiores taxas de DF foram observadas no sexo masculino, com idade acima de 60 anos no DM tipo 1 e tipo 2, e até 19 anos no DM com hipertensão, tabagismo, sedentarismo, Infarto Agudo do Miocárdio (IAM), AVC e Doença Renal Crônica (DRC) ). Nos indivíduos com excesso de peso, a prevalência de DF foi maior apenas no DM tipo 1. Houve associação significativa em todas as variáveis exceto sobrepeso em ambos os tipos de DM, sedentarismo e acidente vascular cerebral no DM tipo 1. Conclusão: Os achados mostraram importantes prevalências de DF, com maior concentração em homens com mais de 60 anos, sobre tabagismo, sedentarismo, IAM, AVC e DRC, com associação estatística significativa nas variáveis analisadas, com exceção do excesso de peso em ambos os tipos de DM, como bem como sedentarismo e acidente vascular cerebral no DM tipo 1.
Introduction: Diabetic Foot (DF) is the leading cause of non-traumatic amputations in Western countries, causing death or physical and mental disability, poor quality of life and high cost to society. Objetive: To analyze the prevalence of DF and related risk factors in the diabetic population residing in Espírito Santo State, Brazil. Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive study with time series design, using secondary data on morbidity of individuals with DF living in the State of Espírito Santo, registered and followed by the Hypertensive and Diabetic Registration and Monitoring System. Results: From 64,196 diabetic patients, 3.9% had Type 1 DM, 10.9% Type 2 DM and 85.2% had hypertension. The prevalence of DF was 2.9% in type 1 DM, 3.3% in type 2 DM and 4.5% in DM with hypertension. Higher rates of DF were observed in males, aged over 60 years in type 1 and type 2 DM, and up to 19 years in DM with hypertension, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI), stroke and Cronic Kidney disease (CKD). In overweight individuals, the prevalence of DF was higher only in type 1 DM. There was a significant association in all variables except overweight in both types of DM, sedentary lifestyle and stroke in type 1 DM. Conclusion: Findings showed important prevalence of DF, with higher concentration in men older than 60 years, on smoking, sedentary lifestyle, AMI, stroke and CKD, with significant statistical association in the analized variables, except for overweight in both types of DM, as well as sedentary lifestyle and stroke in type 1 DM.
ABSTRACT
Background and objectives: Diabetes mellitus (DM) stands out among the most important public health problems worldwide since it represents a high burden on health systems and is associated with higher hospitalization rates, and a higher incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Amputations are among the most common complications, leading to disability and increasing care costs. This research aims to analyze the prevalence of DM-related amputations, comorbidities and associated risk factors in the diabetic population residing in the State of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Materials and Methods: This is a quantitative, exploratory, cross-sectional study with a time series design and the use of secondary data registered and followed by the system of Registration and Monitoring of Hypertension and Diabetes-SisHiperdia. Results: The sample consisted of 64,196 diabetic patients, out of them, 3.9% had type 1 DM, 10.9% with type 2 DM, and 85.2% with DM coexisting with hypertension. Most were female (66.6%), aged 40 to 59 years (45.6%), and 60 years and older (45.2%). The prevalence of DM-related amputations in the analyzed sample was 1.2% in type 1 DM, 1.5% in type 2 DM, and 2.2% in concomitant DM and hypertension. Higher amputation rates were observed in males in the age group above 60 years in type 1 DM and type 2 DM and were slightly higher in the age groups up to 29 years in DM with hypertension. A higher prevalence of amputation was related to smoking, physical inactivity, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), stroke, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and diabetic foot (DF) in all types of DM. Conclusions: The present study showed a significant prevalence of DM-related amputations. An increased prevalence was evidenced when correlated with smoking, physical inactivity, AMI, stroke, CKD, and DF with significant statistical associations, except for a sedentary lifestyle in type 1 DM.
