Análisis de pacientes con diabetes tipo 2 en un centro de salud urbano. Estudio DESENROQUE / Analysis of patients with type 2 diabetes in an urban Primary Healthcare centre. DESENROQUE Study

OBJETIVOS: Analizar el estado de salud de los pacientes con diabetes tipo 2 (DM2) en un centro de salud urbano y valorar el seguimiento realizado por parte de los profesionales sanitarios. Analizar las terapias farmacológicas en pacientes con DM2, así como valorar la individualización atendiendo a sus comorbilidades. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Análisis descriptivo y transversal de pacientes con DM2. De un total de 920 pacientes se obtuvo una muestra aleatorizada y simple de 460 individuos, de los cuales se recogieron los parámetros relacionados con las comorbilidades asociadas y el tratamiento integral de la DM2. RESULTADOS: Nos encontramos ante una muestra de 460 pacientes (42,4% mujeres) con una edad media de 67,1 años (DE=13,07). El valor medio de su última HbA1c fue 6,75% (DE=1,24). El 83,7% cumplía con los objetivos individualizados propuestos de HbA1c atendiendo a su edad y comorbilidades. El 65,43% de los pacientes contaba con un seguimiento subóptimo por parte de los profesionales sanitarios. Con respecto a la adecuación del tratamiento, el 19,8% contaba con asociaciones farmacológicas no recomendadas o fármacos aplicados fuera de ficha técnica. El 74,3% contaba con un tratamiento integral de la DM2 mejorable. CONCLUSIONES: Aunque el 83,7% de los pacientes presentaba un buen control de la HbA1c, el tratamiento es glucocéntrico y mejorable en un alto porcentaje de los pacientes (74,3%). Dado que la terapia debe ajustarse a las necesidades de cada paciente, y siendo el IMC un factor determinante para la selección del tratamiento, llama la atención que en el 44,13% de los pacientes no esté registrado en su historia clínica

OBJECTIVES: To determine the health status of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in an urban Primary Healthcare centre, and to assess the follow-up carried out by health professionals. To analyse the pharmacological treatment in patients with T2D, as well as to assess the individualisation according to their comorbidities. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Descriptive and cross-sectional analysis conducted on patients with DM2. Out of a total of 920 patients, a randomised and simple sample of 460 individuals was obtained, from which the parameters related to associated comorbidities and the integral treatment of T2D were collected. RESULTS: The study included 460 patients (42.4% women) with a mean age of 67.1 years (SD=13.07). The mean value of their last HbA1c was 6.75% (SD=1.24). The large majority (83.7%) fulfilled the proposed individualised HbA1c objectives according to their age and comorbidities. Approximately two-thirds (65.43%) of patients had a suboptimal follow-up by health professionals. As regards the suitability of the treatment, 19.8% had non-recommended pharmacological combinations or drugs applied outside the indications of the data sheet. A comprehensive T2D treatment that could be improved was observed in 74.3%. CONCLUSIONS: Although 83.7% of patients had good control of HbA1c, the treatment is centred on blood glucose and improvable in a high percentage of patients (74.3%). Given that the therapy must be adjusted to the needs of each patient, and since the BMI (body mass index) is a determining factor for the selection of treatment, it is striking that it is not recorded in the clinical histories of 44.13% of the patients
