Abstract

Background: Hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a dangerous condition with an increasing prevalence, leading to numerous complications. Severe hypoglycemia, in particular, results in life-threatening complications, making early diagnosis and timely treatment critical. Objective: To determine the prevalence of severe hypoglycemia and its associated factors at Cai Nuoc General Hospital in 2024. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 266 patients with hypoglycemia at Cai Nuoc General Hospital in 2024. Data on epidemiology, medical history, and clinical characteristics were collected and analyzed using Stata 18.0 statistical software. Results: The prevalence of severe hypoglycemia was 31.58%. Logistic regression analysis identified factors such as male gender, insulin therapy, prolonged disease duration, and comorbidities as being associated with an increased risk of severe hypoglycemia, with adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of 1.96, 1.66, 2.18, and 2.21, respectively. Conversely, age <60 years and living with a spouse were associated with a reduced risk of severe hypoglycemia, with adjusted ORs of 0.49 and 0.48, respectively (all p < 0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of severe hypoglycemia remains high. Risk factors, particularly male gender, older age, living alone, insulin therapy, prolonged disease duration, and comorbidities, need to be controlled to minimize complications.
