EVALUATION OF NERVE INJURY SCORES IN THE FEET OF PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES AND RISK FACTORS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Determine the Neuropathy Disability Score (NDS) in patients with type 2 diabetes to have appropriate treatment. Subjects and Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study on 202 outpatients with type 2 diabetes who came for follow-up visits and hospitalized patients for 3 months from May 10 to September 9, 2022 at Nhat Tan hospital, Chau Doc city, An Giang province. Results: The proportion of people with NDS due to type 2 diabetes (T2DM) was 20.8%. Patients with chronic T2DM had a higher risk of NDS with OR=1.12 (95% CI, 1.06-1.18, p<0.001); the height contributed to increase NDS with OR=1.12 (CI 95%, 1.05-1.19; p <0.001); Hyperglycemia causes oxidative stress to damage neurons with OR=1.00 (KTC95%, 1.00-1.01, p < 0.05); The lower the weight, the lower the NDS was OR=0.91 (95% CI, 0.87 to 0.96, p<0.001); and HDL-Cholesterol contributed to the reduction in the NDS with OR=0.249 (95% CI, 0.09 to 0.63, p). <0.05). Conclusion: Chronic hyperglycemia can lead to circulatory, nervous and immune system disorders. It is necessary to recognize the NDSs early so that treatment can be taken to alleviate severe neurological complications that can cause disability to the patient.
