Diabetes and hypertension are among the most common diseases in
developed countries and the frequency of both diseases tends to rise with age.
According to JNC 8 criteria, the target Blood pressure control among diabetes
patients is below 140/90 mmHg.
A hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out of 498 type 2
diabetic hypertensive patients who were attending hypertensive diabetic type 2
patients clinic at DRRH. The structured questionnaire was used to gather information
on social-demographic variables, Anthropometric measurements were measured and
bp was measured, retinopathy and proteinuria screening as well as symptoms for
neuropathy were performed.
The proportion of patients whose blood pressure was controlled with goal
range is 30.9%; the predictor of good blood pressure control were: Residing in urban
areas (OR= 5.85, 95% CI 3.88-6.98) and being unemployed (OR=2.01, 95% CI
1.27-3.64). The predictor of neuropathy was smoking (OR= 15.572, 95% CI 1.573-
154.191). The predictors of nephropathy were; Alcohol use (OR=2.294, 95% CI;
1.413-3.726) and the short period since being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (OR=
3.66; 95% CI; .417-8.399). The predictors of retinopathy were; Low education (OR=
5.687, 95% CI 1.708-18.929) and cigarette smoking both current and past smokers
(OR =5.062, 95% CI; 2.498-10.258 and OR 2.419, 95% CI; 1.379-4.244)
respectively.
The proportion of blood pressure control is very low, good predictors of
blood pressure control are the area of residence and occupational status. This study
has shown that there were some populations who had a higher risk of poor blood
pressure control and microvascular complications. |
