Abstract:
Objective To analyze the risk factors for drug-induced hypoglycemia in elderly diabetic patients,and to provide the basis for clinical prevention and treatment.Methods 78 cases with drug-induced hypoglycemia in elderly diabetic patients (observation group) and 256 elderly diabetic patients without drug-induced hypoglycemia(control group) were included,and the relative factors for drug-induced hypoglycemia were analyzed between the two groups.Results The stable rate of patient's condition was lower in observation group than in control group [38.5％ (30/78) vs.52.7％(135/256),x2 =4.872,P＜0.05].There were 9 cases (11.5％)、with alimentary control,28 cases (35.9％) treated with insulin and 41 cases (52.6％) treated with sulfonamide in observation group,and 89 cases (35.9％) with alimentary control,89 cases (34.8％) treated with insulin and 78 cases (30.4％) treated with sulfonamide in control group.The alimentary control was lower in observation group than in control group(x2 =15.557,P＜0.001).There was no difference in successful rate of insulin treatment between the two groups(x2 =0.034,P＞0.05).The successful rate of sulfonamide treatment was higher in observation group than in control group(x2 =12.726,P＜ 0.001).The age was older in observation group than in control group(t=2.494,P＜0.01).The body mass indexes and glycosylated hemoglobin level were lower in observation group than in control group(t=4.334 and 7.251,both P＜0.001).There were no differences in fasting blood-glucose and serum creatinine levels between the two groups(t=1.010 and 0.297,both P＞0.05).The course of diabetes was longer in observation group than in control group(t=2.579,P＜0.01).Conclusions The relative factors for drug-induced hypoglycemia in elderly diabetic patients include older age,longer course of diabetes,lower body mass index,lower fasting blood-glucose level,poorer glycemic control and higher dose of sulfonamide treatment.
