Abstract:
Objective To understand causes of death of diabetic inpatients and provide evidence for diabetic prevention and control. Methods Analysis of the death causes was carried out in the dead cases of diabetic inpatients in the First and Second Affiliated Hospital of Medical School,Xi'an Jiaotong University from 1991 to 2003.Results Numbers of dead diabetic inpatients of the two hospitals were 254,which accounted for 3.2% of the total dead inpatients;the main death causes of diabetic inpatients were diabetic chronic complications,taking up to 42.5% of all the causes(28.3% of cerebro-cardiovascular and 14.2% of diabetic renalfailure),tumor((20.1%)),infection(11.4%),acute complications(6.7%) amd hepaticcirrhosis(6.3%);in vascular complications,72 cases with hypertension(66.7%).Conclusion The chronic complications have been the main death cause of diabetes,and cerebro-cardiovascular diseases are most important death cause;Hypertension is the main risk factor which increases the mortality of diabetic vascular diseases.Therefore,strict control of both blood sugar and blood pressure is very important in decreasing the mortality of diabetic cerebro-cardiovascular diseases.
