| Sumario: | Aims. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence rate of concomitant pathology and its influence on leading causes of death in patients withtype 2 diabetes mellitus according to clinical charts and pathologist's reports. Materials and methods. We have studied the database of Moscow City Hospital №50 in order to pick out confirmed cases of type 2 DM, treated inthe period from 2006 to 2008 years (302 patients, 9,97%). Prevalence rate of concomitant pathology and leading causes of death were then carefullystudied on this ground. Results. We examined clinical charts of 302 patients with type 2 DM - 219 female (72.5%) at the age of 76 [70;80] and 83 male at theage of 75 [68;80]. Cardiovascular pathology and cerebrovascular disease (acute cerebrovascular event and/or postinfarction encephalic cysts,discirculatory encephalopathy) (50.66%) showed high prevalence. Respiratory system diseases (25.8%), excessive body weight and obesity (21.5%),gallstone disease (19.86%), malignant neoplasm (16.2%), prostatic hyperplasia (found in 35 male patients, 42.17%), gynecologic pathology (foundin 23 female patients, 10.5%) and infectious inflammatory diseases of kidneys and urinary tract (8.6%) were also disclosed. Leading causes of deathwere found to be acute cerebrovascular events (28.8%), postinfarction cardiosclerosis (23.18%), acute/recurring myocardium infarction (19.54%)and malignant neoplasm (14.57%). High polypathy prevalence was discovered in studied cohort, and in one third of cases patients perished fromcombination of concurrent diseases.Conclusion: High prevalence rate of intercurrent diseases and polymorbidity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus substantiate the need for thoroughexamination at different stages of medical care, treatment of existing malfunctions, as well as preventive measures against complications. |
