Abstract:

 غرض الدراسة هو تحديد نسبة انتشار ارتفاع و انخفاض السكر لدى المرضى الكبار المنومين بمستشفى جامعة الملك عبد العزيز بجدة و دراسة فاعلية استخدام الانسولين حسب سلم متدرج فى تجنب ارتفاع و انخفاض السكر . جمعت بيانات 280 مريض منوم بين 1/-7/5/2012 م و اتضح ان نسبة انتشار ارتفاع السكر لدى المرضى كام 39.3 % نسبة انتشار ارتفاع السكر الشيديد لدى مرضى السكر النوع الاول كان 38.5 % و لدى مرضي السكر النوع الثانى 17.6 % انخفاض السكر كان منتشرا اكثر لدى مرضى السكر النوع الاول (38.5 % ) مقارنة بمرضى السكر النوع الثانى (14.1 %) نوعية اسلوب الانسولين المستخدم لم يؤثر على نسبة انتشار ارتفاع او انخفاض السكر نسبة الانتشار العالية لارتفاع و انخفاض السكر لدى المرضى الكبار المنومين يستوجب مراجعة الاساليب المتبعة لضبط السكر بمستشفى جامعة الملك عبد العزيز .

 The objective of the study is to estimate the prevalence ofhyperglycemia and hypoglycemia in adult inpatients and to evaluate theuse of insulin sliding scale in preventing hyperglycemia andhypoglycemia. A cross-sectional study was performed between May 1-7, 2012 on adult inpatients at King Abdulaziz University Hospital,Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, documenting the patients’ blood glucose valuesand the method of blood glucose management. Data were collected andanalyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences and Excel.Of the 280 included inpatients, the overall prevalence of diabetes andhyperglycemia was 39.3%. For patients with type 1 diabetes, theprevalence of severe hyperglycemia was 38.5% versus 17.6% in thosewith type 2 diabetes (P-value = 0.0001). Hypoglycemia was moreprevalent among patients with type 1 diabetes (38.5%) compared topatients with type 2 diabetes (14.1%) (P-value = 0.0001). The type ofinsulin regimen used did not significantly affect the prevalence ofhyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. The high prevalence ofhyperglycemia and hypoglycemia among adult inpatients with diabetesand hyperglycemia indicates poor control of blood glucose levels,suggesting an urgent need to review the methods used in controllingblood glucose levels in inpatients at King Abdulaziz UniversityHospital.
