Abstract
:
A study to determine how frequent microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus had been screened in diabetics admitted to the medical unit of King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia is reported. Medical charts of all diabetics admitted to the unit between January 1995 and November 1999 were studied, a total of 572 patients in all. On admission. 59% of them were asked about visual disturbances, and 45% were examined by an ophthalmologist. Glomerular filtration rate was measured in 36% of the patients with raised urea and creatinine. Forty-four per cent of the patients were asked about sensory disturbances, and 78% were examined neurologically. Hospitalised diabetic are poorly screened for microvascular complications. Quality of care may improve and length of hospital stay may be shortened with concurrent care by a physician-led team with expertise in diabetes, with the physician responsible for the patient's intercurrent illness.
