Predictores para la insuficiencia renal crónica en pacientes diabéticos del Hospital General Doctor Liborio Panchana Sotomayor año 2024.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine which factors can be considered predictors of the development of chronic renal failure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated at the Dr. Liborio Panchana Sotomayor General Hospital. The type of study is applied with an observational, quantitative, retrospective and cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 152 representative patients, obtained by simple random sampling. Data collection was carried out through medical records and bivariate and multivariate logistic regression tests were used for analysis. Three variables were statistically significant: family history of RD at admission OR=3.685; p=0.0004, adherence to treatment OR=0.164; p=0.0029 and age OR=1.061; p=0.0181. It was confirmed that patients with family history have a risk 4 times higher, those with good adherence considerably decreased the probability of developing it, and age, a cumulative and progressive effect on the risk of renal disease. It was extremely necessary and important since it allowed us to consider these factors in order to be able to adapt a prioritized evaluation model in the clinic and preventive strategies for those diabetic patients most prone to develop it.
