Treatment Outcome And Its Predictors Among Diabetic Patients Attending At Selected Hospitals Of Southern Ethiopia.

BackgroundDiabetes is one of the most serious health crises of the twenty-first century, with the World Health Organization (WHO) estimating that hyperglycemia is the third leading cause of early death globally, following high blood pressure and cigarette use. It is an important cause of blindness, kidney failure, lower limb amputation and other long-term consequences that impact significantly on quality of life. People get sick, die, and health care costs go up as a result. ObjectivesDiabetes mellitus treatment outcome and determinants in patients undergoing diabetes treatments in selected hospitals in southern Ethiopia, 2021. MethodsA source population included all diabetic patients who attended chosen hospitals in southern Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study with an institutional focus was conducted in a few hospitals in southern Ethiopia. A pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect information about the patient. Following data cleaning and error checking, the data was loaded into Epi-data to eliminate errors before being exported to SPSS for analysis. The descriptive data were presented using tables and graphics. The result variable was evaluated using a logistic regression model to uncover predictors once the underlying assumptions of the regression analysis were verified. All independent variables with p0.25 were considered for multivariate analysis. The level of significance was then set at p0.05, and the final model was AOR with 95% CL. Result277 (65.6%) of the whole sample had positive treatment outcomes. The existence of complication AOR 95%CI; 0.425 (0.217.832), and elevated fasting blood glucose AOR 95%CI; 0.080 (0.034, 0.188) were revealed to be independent predictors. Given the low size of treatment outcome, providing health information regarding sticking to prescribed medicine and monitoring fasting blood glucose level will result in a positive clinical outcome.
