Item type:Publication, Diabetes-Related Mortality in a Developing Country: An Exploration of Tertiary Hospital Data(MDPI AG, 2023-10); ; ; ; (1) Background: Given the growing global diabetes crisis, this study examined the causes of mortality in diabetic patients at a Mongolian tertiary care hospital. (2) Between 2017 and 2021, data from 100 individuals with diabetes (53% male, mean age 58.5 years, duration of diabetes, 9.6 years, HbA1c level, 9.7%, 11.1% type 1 diabetes) were reviewed. (3) Results: The predominant cause of mortality was sepsis, accounting for 65.0% of cases and emerging as a contributing factor in 75.0% of instances. Renal failure constituted the second leading cause of death, accounting for 19.0% of mortalities. Other contributing factors included chronic liver disease (6.0%) and ARDS (3.0%). Regarding sepsis, the individuals affected were relatively younger (57.5 ± 11.2 vs. 61.7 ± 11.2, p = 0.988), with a slightly higher prevalence among female patients (77.4%) and those with T1DM (81.8%), though these differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Patients with sepsis exhibited lower BMI values (26.7 ± 4.1 vs. 28.5 ± 6.2, p = 0.014) and poorer glycemic control (9.8 ± 3.1 vs. 9.6 ± 5.1, p = 0.008); (4) Conclusions: This hospital-based data analysis in Mongolia highlights sepsis as the primary cause of mortality among diabetes patients in tertiary hospitals regardless of age, gender, or diabetes type while also indicating a potential association between a lower BMI, poor glycemic control, smoking, and the risk of sepsis.Scopus© Citations 3
