Prevalence and associated factors of painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy among diabetic patients on follow up at Jimma University Medical Center.

Despite having significant impact on the patient's quality of life, painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN) is usually underdiagnosed. Screening for PDPN in patients with diabetes is needed in order to get timely identification and management. Hence, the purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and determinants of PDPN among diabetes patients attending outpatient at Jimma University Medical Center from September 1 November 10, 2019. Hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted and douleur neuropathique-4 was used to identify the presence of PDPN. Data were collected using pretested structured questionnaire and entered into EPI data 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Both bivariate and multivariate binary logistic regression was employed to identify factors associated with PDPN. Variable having a p value of <0.25 in the bivariate model were considered as candidates for multivariable regression. Adjusted odds ratios were calculated at 95%CI and considered significant with a p value of <0.05. A total of 366 diabetic patients were enrolled into the study and their mean duration of diabetes was 6.8 ± 5.3 years. The study finding showed that the prevalence of PDPN was 14.5%. According to the multivariate logistic regression analysis smoking [current smoker(AOR = 6.17; 95%CI:2.25,16.86),former smoker(AOR = 3.22;95%CI:1.29,8.03)],diabetes duration[5 to 10 years (AOR = 3.32;95%CI:1.29,8.53), ≥ 10 years (AOR = 8.86;95% CI: 3.49,22.5)] and comorbid hypertension [AOR = 2.54; 95%CI:1.17,5.49] were independent predictors of PDPN among study participants. The overall prevalence of PDPN in this study was 14.5% and it was significantly associated with smoking, comorbid hypertension and diabetes duration of above 5 years. Early detection and appropriate interventions are important for high risk patients identified in the current study.

Excess serum uric acid is associated with metabolic syndrome in obese adolescent patients.

Obesity is a significant cause of morbidity in adolescents. Excess serum uric acid (SUA) has been associated with metabolic syndrome (MS) among adults. We evaluated the relationship among SUA and markers of insulin resistance (IR) and low-grade inflammation in obese adolescents with and without MS. The study was a retrospective chart review of obese patients seen in the LeBonheur Endocrine clinic seen in clinic between September 2016 and December 2017. MS was defined as according to the International Diabetes Federation. Body mass index standard deviation score (BMI SDS), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), body composition, fasting lipids, glucose, high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-CRP), serum uric acid (SUA), HbA1c, alanine transferase (ALT), aspartate transferase (AST), insulin and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were extracted from the charts of the 100 obese adolescents (57% female). Hyperuricemia (SUA >357 umol/L) was present in 41.8% of entire cohort without significant ethnic/racial and/or gender differences. Adolescents with HUA had higher FM, SBP, HbA1c, insulin and HOMA-IR (p < 0.05). While SUA was positively correlated with FM, SBP, HOMA-IR and HbA1c, and triglyceride:HDL-C ratio (TG:HDL-C) (p < 0.05). MS was identified in 32.8% of cohort. MS showed significantly higher FM, SBP, DBP, SUA, ALT, insulin, HOMA-IR, and TG:HDL-c ratio than non-MS subgroup (p < 0.05). FM was positively correlated with SUA, HOMA-IR and hsCRP (p < 0.01). In our study, those with hyperuricemia (HUA) showed elevated markers of metabolic syndrome including BP, serum glucoses, IR and triglycerides. In our cohort, SUA appears to correlate with MS comorbidities.
