Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 67
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prevalence of diabetes mellitus and asymptomatic bacteriuria is increasing drastically in developing countries, particularly in India. In the present study, an attempt has been made to find an association of the asymptomatic bacteriuria and diabetes mellitus type 2. The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in elderly diabetic women. To assess if obstructive uropathy/ diabetic cystopathy has an association with asymptomatic bacteriuria in older diabetic women. To assess if other clinical and laboratory factors such as HbA1C, duration of diabetes, body mass index, etc. have an association with asymptomatic bacteriuria. MATERIALS AND METHODS 107 older diabetic women who satisfied the inclusion criteria were recruited from the outpatient clinics of the Department of Medicine and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the ACSR Govt. Medical College, Nellore, AP. RESULTS All of them were evaluated for diabetic comorbidities and complications- both microvascular and macrovascular. Of these 78 patients had given urine for culture to look for asymptomatic bacteriuria. Among them 61 went on to do the uroflowmetry to look for evidence of obstructive uropathy. Only 57 completed the post-void residual urine estimation, which was to look for diabetic cystopathy. CONCLUSION A total of 107 older diabetic women were screened for the study, of which 78 followed up to do the urine cultures; 13 prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) was 16.7% (13 out of 78).
