To measure quality of life of type 2 diabetes patients in Oman, and examine which patients' socio-demographic and diabetes-related clinical characteristics are associated with better quality of life.
This cross-sectional study of 200 diabetic subjects was conducted in Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Al-Khod, Oman between April and September 2009. A short form of the diabetes quality of life questionnaire (DQoL) was used to elicit indices of quality of life on subjects (n=200) seeking consultation at the diabetic outpatient clinic. Socio-demographic variables, body mass index (kg/m) and clinical parameters relevant for the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, including glycated hemoglobin A1c level, (HbA1c), were also sought.
The results show that patients with less than 5 years of disease duration and HbA1c less than 8% reported significantly better overall DQoL. Patients with HbA1c less than 8% showed significantly higher glycemic control satisfaction score. The same trend was observed in patients with less than 5 years duration of diabetes. Patients with ages less than 40 years have significantly better self care adherence scores and total score of QoL.
Patients' reported moderate DQoL, which appears to be related to demographics, medical history, and management regimens. Patients with HbA1c less than 8% showed significantly higher glycemic control satisfaction score. Furthermore, patients who are less than 40 years of age have significantly better quality of life compared to other age groups.
评估阿曼2型糖尿病患者的生活质量，并探究哪些患者的社会人口统计学特征和糖尿病相关临床特征与更好的生活质量相关。
2009年4月至9月间，在阿曼科德市的苏丹·卡布斯大学医院对200名糖尿病患者进行了这项横断面研究。采用糖尿病生活质量问卷简表（DQoL）来获取在糖尿病门诊就诊的200名患者的生活质量指标。还收集了社会人口统计学变量、体重指数（kg/m）以及与2型糖尿病诊断相关的临床参数，包括糖化血红蛋白A1c水平（HbA1c）。
结果显示，病程少于5年且HbA1c低于8%的患者总体DQoL显著更好。HbA1c低于8%的患者血糖控制满意度得分显著更高。糖尿病病程少于5年的患者也呈现出相同趋势。年龄小于40岁的患者自我护理依从性得分和生活质量总分显著更好。
患者报告的生活质量为中等水平，这似乎与人口统计学、病史和治疗方案有关。HbA1c低于8%的患者血糖控制满意度得分显著更高。此外，与其他年龄组相比，年龄小于40岁的患者生活质量显著更好。
