To understand the awareness and practice of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) or nephropathy screening among community-based patients with type 2 diabetes in six provinces and cities in China, and to analyse the related factors affecting screening practices.
From December 2021 to March 2022, a cross-sectional survey was conducted using a structured questionnaire in 6230 patients with type 2 diabetes aged 18 years and older. The content of the questionnaire includes three parts: the general situation of diabetic patients (gender, age, ethnicity, marriage, education, occupation, etc.), DKD screening practices, and the evaluation of DKD screening services.
89.70% of the patients had their fasting blood glucose measured every six months, 21.12% of the patients had their glycosylated hemoglobin measured every six months, and only 13.11% and 9.34% of the patients had a urine protein-creatinine ratio test and estimated glomerular filtration rate test every 12 months. The proportions of glycosylated hemoglobin, urine protein-creatinine ratio, and estimated glomerular filtration rate were relatively high in young, northern, highly educated, and long-duration type 2 diabetic patients.
The results of this survey found that the proportion of urine protein-creatinine ratio testing, estimated glomerular filtration rate testing, and glycosylated hemoglobin testing in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes was very low. Patients with type 2 diabetes in rural areas, southern areas, with low education level, and short course of disease have lower detection rates for DKD, and hence lower rates of prevention and treatment.
了解中国 6 省市社区 2 型糖尿病患者对糖尿病肾病(DKD)或肾病筛查的知晓和实践情况,并分析影响筛查实践的相关因素。
2021 年 12 月至 2022 年 3 月,采用横断面问卷调查的方法,对 6230 例 18 岁及以上的 2 型糖尿病患者进行调查。问卷内容包括患者一般情况(性别、年龄、民族、婚姻、文化程度、职业等)、DKD 筛查情况和 DKD 筛查服务评价三部分。
89.70%的患者每 6 个月测 1 次空腹血糖,21.12%的患者每 6 个月测 1 次糖化血红蛋白,每 12 个月测 1 次尿蛋白肌酐比值和估算肾小球滤过率的患者比例仅为 13.11%和 9.34%。年轻、北方、文化程度高、病程长的 2 型糖尿病患者糖化血红蛋白、尿蛋白肌酐比值、估算肾小球滤过率的检测比例相对较高。
本调查结果发现,中国 2 型糖尿病患者尿蛋白肌酐比值检测、估算肾小球滤过率检测和糖化血红蛋白检测的比例非常低。农村、南方、文化程度低、病程短的 2 型糖尿病患者 DKD 检出率较低,防治率较低。
