Diabetes Mellitus and Its Associated Factors in Tuberculosis Patients in Maekel Region, Eritrea: Analytical Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract: Background Both diabetes mellitus (DM) and tuberculosis (TB) are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Eritrea. TB-DM comorbidity is known to complicate TB care, control and prevention. However, systematically studied epidemiological data on TB-DM comorbidity and its associated risk factors are lacking in this country. Objective This study aimed to assess the prevalence of DM and its associated factors among TB patients in the Maekel region, Eritrea. … Show more

“…This model of screening and referral for both communicable and NCDs was considered an effective platform for diagnosing TB and NCDs concomitantly, especially in resource-limited settings. The need for such a platform is further emphasised in the cross-sectional study by Araia and colleagues in Eritrea, which points out the shared risk factors such as BMI for the development of TB and DM whereby only 54.5% of the patients in the study were aware that they have both conditions [ 56 ]. Furthermore, free screening using mobile units was deemed effective to reach participants in rural areas where screening for diabetes was performed using handheld glucometers and screening for hypertension performed with electronic sphygmomanometers [ 57 ].…”

“…Another strength of this study is the use of LCA in providing information regarding clinically meaningful subgroups (19). More simplistic methods employed a fixed list of chronic conditions in defining chronic condition groups, our datadriven approach allowed inclusion of all observed diagnoses to identify distinct subgroups (20)(21)(22). This approach takes account for potentially joint comorbidity patterns between more severe chronic conditions such as heart failure and common illnesses like hypertension and gout, our study is capable of elucidating more detailed condition combinations.…”

“…Penelitian oleh Utomo et al (2016) di Semarang juga memperoleh simpulan bahwa riwayat diabetes melitus dengan kejadian tuberkulosis saling berhubungan (p-value = 0,03). Penelitian oleh Araia et al (2021) di Afrika Bagian Timur menunjukkan kesamaan dengan penelitian ini yang menyebutkan riwayat diabetes melitus dan tuberkulosis saking berhubungan (p-value 0,001), dimana subjek dengan riwayat diabetes melitus 7 kali lebih rentan menderita tuberkulosis. Kesamaan juga ditemukan pada penelitian Yoo et al (2021) di Korea yang mengemukakan bahwa subjek dengan riwayat diabetes melitus lebih rentan 1,3 kali terjadi TBC dibandingkan subjek tanpa riwayat diabetes melitus.…”
