High-risk factors for disorders of consciousness of hypoglycemia
To explore the high risk factors and causes of disorders of consciousness (DOC) in hypoglycemia patients.
Methods
2
A total of 108 patients receiving hypoglycemia treatment in Chongqing Renji Hospital and Chongqing Emergency Medical Center from January 2010 to December 2020 were enrolled in this study. The relationships of sex
age
insulin injection or administration of sulfonylurea drugs and alcohol consumption with hypoglycemia were analyzed. According to being conscious or not
the patients were divided into DOC group (
n
=72) and non-DOC group (
n
=36). The differences of being diabetes mellitus or not
blood glucose level
hypoglycemia duration
and complications (diabetes
hypertension
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
coronary heart diseases
nephropathy
sequelae of stroke and tumors) were compared between the 2 groups. The causes of DOC by hypoglycemia and outcome after glucose raising treatment were analyzed in combination with CT i
mages and results of electroencephalography (EEG).
Results
2
The 108 hypoglycemia patients were majorly old aged (89.8%
over 60 years old) and had diabetes mellitus (70.4%). Seventy-two of them (66.7%) were complicated with DOC
and about 54.17% of them took sulfonylurea hypoglycemic drugs
which was the main inducement of hypoglycemic DOC. Compared with the non-DOC group
the blood glucose level was obviously reduced and the duration of hypoglycemia was notably longer in the DOC group
but the ratio of patients with diabetes mellitus combined with hypertension were significantly less
while the ratio of patients with the 2 above diseases with hypertension and another one or more complications simultaneously (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary inflammation
coronary heart diseases
kidney disease
stroke sequelae
and tumor
etc
.) were significantly larger. There were no significant differences in age
sex and serum creatinine between the 2 groups. In addition
no statistical differences were seen in CT images and EEGs after recovery from DOC. After the treatment of glucose
no obvious sequelaes occurred and the improvement rate was quite high.
Conclusion
2
The main inducement of hypoglycemic DOC is oral administration of sulfonylurea
and the main high-risk factors are the severity of hypoglycemia
duration of hypoglycemia and having 3 or more complications. The patients with both diabetes mellitus and hypertension are relatively not so easy to develop hypoglycemic DOC.
