Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major global health issue with increasing prevalence, including in Indonesia, where it significantly contributes to cardiovascular diseases such as Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). This study investigates the relationship between triglyceride levels and ACS occurrence in Type 2 DM patients at RSPAL Dr. Ramelan Surabaya. The objective is to explore triglyceride distribution, examine its relationship with ACS, and assess age and gender variations in ACS incidence. Using a cross-sectional observational design, secondary data from the medical records of 92 patients were analyzed. The study found that a high percentage of patients had lipid metabolism disorders, with most exhibiting normal triglyceride levels. The distribution of ACS events revealed that APTS was most prevalent, followed by IMA-EST. Spearman correlation tests showed no statistically significant relationship between triglyceride levels and ACS occurrence (p > 0.05). However, the study indicated that other multifactorial risk factors, such as age, gender, and lifestyle factors, played a more crucial role in the incidence of ACS in Type 2 DM patients. This study suggests that while triglyceride levels alone may not serve as a significant predictor, they could be useful in conjunction with other risk factors for early detection and prevention strategies in clinical settings. Further research is needed to explore causality and develop more effective treatment protocols.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between HbA1c levels and the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at Prof. Dr. Soekandar Hospital, Mojokerto. The prevalence of GERD in diabetic patients, particularly those with poor glycemic control, is a growing concern globally. The primary objective was to determine whether varying HbA1c levels correlate with the severity of GERD symptoms, as measured using the GERD-Q score. A cross-sectional observational design was employed, with data collected through HbA1c measurements and GERD-Q questionnaires from 52 patients with T2DM. The study utilized both univariate and bivariate analyses, including chi-square tests, to evaluate the relationship between glycemic control and GERD symptoms. The results indicated a significant association between higher HbA1c levels and increased GERD prevalence, with 88.9% of patients in the uncontrolled HbA1c group exhibiting GERD symptoms. The chi-square test revealed a significant p-value of <0.001, confirming a strong correlation between poor glycemic control and GERD incidence. This study highlights the importance of glycemic control in reducing the risk of gastrointestinal complications, particularly GERD, in patients with T2DM. Further research is needed to explore the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this relationship and to develop targeted clinical interventions.
