Location: Home >> Comparison of Coagulation Profile in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients at Durame General Hospital, South East Ethiopia: Comparative Cross-sectional Study
Background: Diabetes mellitus is related to disturbances of hemostasis that could subsidize the occurrence of thrombogenic complications. Diabetic patients are exposed to thrombosis, which arises from cardiovascular events, the rest from cerebrovascular events along with peripheral vascular complications, and these are correlated with diabetes results for most of its morbidity, and mortality. The current study was carried out to determine the coagulation profiles of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in comparison with apparently healthy controls. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was carried out at Durame General Hospital from June 2023 to January 2024. Socio-demographic and clinical data were collected using questionnaires and checklists. Platelet parameters were determined from EDTA anticoagulated venous blood using an Adevia560 hematological analyzer, whereas coagulation analysis was done using an ARES LiNEAR coagulation analyzer from citrated plasma. Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests were used to check distribution, and data was analyzed using SPSS version 26 software. An unpaired t-test was used to compare the mean between groups and the Kruskal Wallis test for the comparison of different categories in groups. Statistical significance was designed at (P< 0.05). Results: There was a significant shortening of prothrombine time (PT) (12.9±1.5, vs 13.5±1.3), (p=0.02), and International normalized ration (INR) (1.08±0.16, vs 1.13±0.17), (p= 0.04) and significant increase of platelet count, MPV (12.1±1.9, vs 10.9±1.5, p<0.001), PDW (16.7±2.1, vs 15.5±1.8, p<0.001 between diabetics compared to controls respectively. Platelet count showed a weak positive correlation with fasting blood glucose level (r=0.26, p=0.02). Conclusion: The present study revealed reduced values of PT, and INR, and increased values of Plt count, MPV, and PDW among type 2 diabetic patients compared to apparently healthy controls. Thus, the finding is suggestive of hypercoagulable tendencies of diabetic patients compared to controls.
