Abstract T P126: Diabetes Mellitus and K-Modified Barthel Index at 6 Months after Stroke: A Prospective Multicenter Study
2015
Introduction: Few studies investigated the diabetes mellitus (DM) as a predictable factor of 6 months K-Modified Barthel Index (KMBI) outcome after stroke.
Aims: The aim of this study is to investigate whether DM predicts the outcome of KMBI at 6-month after stroke with adjustment for cardiovascular disease risk factors, socioeconomic position and health behavior factors.
Methods: This is an interim report of the Korean Stroke Cohort for Functioning and Rehabilitation (KosCo). The sample included 1,199 stroke patients aged 45-92 years. FIM score was assessed at 6 months after onset. We divided subjects into two age groups: the middle aged (45-64 year-old) and the elderly (over 65 year-old). Subjects who met one of the following requirements were defined as having DM: taking an oral hyperglycemic agent, using insulin, clinical diagnosis of diabetes, or a fasting glucose level >125 mg/dL.
Results: The mean age of the middle aged group was 55.8(±5.44) year-old and the elderly group was 74.3(±6.14)(p<0.001). The distribution of DM was 20.8% and 28.9%, respectively (p<0.001). The mean 6-Month KMBI was 91.7 (±20.7) and 78.4 (±33.1), respectively (p<0.001). The 6-Month KMBI significantly decreased in DM group compared to the non DM group after adjustment for confounding factors. In the middle aged group, the 6-Month KMBI decreased in DM group (p<0.01), but in the elderly group.
Conclusions: This hospital-based cohort study showed that DM may predict poor 6-Month KMBI outcome, especially, for the middle aged group (Supported by Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2013E3301701)).
