■本研究旨在调查合并症,临床特征,实验室值,以及在经历低血糖发作的非糖尿病患者中的诊断。
■2016年至2023年在伊朗的Shariati医院进行了一项回顾性观察性研究。纳入74例非糖尿病患者,诊断为低血糖。而糖尿病患者被排除在外。人口统计数据,症状,生化评估是从医院信息系统获得的。低血糖发作是基于低测得的血糖,记录低血糖治疗的药物,或记录的指示低血糖的代码。低血糖定义为血糖低于70mg/dL(3.9mmol/L)以及Whipple三联症的其他两个标准。使用SPSS软件(版本26)进行统计学分析。
■在登记的患者中,63.5%是女性,和13.5%为老年人(≥65岁)。观察到的最常见的合并症是心血管疾病(20.3%),心理障碍(20.3%),甲状腺功能减退(14.9%),高血压(8.1%)。普遍的症状包括虚弱,失去意识,出汗,心悸,头晕,和颤抖。非糖尿病性低血糖是由人为障碍引起的,胰岛素瘤,器官衰竭,和感染,分别。
■由于临床症状的多样性,非糖尿病患者的低血糖可能会被晚期诊断,导致误诊,如心理障碍或癫痫发作。考虑非糖尿病患者低血糖的可能性并确定其根本原因至关重要。鉴于与低血糖相关的不良预后,及时的干预至关重要。
UNASSIGNED: This study aims to investigate comorbidities, clinical features, laboratory values, and diagnoses in non-diabetic patients experiencing hypoglycemic episodes.
UNASSIGNED: A retrospective observational study was conducted at Shariati Hospital in Iran from 2016 to 2023. Seventy-four non-diabetic patients admitted with a diagnosis of hypoglycemia were included, while patients with diabetes were excluded. Demographic data, symptoms, and biochemical assessments were obtained from the hospital information system. Hypoglycemic episodes were identified based on low measured blood
glucose, recorded medications for hypoglycemia treatment, or recorded codes indicating hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia was defined as blood
glucose below 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) along with two other criteria of the Whipple triad. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software (version 26).
UNASSIGNED: Among the enrolled patients, 63.5% were female, and 13.5% were elderly (≥ 65 years). The most common comorbidities observed were cardiovascular disease (20.3%), psychological disorders (20.3%), hypothyroidism (14.9%), and hypertension (8.1%). The prevalent symptoms included weakness, loss of consciousness, sweating, palpitations, dizziness, and tremors. Non-diabetic hypoglycemia was caused by factitious disorders, insulinoma, organ failure, and infection, respectively.
UNASSIGNED: Due to the diverse range of clinical symptoms, hypoglycemia in non-diabetic patients may be diagnosed late, leading to misdiagnoses such as psychological disorders or seizures. It is crucial to consider the possibility of hypoglycemia in non-diabetic patients and determine its underlying cause. Given the poor prognosis associated with hypoglycemia, timely interventions are essential.
