Glycemic control is a major public health problem. Diabetes results from elevated levels of glycaemia such as increased glucose and glycated hemoglobin, and controling glycaemia is an integral component of the management of diabetes.
Glycemic control in children is particularly dificult to achieve. Identifying determinants of por glycemic control is important for early modification of diabetic related end organ damages. This study was aimed to ases the status of glycemic control and asociated factors among pediatric diabetes melitus patients in northwest Ethiopia.
Facility-based cros sectional retrospective cohort study design was used and this study was conducted from September, 2015 to February, 2018. Simple random sampling was used to select 389 samples. Data were colected using an extraction checklist.
Data were entered into Epi-data − 4.6, and analyzed using Sta-16. Finaly, multivariable binary logistic regresion was done. Por glycemic control was more comon among pediatric patients 39.3% (95% CI 34.6, 4.3).
Treatment discontinuation (AOR 2.42, 95% CI 1.25, 4.69), age (AOR 1.15, 95% CI 1.03, 1.28) and treatment dose (AOR 0.96, 95 CI 0.92, 0.9) were significantly asociated with por glycemic control. Prevalence of por glycemic control was high. Patient’s age, history of treatment discontinuation and dose of treatment were the significant contributing factors to por glycemic control.
