“…Validation in the respective countries also confirmed the utility of the instrument for the evaluation of patients with T2DM in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. 20,21 Before the start of the study, each patient was informed about its purpose by the authors. The questionnaires were completed personally and anonymously by each patient during an appointment with a physician.…”

The purpose of the paper was to perform a comparative analysis of the impact of T2DM on QoL, including specific ADDQoL domains and associations between QoL, selected socio-demographic factors (including gender, age, education, residence, marital status, professional activity) or clinical parameters (HbA1c levels, fasting blood glucose, BMI, duration of DM, complications, treatment used), in adult diabetic patients from Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The study group included 608 patients diagnosed with T2DM. There were 214 patients from Poland, 196 from the Czech Republic and 198 from Slovakia. Results: Overall, respondents from all three countries rated their QoL as good or very good. The mean scores for the item "If I did not have diabetes, my quality of life would be" were slightly higher for Poles than for Slovaks and Czechs. In the ADDQoL results, the weighted impact scores were negative for all domains. The lowest scores in all three countries were found for "freedom to eat" for all patients; the highest for "living conditions". For Polish patients, the linear regression model demonstrated the following significant AWI predictors: pre-university education and past smoking. For Czech patients, the linear regression model demonstrated that none of the characteristics analyzed were significant independent predictors of AWI. In the For Slovak patients, the linear regression model demonstrated the following significant AWI predictors: higher education and concurrent heart failure. Conclusion: In summary, our findings demonstrate that T2DM has a negative impact on all aspects of patients' QoL, which is the strongest in terms of the freedom to eat and dietary habits, regardless of the country. Education, past smoking, and concurrent heart failure were the only independent predictors of QoL in our study. This suggests a need for further research that would include more variables and a larger number of patients.

IntroductionThe aim of the study was to determine the level of metabolic control in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in the Czech and Slovak Republics.MethodsA non-interventional prospective (observational) study was conducted from January 2015 until April 2016 in routine clinical practice settings at 141 centers in the Czech and Slovak Republics. Data were analyzed from a total of 425 patients with T1DM and 1034 patients with T2DM, proportionally corresponding to the number of patients in both countries. The primary objective of the study was to determine the percentage of patients with HbA1c < 7% (53 mmol/mol).ResultsPatients with T1DM: In this group of patients (55.8% males, mean age 45.9 ± 14.83 years, BMI 25.8 ± 4.21 kg/m², diabetes duration 12.1 ± 9.44 years), 29.9% reached HbA1c levels < 53 mmol/mol. Patients with T2DM: In this group of patients (50.3% male, mean age 63.9 ± 9.65 years, BMI 31.0 ± 5.19 kg/m², diabetes duration 12.4 ± 7.47 years, duration of insulin therapy 5.8 ± 4.71 years), 33.4% reached HbA1c levels < 53 mmol/mol.ConclusionThe overall percentage of patients with HbA1c < 53 mmol/mol in the T1DM group was 29.9% and in the T2DM group was 33.4%. Despite an increasing number of treatment options, most patients still fail to reach the recommended HbA1c targets.FundingSanofi, Czech Republic.

“…The study in Poland relied on the Polish language version of the ADDQoL, as its psychometric properties, determined earlier, indicate that it is a reliable tool for the assessment of QoL in Polish adults with T1DM or T2DM [16]. Validation in the respective countries also confirmed the utility of the instrument for the evaluation of patients with T2DM in Slovakia and the Czech Republic [17]. The instrument is characterized by high consistency and reliability coefficients for all 3 countries.…”
