“…This finding was also confirmed in previously published studies [5][6][7]. Inui et al [24] showed that the HbA 1c levels peaked 3 to 4 months after the Kobe earthquake and returned to prequake levels 5-6 months later. Also Kirizuka et al [25] reported that HbA 1c levels increased after the Hanshin-Awaji earthquake and declined gradually to the pre-earthquake levels one year later.…”

“…The results of the studies showed that not only does diabetes control become worse after earthquake [5,24,25], but also an increase in the number of newly diagnosed patients occurs following the earthquake [3,6]. Stress negatively affects either people with diabetes [24,29,35,36] or without [17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

“…Such worsened glycemic control results simply from inadequate food intake [5,25]. Supplies of insulin and other drugs for people with diabetes run out, and there is rapidly increased anxiety among diabetics [1,24]. Among the earthquake studies published between 1995 and 2000, few studies are involved with the impact of earthquakes on the quality of life (QOL) [26,29,30].…”

Abstract. To examine the short-and long-term influences of the Marmara earthquake, which occurred on August 17, 1999 in Turkey, on glycemic control and quality of life (QOL), HbA 1c, insulin requirement and QOL of 88 people with type 1 diabetes living in the quake zone were evaluated one year before (PreE), 3 months after (PostE) and one year after (FE) the earthquake. HbA 1c levels and daily insulin requirements increased significantly at PostE (HbA 1c from 7.4 ± 1.3% to 8.5 ± 1.8%, p<0.05; insulin from 0.58 ± 0.2 IU/kg/day to 0.77 ± 0.2 IU/kg/day, p<0.05). Mean total QOL scores at PostE were significantly lower than the scores obtained at PreE (62.7 ± 17.3 vs 74.2 ± 13.4, p<0.001). There were no significant differences between HbA 1c levels and total QOL scores at PreE and FE. People with type 1 diabetes living in the same house after the earthquake and not having enough food supply were reported to have lower QOL than people moving to another house and having enough food supply after the earthquake (p = 0.014, p<0.0001, respectively). The Marmara Earthquake had a negative impact on the glycemic control and QOL of the subjects with type 1 diabetes for the short term but prequake scores might be achieved after a long period.

“…It had a major impact on health care in New Orleans, LA and the surrounding region, not only in relation to acute illness (1-3) but also chronic disease (4,5). Other disasters have been shown to have an impact on chronic disease like diabetes and hypertension (6). However, many lessons have been learned that may help to better prepare for managing health-related problems in future disasters (7).…”

Hurricane Katrina was one of the most catastrophic natural disasters to hit the United States. It had a major impact on health care in New Orleans, LA and the surrounding region, not only in relation to acute illness but also chronic disease. When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans on August 29, 2005, there were 193 participants being followed in the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) Trial at Tulane University Health Sciences Center. In the immediate aftermath of the storm, the Tulane University ACCORD Study site, in collaboration with the Study Coordinating Center and the Southeast Clinical Center Network office of the trial at Wake Forest University Health Sciences in North Carolina, took several actions in order to locate the participants, ensure their safety, and maintain the scientific integrity of the trial. We describe the actions taken and the relative success/failure of such actions.

ABSTRACTBackground:The impact of a natural disaster on self-care and health care delivery has been well documented. The objective of the study was to document the recovery pattern from the impact of a natural disaster such as Hurricane Katrina on clinical and biochemical measures of diabetes and its comorbidities.Methods:Patients were selected from Tulane University Hospital and Clinic, Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System, and the Medical Center of Louisiana at New Orleans. Adults with diabetes and A1cmeasurement 6 months before (pre-K) Hurricane Katrina (February 28, 2005–August 27, 2005) and 6 to 16 months after (post-K) Katrina (March 1, 2006–December 31, 2006) were identified within the 3 facilities. Follow-up data (January 1, 2007–December 31, 2007) were 1 year after the first post-K visit. The outcome measures were hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), and lipids (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL], triglycerides).Results:Averaged across the 3 facilities, the parameters significantly different in the follow-up period compared with pre- and post-K were HbA1c(P= .04), HDL, and systolic and diastolic BP (P< .0001). Parameters with significantly different patterns of change in the 3 facilities over time were HbA1c, HDL, systolic and diastolic BP (P< .0001), and low-density lipoprotein (P< .01).Conclusions:Our results suggest that a variety of clinical and biochemical parameters related to diabetes and its comorbidities affected by natural disaster have varied the rate of recovery to predisaster levels.(Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2010;4:S33-S38)
