Correlation Between Gender and Random Plasma Glucose on The Outcome of Sepsis Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in The Internal Medicine Room of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital

Abstract

Background: Indonesia has a tropical climate, so it cannot be separated from sepsis. Sepsis is a severe health problem with very high mortality worldwide. Type 2 diabetes mellitus comorbidities that Indonesian people often suffer from can affect patient outcomes. The effect of gender on patient outcomes is still controversial. It is estimated that gender differences can affect hormonal responses, which cause differences in immune responses. In addition, random plasma glucose levels can also be associated with the outcome of septic patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus due to impaired immune response that occurs in patients. Method: This research is a retrospective study using the Cross-Sectional method by taking the medical record data of sepsis patients treated in the internal medicine room of Dr. General Hospital. Soetomo Surabaya for January 1, 2020 – December 31, 2020. Result: Of the 215 study subjects divided into two groups, 123 patients died, while 92 patients were discharged. There were no significant results that gender in type 2 diabetes mellitus sepsis patients was associated with patient outcomes from hospital care (p = 0.055). In addition, there was also no significant relationship between random plasma glucose levels of patients and patient outcomes during hospitalization (p = 0.790). Conclusion: Gender and random plasma glucose levels in septic patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are not associated with hospital outcomes.
