Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to assess the relationshipbetween Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and its complica-tions with the severity of depression.Methods: Eighty diabetics under the age of 65 usinginsulin were enrolled and clinical and biochemical datawere recorded. The severity of neuropathy was deter-mined by the “United Kingdom neuropathy screening score” (UKNS) whereas the severity of depression wasdetermined by the “Beck depression scale” (BDS). Ne-phropathy and retinopathy were assessed by the micro-albumin-creatinine ratio in spot urine samples and by de-tailed examination of the retina with an ophthalmoscope,respectively.Results: There were more patients who has high neurop- athy severity in the group with the highest Beck depres- sion scale score (p
Özet
Amaç: Bu çalışmada kronik bir hastalık olan Tip 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) ve komplikasyonlarının depresyonşiddeti ile ilişkisi değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 65 yaşından küçük, insülin kullanmakta olan 80 Tip 2 DM hastası alınarak klinik ve biyokimyasal verileri kaydedildi. Nöropati şiddeti “United Kingdomnöropati tarama skoru” (UKNS) ile, depresyon şiddeti ise “Beck Depresyon Envanteri” (BDE) ile belirlendi. Nefropati spot idrar örneğinde mikroalbumin-kreatinin oranı ile,retinopati ise göz dibi muayenesi ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Beck depresyon şiddeti yüksek olan hasta grubu içindeki nöropati şiddeti yüksek olan hasta sayısı daha fazlaydı (p
