Factors associated to inhospital mortality in patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in three hospitals from the southern highlands of Peru

Introduction: The diabetes mortality has increased in recent years. In Peru, there are no studies about intra hospitable mortality due to diabetes in its provinces. Objective: Determine the associated factors to intra hospitable mortality with type 2 mellitus diabetes in three hospitals in the southern mountain range from Peru. Methods: An analytical cross-section has been made. All patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus hospitalized in Cusco during the year 2016 were included. The socio-educational and clinical characteristics were evaluated, having “death” as a variable of interest. It was calculated the reasons of crude and adjusted prevalence using the generalized linear models. With Poisson family and the connection log function. With their respective 95% confidence interval. Values < 0.05 were considered significant. Results: from 153 patients, 33.3% (51) died in hospitalization. The frequency of mortality increased, the increase of patient's age (adjusted prevalence ratio 1.02; 95% confidence interval 1.01 to 1.03; p value
