PREVALENCE OF CHRONIC COMPLICATIONS IN THE INSULIN-DEPENDENT DIABETIC POPULATION OF ZAGREB - THE EURODIAB IDDM COMPLICATIONS STUDY
The EURODIAB Insulin Dependent Diabetes (IDDM) Complications Study was a cross-sectional study of a stratified random sample of IDDM patients attending 31 clinics in 16 European countries. The findings in Zagreb (140 patients) were compared with those of the study group as a whole (3, 250 patients). The Zagreb patients had worse glycemia control, without more frequent episodes of hypoglycemia or ketoacidosis. Consequently, the prevalence of microvascular complications was significantly higher in Zagreb than in the total EURODIAB population. The prevalence of cardiovascular disease was similar to the EURODIAB average, probably reflecting similar prevalences of some risk factors for macrovascular disease (smoking, dyslipidemia, hypertension). To reduce morbidity and premature death in Croatian IDDM patients, efforts should be intensified to improve glycemia control and reduce the proportion of hypertensive IDDM patients.
