Epidemiological characteristics of diabetes mellitus in the Russian Federation: clinical and statistical analysis according to the Federal diabetes register data of 01.01.2021

BACKGROUND. One of the priority directions in the development of the health care system is to reduce the medical and social damage caused by the increase in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM). From this point of view, the development of a diabetes register is very important as the main information and analytical platform for clinical and epidemiological monitoring of diabetes in the Russian Federation (RF).

AIMS. The aim of our study was to analyze a dynamic (2016–2020) of the epidemiological characteristics of diabetes mellitus in the Russian Federation (prevalence, morbidity, mortality), the prevalence of complications, the level of HbA_1c and the dynamics of the structure of glucose-lowering therapy (GLT) according to the Federal Diabetes Register (FDR).

MATERIALS AND METHODs. The database of FRD (http://diaregistry.ru) 84 regions of the RF. The data are presented in dynamics 2016→2020.

RESULTS. The total number of DM patients in the RF as of 01.01.2021 was 4,799,552 (3.23% of the population), including: Type 1 (T1) — 5.5% (265.4 ths) , T2 — 92.5% (4.43 million), other DM types — 2.0% (99.3 ths). The dynamics of prevalence was 168.7→180.9/100 ths people with T1, and 2709 → 3022/100 ths people with T2; morbidity in T1 10.5→7.7/100 ths population, in T2 219.6→154.2/100 ths population. Age and sex characteristics: the proportion of men in T1 — 54%, in T2 — 30%; the max proportion of patients with T1 at the age of 30–39 years, T2 65–69 years. Mortality: T1 3.0 → 2.7/100 ths population, T2 87.7→93.9/100 ths of the population, the main cause of death was cardiovascular: in T1 38,1% cases, in T2 — 52,0%. Life expectancy (average age of death of patients): T1 was 53.2years, the dynamics in males 50.7 → 50.5years, ­females 58.7→55.2years; in T2 — 73.5 years, males 70.2→70.1years, females 75.7→75.4 years. The dynamic of DM duration until the death: in T1 17.4→19.0 years; in T2 11→11.4 years. The incidence of diabetic complications in T1 and T2 patients: neuropathy 43.3% and 24.4%, nephropathy (CKD) 25.9% and 18.4%, retinopathy 31.7% and 13.5%, respectively. The ­proportion of ­patients with HbA_1c <7%: in T1 32.3%→36.9%, in T2 51.9%→52.1%, with HbA1c ≥ 9.0% in T1 23.1%→18.7% , in T2 8.9%→8.0%. The structure GLT in T2 patients: glucose lowering medications (GLM) — 76.2% (monotherapy — 44.1%; ­combination of  2 GLM — 28.9%, 3 GLM — 3.2%), insulin therapy in 18,8%, without drug therapy in 4.9%.

CONCLUSIONS. The performed analysis demonstrates the importance of dynamic assessment of epidemiological characteristics and monitoring of clinical data on patients with diabetes through a registry for assessing the quality of diabetes care and the prospects for its development.
