[Length of stay and length of work incapacity in patients with Type I diabetes. Effects of a diabetes treatment and education program].
Objective data on duration of hospital stay and of incapacity to work were collected for 137 type I diabetics who had taken part in a structured diabetes treatment and training scheme. Before the training period the average hospital stay had been 0.76 per patient per year, duration per stay 21 days, number of episodes of work incapacity 1.6 per patient per year, duration of incapacity 23.6 days. For a subgroup of patients (62) the influence of the training programme could be demonstrated: hospital stay fell to 0.49 per patient per year, duration per stay to 12.0 days, number of incapacity episodes to 1.4 per patient per year, and the days lost from work to 12.1 per patient per year.
