[National Diabetes Registry. A teaching pedagogical instrument for quality assurance].
The National Diabetes Registry of Sweden presents results from its third year of registration. Quality of care data from more than 41,000 patients with diabetes treated at medical and children's departments as well as primary health care centers are compared with national goals concerning metabolic and blood pressure control, and information is provided concerning the prevalence of lipid treatment, nephropathy, smoking etc. The national HbA1c goal of 6.5% is reached by 30% of patients treated at medical departments and by 50% in primary health care. Concerning patients with onset before 30 years of age, this goal is reached by 25%, which indicates that the national goal is difficult to reach and that individual goals must be set for individual patients.
