title: [Assessment of the quality of ambulatory-polyclinic care of patients with diabetes mellitus].
abstract: Outpatient-policlinic care study of 1121 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) over the period 1997-1999 shows that 82.5% of patients with non-insulin-dependent (type II DM) and 65% of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes (type I DM) hadn't been observed regularly. In 53.7% of type II DM cases and 64% of type I DM cases one might detect worsening of patients' state although the adequate treatment was prescribed in 91% of type II DM cases and 93% of those with type I DM. 44.6% of patients with type II DM and 33% of patients with type I DM hadn't remarked any changes of their health, only 0.8% of patients with type II DM and 2.0% with type I DM were found with better clinical data. Unfortunately, one might say polyclinic rehabilitation work to be unsatisfactory in 83.7% of type II DM cases and in 78% of type I DM cases. As a result of this analysis it is essential to enlist general practitioners as well as nurses specialized in diabetes care to render medical aide to the diabetics.
