Elevated blood sugar levels enervate the patient’s immune system and make the patient vulnerable to infections.Assessing the prescription patterns assure quality medical care by providing feedback to the prescribers. Objectives: To assess the prevalence and the prescription pattern of antibiotics in infections associated with type II diabetes mellitus along with their quality of life. To assess the Adverse Drug Reactions associated with treatment of type-II diabetes mellitus.

Erectile dysfunction is currently a growing health concern and one of the most prevalent sexual dysfunctions in men worldwide. Diabetes mellitus is considered a risk factor for developing ED. Therefore, this SHIM study was designed to assess the prevalence, severity and determinant of erectile dysfunction in type II diabetes mellitus patients and healthy men. This hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 132 diabetic male patients and 66 healthy men at the Nkenkaasu hospital, Offinso North, Ghana between January-June, 2019. A pre-structured questionnaire and patients’ medical records were used to document relevant information. Erectile function was assessed using Sexual health inventory for men questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.0. Chi-square test, binary and multivariable logistic regression analysis were used appropriately. The mean age of study participants was 57.94 ± 9.79 years. The overall mean score on the SHIM test was 12.42 ± 8.15 (range: 1–25), mean of 9.59±7.83 for the type II diabetics and 18.08±5.39 for non-diabetic men. The total erectile dysfunction (ED) prevalence was 81.8% (95% CI: 0.757, 0.869). ED was common in diabetics (70.4%) compared with healthy men (29.6%). Severe ED was 93.7% and 6.3% in the diabetic and non-diabetic men respectively. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that diabetic men with poor health-related quality of life had 3.48 times likelihood of having ED compared to their non-diabetic counterparts (AOR= 3.48, 95% CI; 1.284, 9.453). Very high erectile dysfunction was observed in our study participants. This is worrisome owing to the profound negative impact of ED on the quality of life and fertility of men. It is recommended that periodic assessment of erectile function should form part of routine diabetes care, focusing attention on the modifiable risk factors in preventing, delaying progression, or reversing established ED in persons. Doi: 10.28991/SciMedJ-2021-0301-4 Full Text: PDF
