Descriptive Study on Hospitalization Episodes Due to Diabetes Mellitus Situation in Romania in The Last Decade

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus, one of the challenges in terms of public health at a global level, with a constant upward evolution in terms of morbidity and mortality indicators, registers a similar trend in Romania. Although in our country the values of prevalence, incidence, but also the mortality rate due to diabetes mellitus are still at a lower level than the values of the European region and those of the European Union, the constant upward trend indicates that more effective measures are needed to reduce the negative impact of the disease through better monitoring of the health status of the population, diagnosing patients with prediabetes, establishing antidiabetic treatment early, in order to avoid increased costs related to complications and premature deaths.
