Summary
The increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) leads to the differentiation of the registration of diabetics in individual specialties. Objective of this paper was the evaluation of changes in the representation of expertise providing care for patients with DM (pDM) in the Czech Republic, based on data analysis from the National Register of Paid Health Services (NRHZS) 2010–2021.
In the entire pDM group, the number of patients treated by a diabetologist (DIA) increased from 491,490 (57.0 %) to 537,430 (50.4 %), with a general practitioner (GP) from 27,719 (3.2 %) to 181,330 (17.0 %) and by internist (INT) from 172,918 (20.0 %) to 161,291 (15.1 %). In 2021, 57.9 % DIA, 17 % GP, 12.2 % INT were treated from the group treated with antidiabetics (813,873). In 2021, 84,345 were treated with insulin alone (87.2 % DIA), 129,127 were treated with a combination of insulin and non-insulin antidiabetics; 115,604 (91.6 %) in DIA, 322 (0.3 %) in GP and 7,983 (6.3 %) in INT. 603,331 treated only with non-insulin antidiabetic drugs, of which 281,929 (46.7 %) DIA, 137,744 (22.8 %) GP and 85,273 (14.1 %) INT. For other specialties, 98,385 (16.3 %) persons. 185,838 patients without reported DIA/GP/INT control, of which 80,144 without therapy.
The increasing prevalence of DM and changes in reimbursement conditions are reflected in the dynamic development of the distribution of diabetes care by individual specialties.
