Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the compliance of HbA1c Test in registered diabetic patients of three selected PHC Centers of Makkah.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of medical records of registered Saudi patients with type 2 diabetes to know the compliance of HbA1c in three randomly selected MOH PHC Centers. Sample size calculated was 354 patients with confidence level of 95% and confidence interval of 5. Data was processed on Microsoft Excel and SPSS-23 software.

Results: Overall the age range was 21-79 (58) years and a mean of +/- SD of 56.67 +/- 11.97.Hb A1C test was done in 292 (82.48%) patients. Overall PHCs HbA1c compliance rate was 38.9%. The compliance at PHC Rusaifah, Zahraa and Jarwal was 47.5%, 41.3% and 17.6% respectively (p<0.001).
