Objective: To assess glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) seen in live consultation or remote consultation, and to identify factors associated with variations in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values. Materials and methods: We did a retrospective cohort study that included patients >18 years old who were seen in live consultation or remote consultation because of DM in Alberto Sabogal-Sologuren National Hospital, during June 2021. Clinical data from electronic clinical records were obtained, including baseline and at 11-month follow-up HbA1c values. We used Poisson regression with robust variance for calculating relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), for identifying factors associated with ≥0.5 HbA1c variations during follow-up. Results: Four-hundred and sixteen patients were included, their mean age was 62 years, 57.2% were female, and 68.5% had remote ...
