Abstract
Background: Soft tissue rheumatism, including conditions such as adhesive capsulitis and carpal tunnel syndrome, is prevalent in diabetic patients, exacerbated by chronic hyperglycemia. Understanding the incidence of these conditions is crucial for effective management.
Objective: To determine the incidence and distribution of different types of soft tissue rheumatism in patients with diabetes mellitus.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 322 diabetic patients from the Rheumatology Department of Federal Government Polyclinic Hospital, Islamabad. Participants were selected through non-probability convenient sampling. Comprehensive musculoskeletal examinations were conducted to diagnose soft tissue rheumatic conditions. Data, including demographic details and clinical history, were analyzed using SPSS version 25. Descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation test were applied.
Results: The mean age of participants was 53.93±9.03 years, and the mean BMI was 25.73±4.25 kg/m². The most common conditions were adhesive capsulitis (22.51%), plantar fasciitis (17.74%), and tenosynovitis (16.15%). No significant correlation was found between soft tissue rheumatism and HbA1c levels, gender, or diabetes duration.
Conclusion: Soft tissue rheumatism is prevalent among diabetic patients, significantly impacting their quality of life. Routine musculoskeletal assessments are recommended for early detection and management.
