Objective To explore the application effect of the new in-hospital blood glucose management model for patients with stroke and diabetes mellitus during the epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019.Methods A total of 120 patients with stroke and diabetes mellitus who were admitted to Mianyang Central Hospital and were consulted by the Department of Endocrinology between October 1st 2019 and April 12th 2020 were recruited. Patients who used the traditional consultation model for blood glucose management between October 1st 2019 and January 19th 2020 were classified as the control group (60 cases). Patients who were managed by the virtual ward of remote blood glucose management combined with the video consultation mode between January 20th 2020 and April 12th 2020 were classified as the observation group (60 cases). The basic conditions, the time to reach target blood glucose, the completion time of the consultation, the accuracy of blood glucose related data, the satisfaction rate of the consultation, the rate of reaching target blood glucose, the incidence of hypoglycemia, the blood glucose fluctuation (standard deviation of blood glucose level, maximum blood glucose fluctuation range), the incidence of nosocomial infections, diabetes mellitus diagnosis and treatment related expenses, and average hospitalization expenses of the two groups were compared.Results There was no significant difference in the basic conditions between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). The time to reach target blood glucose [(5.38±2.16) vs. (8.18±2.63) d], completion time ofthe consultation [(4.33±1.51) vs. (17.97±3.23) h], incidence of hypoglycemia (6.67% vs. 21.67%), standard deviation of blood glucose level [(2.16±0.34) vs. (2.52±0.34) mmol/L] and maximum blood glucose fluctuation range [(5.72±1.36) vs. (6.34±1.51) mmol/L] of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, the accuracy rate of blood glucose related data (100.00% vs. 83.33%), satisfaction rate of the consultation (93.33% vs. 73.33%) and rate of reaching target blood glucose (88.33% vs. 70.00%) of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of nosocomial infections, diabetes mellitus diagnosis and treatment related expenses, or average hospitalization expenses between the two groups of patients (P>0.05).Conclusion During the epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019, the combined video consultation model of remote blood glucose virtual ward for patients with stroke and diabetes mellitus has a good application effect, which has certain feasibility and clinical promotion value.
