Background and objective: Initial data from 15th November 2012 to 31st July 2015 indicated that there were 610 patients diagnosed with complicated non communicable diseases (NCDs), with 237 patients – accounting for 38.85 percent – whose NCD can be controlled to specific criteria. This study aimed to evaluate the factors leading to successful control of NCDs.
Methods: This was a descriptive study in patients treated during 1st August 2015 to 31st July 2017. Randomized studying 408 patient records and interviewing – both over the phone and in person during home visiting.
Results: Random 199 patients there were diabetes mellitus 75 patients, hypertension 63 patients, dyslipidemia 56 patients and miscellaneous 5 patients. The three largest factors leading to successful control of NCDs were close care of the patient (OR 5.0, 95%CI 3.2 – 7.8), patient knowledge and outlook in studying the disease and medicine (OR 4.7, 95%CI 2.7 – 8.0), and proper storage of medicine (OR 2.5, 95%CI 1.6 - 4.0).
Conclusion : Three factors leading to successful control of NCDs are close care of the patient, patient’s knowledge and study in diseases and medication, and proper storage of medicine.
