Clinical inertia and treatment intensification among patients with type ii diabetes mellitus at Debre Tabor comprehensive specialized hospital, Ethiopia: an institutional-based cross-sectional study
One-third of patients experienced clinical inertia. Age, glycemic control, medication non-adherence, treatment fee, and number of medications were found to be strongly correlated with clinical inertia. More precise knowledge of the clinical inertia and the associated therapies is necessary to tackle this issue more effectively.
