Incidence of diabetes retinopathy and determinants of time to diabetes retinopathy among diabetes patients at Tikur Anbessa Hospital, Ethiopia: a retrospective follow up study

Article scientifique 2018 Anglais

Résumé

OBJECTIVE: Data regarding diabetes retinopathy and associated factors are currently lacking in Ethiopia. The study aims to determine the incidence and determinants of time to diabetes retinopathy among diabetes mellitus patients at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. RESULTS: The incidence of diabetes retinopathy is a rapidly growing burden of disease in Ethiopia. The incidence rate of diabetes retinopathy was 2.65 (95% CI 2. 54, 4.05) per 1000 person-years observation. Moreover, 70 (18.57%, 95% CI 14.63, 22.5) DM patients developed diabetes retinopathy. The median time was 74.07 months (with IQR 53.60, 89.88). Male sex (AHR = 1.94, 95% CI = 1.10, 3.39), type 2 DM (AHR = 4.01, 95% CI = 1.34, 12.00), creatinine (AHR = 2.59, 95% CI = 1.91, 3.52), borderline triglyceride (AHR = 2.87, 95% CI 1.33, 6.21) and high triglyceride levels (AHR = 2.59, 95% CI = 1.31, 4.97) were positively correlated factors to diabetes retinopathy occurrence. Multisectoral, population-based approaches are needed to reduce type 2 DM complications.
