įollowing the increase number of type 2 DM, its microvascular complication is rising proportionally and substantially. Adequate data on tendencies of microvascular diabetes complications and other evolving complications are lacking and so that conclusions are incomplete. Morbidity and mortality in chronic diabetes mellitus is now common that is more than four million people aged 20–79 years were estimated to die from diabetes related complications. In other words, nearly 1 in every 11 adults has diabetes globally, of which more than 3/4th is type 2 DM. The disorder is also predicted to 578 million in 2030 and inflated to 700 million by the year 2045. It is about 422 million people have diabetes mellitus worldwide, and low-and middle-income countries are majorly the victims. Since few decades, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes has increase radically in all countries of the globe. Nowadays, the number of peoples living with diabetes increases rapidly and the disease become pandemic. Diabetes burden has been rising more rapidly in low and middle income countries than in high income countries, which is attributed to the effect of globalization, life style modification (change in diet type and pattern) and physical inactivity (being obese). ĭiabetes mellitus (DM), commonest metabolic illness, is one of the major public health concern worldwide. The time to develop microvascular complications is much faster and common than macrovascular complication. Microvascular complications are sequels of diabetes mellitus following uncontrolled chronic hyperglycemia which includes diabetic nephropathy, neuropathy and retinopathy, that are caused by pathological changes in capillaries. Health workers should give emphasis for diabetes mellitus through early screening and health education, abrupt medication for aged patients with long duration of diabetes mellitus, and hypertension, and also early detection and management of microvascular complication. Increasing the age of participants, longer duration of diabetes mellitus and co-morbid hypertension were independent predictors. In this study, diabetic microvascular complications are prevalent. These were retinopathy 24.8%, nephropathy 16.1%, and neuropathy 8.1%. One hundred and twenty-seven of diabetes mellitus had at least one microvascular complications. Three hundred and thirty-five type 2 DM patients participated in the study, of which 54.6% were males. After running multivariable regression, variables with a p-value ≤ 0.05 were declared as statistically significant. Binary logistic regression was done to select potential variables to be adjusted at p ≤ 0.25. Data was entered into Epi-Data 3.1 and exported to SPSS-23 for analysis. We used simple random sampling to recruit study participants and pre-tested interviewer administered questionnaire to collect the data. MethodsĬross-sectional study was conducted from February to March 2020 at Dessie town hospitals. Hence, this study aimed to assess prevalence of microvascular complications and its predictors among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. In Ethiopia, there is paucity data regarding this topic. Microvascular complications include retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy all of which can lead to disability, dependency, accelerate their morbidity, and mortality. Diabetes mellitus is a serious metabolic disorder which becomes common in middle and low incomes countries since few decades.
