Abstract

A recent study put the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy globally at 34.6%. Risk factors for diabetic retinopathy are widely known the condition's prevalence in industrialised countries has been extensively studied. On the other hand, little is known regarding the prevalence and risk factors of diabetic retinopathy in individuals with type 2 diabetes in the research regions. All adult patients with diabetes who visited the diabetic clinic and Comprehensive Specialised Hospitals throughout the data collecting period made up the study population. Each large, specialty hospital provides care for three to five million patients. Compared to females, the risks of developing diabetic retinopathy were 4.25 times higher [AOR = 4.21, 95% CI (2.80, 7.68)]. Individuals with a monthly visitation schedule for their diabetes condition had a 98% [AOR = 0.028, 95% CI (0.004, 0.254)] lower risk of developing diabetic retinopathy compared to patients with a six‐month visitation schedule. In contrast to those with a diploma and above, the chances of having no education were 5.21 times higher [AOR = 6.20 95% CI (2.08, 17.48)]. Less than half of the diabetic participants in this research developed diabetic retinopathy. Sex, educational attainment, glycemic control, visiting health facilities status of hypertension were all significantly linked to diabetic retinopathy.
