“…This study showed that the odds of developing DR were higher in diabetic patients with a family history of diabetes. This is similar to studies conducted in Arbaminch [13] and China [31]. Finding from Southwest of Ethiopia showed diabetic patients who had family history diabetes were three-times more susceptible to the development of micro vascular complications like DR [12].…”

“…Similar findings were reported in various countries. According to the cohort study done in Arbaminch General hospital [13], the possibility of developing DR was almost seven times higher among patients who were 60 and above years than their counterparts. A study from England [5], Armenia [21] and United States [22] also showed that older age was strongly associated with the occurrence of diabetic retinopathy.…”

“…An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from participants using the local language (Afan Oromo language). The questionnaire was developed after reviewing different kinds of literature [7,[12][13][14][15][16][17] (Additional file 1). The consistency of the questionnaire prepared in English translated into the local language (Afan Oromo) and back translating to English to check the consistency.…”

Background: Diabetic Retinopathy is one of the serious complications patients' diabetic patients suffer from. Little is known about which risk factors are associated with this complication. The aim of this study was therefore to identify determinants of Diabetic Retinopathy in Jimma University Medical Center. Methods: A facility-based case-control study was conducted. Cases were Diabetic patients with diabetic retinopathy and who were on follow up at the Jimma University Medical Center while controls were Diabetic patients but free of diabetic retinopathy and who were on follow up at the Jimma University Medical Center. Cases and controls were identified and 311 of them were recruited using systematic random sampling. Data were entered into the Epi-Data version 4.1 and analyzed using SPSS Version 20. Binary Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify determinants of diabetic retinopathy. Result: A total of 106 cases and 205 controls diabetic participated in the study. Being ≥60 years of age (AOR = 5.04,95%CI:

Binary Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify determinants of diabetic retinopathy. Result: A total of 106 cases and 205 controls diabetic participated in the study. Being ≥60 years of age (AOR=5.04,95%CI: 1.83,13.87),being illiterate (AOR=7.17, 95% CI: 2.61,19.7), poor adherence to medication (AOR =3: 95% CI: 1.29,6.95),having high systolic blood pressure (AOR=3.38:95% CI: 1.26,9.05), having family history of Diabetes Mellitus (AOR=3.95: 95% CI: 1.64,9.54), having other micro vascular complications (AOR=3.76,95% CI: 1.33,10.66), poor glycemic control (AOR=9.08, 95%CI: 3.7,22.29), poor cholesterol control (AOR= 0.21, 95%CI: 0.08,0.51) and being anaemic (AOR= 2.8, 95%CI: 1.05,7.47) were the independent determinants of diabetic retinopathy. Conclusion: This study found that poor adherence to medication, being at the age of 60 years and above, being illiterate patients, having high systolic blood pressure, having a family history of Diabetes Mellitus, having other micro vascular complication, poor glycemic control, poor cholesterol control and being anemic patient were the independent determinants of diabetic retinopathy. Therefore, more attention should be given to older age and illiterate patients. Giving more emphasis for patients poorly adhered to anti-diabetic medications and giving advice for diabetic patients with high systolic blood pressure to follow their blood pressure regularly are also vital. Diabetic patients should also control their Blood sugar and blood cholesterol levels to prevent diabetic retinopathy or reduce its further complications.

This study aimed to assess changes in fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels, time to diabetic retinopathy (DR) and its predictors among type 2 diabetes patients in Ethiopia. An institution-based retrospective follow-up study was conducted at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. The linear mixed effect model and Cox proportional hazard models were fitted separately, and later, the two models were fitted jointly using R software. Variables with a p value < 0.05 were considered significant predictors in the adjusted analysis. The incidence rate of DR was 2 per 100-person year of observation with a median follow-up time of 90.8 months (IQR 63.4). The current value and rate of change in FBS level were significant predictors of time to DR (AHR = 1.35; 95% CI 1.12–1.63) and (AHR = 1.70; 95% CI 1.21–2.39), respectively. Hypertension (AHR = 2.49; 95% CI 1.32–4.66), taking > 1 antidiabetic oral agent (AHR = 4.90; 95% CI 1.07–20.0) and more than 10 years duration (AHR = 0.17, 95% CI 0.06–0.46) were predictors of time to DR. This study revealed that the current value of FBS and the rate of FBS change were significantly associated with the time to DR.
