| dc.description.abstract | Background: Anemia is the most common blood disorder and common complications ofDiabetes mellitus. It is also a global public health problem affecting both developing anddeveloped countries with major consequences for human health, social and economicdevelopment. In Ethiopia, chronic illnesses are tremendously rising with their complications, butvery little research has been conducted, particularly on anemia among type two diabetic Mellituspatients. Therefore, this study aimed at assessing the prevalence of anemia and associated factorsamong type 2 Adult diabetic mellitus patients attending Ambo town government hospitals inwest shewa, Ethiopia. Method: A Hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted on type two Adult diabeticMellitus patients for a routine checkup from September - October 2020 at Ambo towngovernment hospitals by using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected byface-to-face interviews, administered questionnaires, and other biological samples such as bloodand urine from 356 patients. Data was entered to EPI-info and exported to the SPSS softwarepackage for further analysis, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were fitted;crude odds ratio and adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval were computed. In allcases, P-value less than 0.05 is taken as statistically significant. Results: The study showed that 27.5 % of participants were anemic. Out of anemic type twodiabetic Mellitus patients, 92 (92.9%) and 7 (7.1%) had mild and moderate anemia, respectively.Having nephropathy (AOR = 6.2, CI: 1.82, 21.16), being male (AOR = 4.32, CI: 1.09, 517.03),duration of diabetes for 5 years and greater (AOR = 4.42, CI: 1.27, 15.45) and having high serumcreatinine (AOR=10.07, CI: 2.89, 35.2) were all significantly associated with anemia. Conclusion and Recommendation: The magnitude of anemia was 27.5% among type twodiabetic Mellitus patients in the study area. Therefore, routine screening of anemia for all typetwo diabetic Mellitus patients aiding in early identification and improved management ofdiabetes will lead to improved quality of life in this patient population. | en_US |
