Incidence and predictors of chronic kidney diseases among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at St. Paul’s Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Abstract

Abstract Objective This study aimed to estimate the incidence of chronic kidney disease and its predictors among newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients attending St. Paul’s Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Results The overall incidence of chronic kidney disease was a major public health issue among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with 2178 (95% CI 12,801, 21,286) cases per 10,000 patient-months. Moreover, 62(14.25%) patients in the sample experienced chronic kidney disease. Old age [adjusted hazard ratio (AHR) = 1.06, 95%CI 1.03, 1.09], no diabetic retinopathy [AHR = 0.13, 95%CI 0.07–0.24], high density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥ 40 mg/dl [AHR = 0.55, 95%CI 0.31, 0.97] and high body mass index [AHR = 1.17, 95%CI 1.1, 1.25] were common factors for chronic kidney diseases.
