      Attending Debre Berhan Referral Hospital, North-East Ethiopia: A Cross-Sectional 
      Study.

AB  - PURPOSE: Anemia is one of the common complications of diabetes mellitus (DM), 
      which has an adverse effect on the progression and development of other 
      diabetes-related complications. In spite of this, relatively little information 
      is available on the prevalence of anemia and associated factors among type 2 
      diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in Ethiopia, particularly in the study area. 
      Thus, this study assessed the prevalence of anemia and associated factors among 
      T2DM patients at Debre Berhan Referral Hospital (DBRH), North-East, Ethiopia. 
      PATIENTS AND METHODS: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 
      April 1 to May 30, 2019, among 249 T2DM patients with follow up at DBRH, selected 
      using a systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected by face-to-face 
      interviews, anthropometric measurements, and laboratory tests; such as hemoglobin 
      measurements, red blood indices, and serum creatinine analysis. The data were 
      coded and entered into Epi-data manager version 4.4.1.0, and analysis by using 
      SPSS version 22 was carried out. To identify the determinant factors of anemia, 
      bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. P-value 
      <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. RESULTS: The study showed 
      20.1% of the participants were anemic. Being age >60 years (AOR=3.06, 95% CI: 
      1.32-7.11), poor glycemic control (AOR=2.95, 95% CI: 1.22-7.15), eGFR 60-89.9 
      mL/min/1.73m(2) (AOR=2.91, 95% CI: 1.15-7.37), eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73m(2) 
      (AOR=6.58, 95% CI: 2.42-17.93), DM duration >10 years (AOR= AOR=2.75, 95% CI: 
      1.17-6.48), and having diabetic complications (AOR=3.81, 95% CI: 1.65-8.81) were 
      significantly associated with anemia. CONCLUSION: One out of five T2DM patients 
      had anemia. Poor glycemic control, decreased eGFR, presence of DM complications, 
      duration of DM >10 years, and age >60 years were significantly associated with 
      the occurrence of anemia among T2DM. Regular screening for anemia in all T2DM 
      patients may help in the early detection and management of anemia.
