The study aims to assess the incidence and identify predictors of diabetic retinopathy among patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
Retrospective follow-up study involving 600 patients from 2014 to 2023.
Data analyzed using STATA version 17 and relevant statistical models.
Follow-up time had a median of 85.2 months.
Overall incidence density of diabetic retinopathy was 5.16 per 1,000 person-months (95% CI 4.33–6.14).
Poor glycemic control increased the hazard of diabetic retinopathy (AHR = 1.87, 95% CI [1.66, 2.31]).
Interventions such as injection medication decreased the hazard (AHR = 0.24, 95% CI [0.18, 0.31]).
