The study aims to assess hematological parameters and their associated factors among adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in comparison to healthy controls.
Conducted a comparative cross-sectional study with 266 participants (133 type 2 diabetic patients and 133 health controls)
Utilized questionnaires, checklists, and laboratory tests to collect data
Employed statistical methods including independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, and multivariable logistic regression for analysis
Significant differences in absolute neutrophil count, mean corpuscular volume, and mean platelet volume between type 2 diabetes patients and the control group (p < 0.05)
Anemia (31.6%) and leukocytosis (6.8%) were common hematological abnormalities in type 2 diabetes patients
Poor glycemic control correlated with anemia (AOR = 3.06, 95% CI: 1.06–8.8) and high systolic blood pressure with leukocytosis (AOR = 6.09, 95% CI: 1.09–33.9)
