The aim of this study was to determine the factors affecting the incidence of microvascular complications in newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes.PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study was conducted on 97 newly diagnosed type 2 DM patients who applied to Malatya Training and Research Hospital Endocrinology outpatient clinic between September 2021 and July 2022. The patient files were reviewed retrospectively and their age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), fasting/postprandial blood glucose measurements, serum HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglyceride, HbA1c levels, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and complications of retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy were recorded. Mann-Whitney U, t-test, Kruskal-Wallis, Binary logistic regression analy-sis, and Chi-square analysis were used to ana-lyze the data.RESULTS: The mean age of the patients included in the study was 47.40 +/- 7.78 (min: 23 -max: 62). Non-proliferative retinopathy was ob-served in 74.2% of patients, proliferative retinopathy in 25.8%, diffuse neuropathy in 49.5% and mononeuropathy was detected in 9.3% of them. Fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glu-cose and HbA1c values were found to be high-er in patients with proliferative retinopathy than in patients without retinopathy. Fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose and HbA1c values were found to be higher in patients with neuropathy than in patients without neuropa-thy. In addition, patients with mononeuropa-thy had statistically significantly higher HbA1c values than patients with diffuse-type neurop-athy. It was found that the urine protein val-ues of patients with mononeuropathy were sig-nificantly higher than those without neuropa-thy and those with diffuse neuropathy. Each 0.677-unit increase in HbA1c increases the risk of proliferative retinopathy 1.98-fold, and every 1.018-unit increase increases the risk of neu-ropathy 2.76-fold. Proliferative retinopathy and mononeuropathy rates were discovered to be higher in patients with a family history.CONCLUSIONS: Microvascular complications are common in newly diagnosed T2DM patients and an increase in HbA1c is a significant risk factor. Every newly diagnosed T2DM patient should be screened for microvascular complications.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessType 2 DMNephropathyNeuropathyRetinopathyArticle2741601160836876708WOS:001006037300018N/A
