| Abstract | Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a serious metabolic disease that is often associated with vascular complications. The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus poses significant public health challenges, particularly in Low and Middle-Income Countries where healthcare resources are often limited. In Africa, the burden of T2DM is rising rapidly, leading to a consequential increase in macrovascular complications such as cardiovascular disease and stroke. These complications not only affect the quality of life but also significantly contribute to morbidity and mortality among affected individuals. The main objective of this study was to assess the time to development of macrovascular complications and identify its predictors among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in Jimma University medical center from 2018–2022. Methods Institutional-based retrospective follow-up study was conducted in Jimma University Medical Center among newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus patient from 2018, to 2022. A systematic sampling technique was used to recruit 452 records of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. The Kaplan–Meier curve and the log-rank tests were used to determine the time to macro-vascular complications, and evaluate the significant difference in survival probability among predictors respectively. The overall goodness of the Cox proportional hazard model was checked by Cox-Snell residuals. Bivariable and multivariable cox-proportional hazard regression were used to identify the association between the variables and survival time. Results The median survival time to development of macro vascular complications was 24 months. Urban residence [(Adjusted hazard ratio = 2.02; 95% CI: (1.33, 3.05)], having hypertension at start of diabetic treatment [(AHR = 1.52; 95% CI: (1.06, 2.13)], baseline age ≥ 60 years [(AHR = 4.42; 95% CI: (1.72, 11.29)], having dyslipidemia at baseline [(AHR = 1.82; 95% CI: (1.13, 2.93)], High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels < 40 mg/dl [(AHR = 2.11; (1.16, 3.81)], triglycerides > 150 mg/dl [(AHR = 1.48; 95% CI:( 1.02, 2.13)], Hemoglobin A1C level > 7% [(AHR = 1.49; 95% CI: (1.04, 2.14)], and Oral hypoglycemic agents + insulin [(AHR = 2.73; 95% CI: (1.81, 4.09)] were the significant predictors of the time to development of macro vascular complications. Conclusion Findings in this study indicated that the median time to development of macro vascular complications among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients was 24 months. Baseline age category in years, residence, presence of hypertension, presence of dyslipidemia, High density lipoprotein-cholesterol level < 40 mg/dl, triglyceride > 150 mg/dl, HgbA1C > 7% at baseline, and medication regimens were identified as independent significant predictors of the time to development of macro vascular complications among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. The findings call attention to the role of treatment regimens, particularly the use of combination therapies involving oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin, which were associated with increased hazards for complications. High incidence of macrovascular complications within a short follow-up period underscores the need for proactive, individualized care strategies in T2DM management. By focusing on early identification of at-risk patients and tailoring treatment plans accordingly, healthcare providers can potentially improve outcomes and reduce the burden of macro vascular complications in this population. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
