Abstract

Diabetes has been a rising health burden universally. It is defined as a group of metabolic disorders that result in high serum glucose levels which can be caused by a deficiency of insulin or a defect in its action. Cardiovascular complication is the main cause of death in the diabetic population. Of which, dyslipidemia is the principal factor associated with cardiovascular disease in the T2DM population. However, early detection and treatment of dyslipidemia in T2DM patients can prevent the progression of dyslipidemia & minimize the risk of CVS disease-related morbidity and death significantly. And for there is a paucity of data on the magnitude of dyslipidemia & associated factors among T2DM patients in Ethiopia, we conducted an institution-based cross-sectional analytic study at SPHMMC endocrinology clinic from January 1 to February 28 2022 G.C. The data for the study is collected by a structured checklist and it is entered, cleaned & analyzed using SPSS version 26.0. Descriptive analyses like frequency distribution, proportion and dispersion were calculated. And the finding is presented using frequency tables, graphs, and charts. Both univariate and multivariate analyses were done. The OR with 95% CI was used to show the strength of the association and a P value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. In the study, a total of 270 type 2 DM patients were enrolled and all of them were included in the analysis. The magnitude of dyslipidemia revealed from the study was 93.7%. Out of those who have dyslipidemia, 13.7%, 64.8%, 70% and 34.8% of the participants had high TC, low HDL, high LDL and high triglyceride levels, respectively. In multiple regression analysis, only sex showed statistical significance at p-value < 0.05. The odds of having dyslipidemia was 7-fold increased (AOR=95% CI (1.251-43.421)) in type 2 DM patients. As a conclusion, the magnitude of dyslipidemia was found to be 93.7% of the total participants which is higher than most of the studies which were done inside and outside Ethiopia. And being female was associated with a risk of developing dyslipidemia. Thus, health professionals should screen and monitor dyslipidemia in all type 2 DM patients especially females.
