Prevalence and Predictors of Urinary Tract Infections Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Attending Primary Health Care Centers in Buraidah City, Saudi Arabia

Nearly two-thirds (67.9%, n=197) had UTIs among patients with T2DM, with frequent and burning micturition as key symptoms. The predictors of UTI among patients with T2DM were major risk factors of cervicitis and Foley catheter use, while education and income showed no impact. The study highlights the need for early diagnosis of UTI, improved antibiotic adherence, and management strategies, including glycemic control, to reduce UTI risks.
