Background Urinary tract infection is the most common infection in type 2 diabetic patients. Various studies have reported different outbreaks of urinary tract infections in type 2 diabetic patients. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the prevalence of urinary tract infections in type 2 diabetic patients during a systematic review and meta-analysis in order to develop interventions to reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods In this study, systematic review and meta-analysis of study data related to the prevalence of urinary tract infection in type 2 diabetic patients were conducted using keywords including type 2 diabetes, urinary tract infection, diabetes, prevalence, meta-analysis and their English equivalents in SID, MagIran, IranMedex, IranDoc, Google Scholar, Cochrane, Embase, Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed and Web of Science (WoS) databases from 1993 to 2020. In order to perform the analysis of qualified studies, the model of random-effects was used, and the inconsistency of studies with the I2 index was investigated. Data analysis was performed with Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (Version 2). Results Based on a total of 15 studies with a sample size of 827,948 in meta-analysis, the overall prevalence of urinary tract infection in patients with type 2 diabetes was 11.5% (95% confidence interval: 7.8–16.7%). The prevalence of urinary tract infections in diabetic Iranian patients increased with increasing number of years of research, (p < 0.05), and with increasing age of participants (p < 0.05), but however the prevalence decreased with increasing sample size (p < 0.05). Conclusion This study shows that urinary tract infections are highly prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes. Therefore, due to the growing prevalence of diabetes and its complications such as urinary tract infections, the need for appropriate screening programs and health care policies is becoming more apparent.

Various studies have reported different outbreaks of urinary tract infections in type 2 diabetic patients, Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the prevalence of urinary tract infections in type 2 diabetic patients during a systematic review and meta-analysis to open windows to more detailed programs to reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods In this study, systematic review and Meta-Analysis of study data related to the prevalence of urinary tract infection in type 2 diabetic patients using keywords including: Type 2 diabetes, urinary tract infection, diabetes, prevalence, Meta-Analysis and their English equivalents in SID, MagIran, IranMedex, IranDoc, Google scholar, Cochrane, Embase, Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed and Web of Science (ISI) databases over the years It was mined from 1993 to 2020.In order to perform the analysis of qualified studies, the model of random effects was used and the inconsistency of studies with I2 index was investigated. Data analysis was performed with Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (version 2).

Increasing the number of years of research, the prevalence of urinary tract infections in diabetic patients of the Iranian type increased (P = 0.000), and with increasing age of participants (P = 0.000) and also with increasing sample size (P = 0.000), this prevalence decreased. Conclusion The results of this study show that urinary tract infections are highly prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes, so due to the growing prevalence of diabetes and its complications such as urinary tract infections, the need for appropriate screening programs and health care policies is becoming more apparent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
