dc.description.abstractAbstract: Introduction: The growing prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is a critical threat for global health, including in Nepal, especially in Kathmandu District, where diabetic patients are increasing in hospitals catastrophically. This study tends to assess the prevalence rate of type 2 diabetes among admitted patients visiting a hospital in Kathmandu. Methods: An electronic chart review was done to assess the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Nepal Police hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal. Ethical approval was taken from the Nepal Health Research Council. Considering eligibility criteria, 8631 cases from 4 May 2018 to 31 August 2020 were observed. The calculated sample size was 500. However, all diabetic cases, i.e., 576, were processed and analyzed using Python and later visualized using MS Excel. Results: The overall prevalence rate of type 2 diabetes was 6.67%. The prevalence rate was seen higher among males (7.5%). Similarly, a high prevalence rate was seen among 64-73 years, i.e., 15.10%. Conclusions: The findings showed a high prevalence rate of type 2 diabetes. Older age groups are at high risk. Urgent public health interventions including lifestyle modification measures are required to reduce the extra burden of type 2 diabetes.
