BACKGROUND: @entity6 ( @entity6 ) is a global pandemic and its prevalence is rapidly increasing in developing countries, including Thailand. The most common comorbidity of @entity6 is @entity101 . @entity6 with a @entity101 comorbidity is likely to exacerbate the development of, or more severe microvascular complications. This study aims to determine the association between the @entity101 comorbidity and microvascular complication among @entity6 @entity1 in Thailand. METHODS: The present study is a nationwide, multicenter, cross-sectional survey of @entity6 outpatients across Thailand. Binary logistic mixed effect regression was used to investigate the effect of @entity101 and other risk factors on the presence of microvascular complications. Imputation was used to investigate potential bias introduced by missing values. RESULTS: Of the 55,797 @entity6 @entity1 included in our sample, 55.35% were @entity101 . Prevalence of microvascular complication diagnosis in the last 12 months was higher in @entity6 @entity1 with @entity101 than those without @entity101 (12.12% vs. 9.80%, respectively). @entity1 with a @entity101 comorbidity had 1.32 time the odds of developing microvascular complication (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.32; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.20 to 1.46; P<0.001). Older age, longer @entity6 duration had 1.07 and 1.21 times the odds of developing microvascular complication, per 10 years (age) and 5 years (duration), respectively (ORage, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.12; P<0.001; and ORduration, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.16; P<0.001; respectively). Minimal bias was introduced by missing values, and did not influence to the magnitude of effect of @entity101 on the presence microvascular complication. CONCLUSION: @entity101 comorbidity is highly associated with microvascular complication among @entity6 @entity1 . @entity1 with @entity6 and physicians should pay attention to blood pressure control.
