Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most prevalent infections among older people with T2DM. However, the association between geriatric T2DM and the risk of UTI has not been thoroughly researched and is still contentious. Consequently, this protocol describes a systematic review to pinpoint the primary risk factors for UTI among elderly T2DM. Our goal is to improve recommendations for the creation of targeted treatment interventions by examining risk factors for UTI in elderly individuals with T2DM.
