Diabetic retinopathy is a serious complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina, leading to nutritional disorders. In Central Java Province, the prevalence of diabetes mellitus increased from 10% in 2022 to 12.52% in the third quarter of 2023; this phenomenon has not reached the SDG's target of zero increase. This study analyzes the frequency distribution of diabetic retinopathy cases at RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang in 2023. Using a cross-sectional design, this observational descriptive research utilized electronic medical record data from RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang in 2023.
