The prevalence and contributing variables of urinary tract infections among patients with diabetes mellitus in the medical ward at Al-Kwait University Hospital in Sana'a, Yemen, were evaluated as part of the study. Materials and Methods: In this cross-section study, 454 DM patients, referred to the medical ward at Al-Kwait university hospital clinics in Sana'a, Yemen. A urine culture was performed by collecting a clean, sterile urine sample (midstream urine) then culturing it, and isolating and identifying the causative bacteria. For collecting data, a standard questionnaire was used that included clinical, demographic, and risk factor information of UTI in DM. Results: The mean patient age was 48.2 years, with 73.1% being ≥ 40 years old. The crude prevalence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in diabetic patients was 21.8%, higher in males (27.03%) than females (17.6%). The highest prevalence was in age groups 30-39 years (48.2%) and 20-29 years (47.4%), while the lowest was in those ≥ 40 years (16.3%) and under 20 years (19.2%). Common pathogens included Escherichia coli (42.3%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (34%). Conclusion: The study concluded that 99/454 (21.8%) of diabetic patients had urinary tract infections (UTIs). Therefore, the study recommends providing health education to diabetic patients about the causes of UTIs and how to prevent them.                     Peer Review History: Received 7 October 2025;   Reviewed 14 November 2025; Accepted  13 December; Available online 15 January 2026 Academic Editor:  Dr. A.A.
