Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 11
Abstract
Aim: To study the relationship between glycaemic control and the onset, progression and severity of diabetic retinopathy in diabetic individuals 2 Patients And Methods: The present study was done from june 2017 to august 2017 on 100 patients having diabetic retinopathy who attended the OPD of Ophthalmology, GGH, Guntur. Retinopathy will be assessed by retinal examination with Direct/Indirect Ophthalmoscopy, Fundus photography, Fundus flourescin angiography (FFA), B- Scan ultrasonography and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Staging of retinopathy will be determined basing on the ETDRS (Early treatment diabetic retinopathy study) which is the standard classification system accepted world over. HbA1C will be measured by standardized assay high performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS: Out of 100 patients in the study the mean age of Diabetes Mellitus is 60.24 +-7.82 years. Male to female ratio is 1.38:1. Mean duration of diabetes is 16.47+-5.32 years. The mean of HbA1c in the study population was 9.16+- 1.42. The present study constituted 13% mild NPDR, 48% moderate NPDR, 24% severe NPDR, 11% PDR and 4% high risk PDR. The severity of Diabetic Retinopathy is increased with increased levels of HbA1c and duration of Diabetes Mellitus. Conclusion: Increased HbA1c levels are associated with increased severity of diabetic retinopathy
