Prevalence of Diabetic Retinopathy in Known Diabetics with Macro Vascular Complications
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Patients with macrovascular complications were included for the study. 44 individuals were positive for diabetic retinopathy and 56 individuals had no evident retinopathy. Of 16 diabetic patients 2 had diabetic retinopathy and 66 had duration of diabetes of 10.1 – 20 years, among whom 27 individuals had retinopathy. 18 individuals had duration of diabetes of 20.1- 30 years, among whom 15 individuals had diabetic retinopathy. The values suggest a rise in incidence of retinopathy with increased duration of diabetes. Also a positive association is observed in the prevalence of macrovascular complications and diabetic retinopathy in the study group. No positive association was obtained between duration of diabetes and macrovascular complications in patients without retinopathy, suggestive of other factors involved in pathogenesis which would include hypertension, hyperlipidemia. A positive association was obtained between duration of diabetes and macrovascular complications in patients.
