SEVERITY OF DIABETIC RETINOPATHY AND SUBFOVEAL SEROUS RETINAL DETACHMENT
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 15
Abstract
PURPOSE: To determine the Prevalence of subfoveal serous retinal detachment in diabetic Macular oedema among Indians, ascertain the relationship between serous retinal detachment (SRD) and severity of diabetic retinopathy and to study the demographic profile of these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective single centre analysis of all patients with Diabetic macular oedema who received intravitreal Bevacizumab for diabetic macular oedema at the retina clinic between January 2013 to June 2014. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of serous retinal detachment in diabetic retinopathy was 40%. The average central macular thickness of patients having subfoveal SRD was 586.2 microns. Statistically significant higher mean CMT was found in patient with PDR having SRD (p value 0.018) over those with NPDR. Higher prevalence of SRD was noted among men (p value 0.036). CONCLUSION: Higher prevalence of serous retinal detachment (SRD) was seen in proliferative diabetic retinopathy with a higher prevalence among Indian population with male preponderance.
