Study of Severity of Diabetic Retinopathy with Duration of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Journal Title: International Journal Of Medical Science And Clinical Research Studies - Year 2023, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background:Chronic DM sequelae include microvascular complications like retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy as well as macrovascularconcerns including coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease. The most frequent long-term microvascular consequence of diabetes mellitus and a major contributor to vision impairment and blindness is diabetic retinopathy, which is also potentially preventable. In this study, an effort has been made to measure and detail the relationship between severity of diabetic retinopathy and duration of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Aim: The aim of the study was to correlate the severity of Diabetic Retinopathy with duration of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Materials and Methods:50 cases of type 2 DM were included in this study. Detailed history including age & sex of the patient, duration of diabetes, anterior segment and detailed fundus examination was carried out & grading of DR was done based on ETDRS (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study).Results:Out of all,35 patients were having some form of DR on presentation. The mean ages of mild, moderate, severe NPDR & PDR were 57.94±3.99, 59.82±5.28, 62.67±13.38, 68.33±3.33 years respectively. The mean duration for DM in the study for mild, moderate, severe NPDR and PDR were 7.17±1.98, 9.73±3.17, 13±3.06 & 21.33±9.33 years respectively.Conclusions:Severity of diabetic retinopathy was strongly associated with duration of type 2 DM.
