Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disorder in which a relative or supreme insulin insufficiency influences the digestion of lipids, starches and proteins One of the most important microvascular complications of DM is diabetic retinopathy (DR), which is the leading cause of blindness. The objectives of the present study were to estimate the incidence of and risk factors for the development of diabetic retinopathy in Diabetic patients. Material and methods: We reviewed health care claims database records to identify all patients who were recently determined to have DM and experienced no less than one eye exam by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. A formerly approved calculation was connected to portray every young with Type 1 or Type 2 DM. Next, we recognized the patients who created diabetic retinopathy. Amid the follow-up time of 5.1 years, 149 diabetic patients, 88 male and 61 female were analyzed. The mean age of the participants was 27.05 years with a mean duration of diabetes of 5.7 years at initial registration. Epidemiological risk factors were as follows:, age at DM diagnosis, hypertension, duration of DM and smoking etc. Result: Among the 149 subjects, 67 with newly-diagnosed Type 1 DM and 82 with Type 2 DM, 39 (26.17%) developed retinopathy. The number of patients with Type 1 DM and Type 2 DM who developed retinopathy was 15(10.06%) and 24 (16.1%) and respectively. Conclusion: Patients with type 2 DM attending an out-patient clinic had a high incidence of DR associated with traditional riskfactors. Physicians should be encouraged to pay greater attention to treatment protocols for T2 DM in patients.
