OBJECTIVE To examine the association of A1C levels and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) with diabetic retinopathy in the U.S. population and to compare the ability of the two glycemic measures to discriminate between people with and without retinopathy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This study included 1,066 individuals aged >or=40 years from the 2005-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination ...

The magnitude of diabetic retinopathy, its determinants, and coverage of laser treatment for diabetic retinopathy among registered people with diabetes in Oman are presented. 2249 randomly selected subjects representing 5564 registered diabetics were examined. WHO recommended definitions of diabetes, retinopathy, and other related conditions were used. Physicians reported the profile of the dia...

INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with serious complications including macro- and microvascular problems such as diabetic retinopathy. Coronary involvement in diabetic patients is believed to be a consequence of microvascular complications. However, the available data are inconclusive and scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the probable association between diabetic retinopathy ...

Two hundred and seventeen diabetic patients attending the eye clinic were examined to determine the prevalence of retinal changes, and the association between diabetic retinopathy and risk factors. A detailed fundus examination was done, after dilating the pupils, using 90 D lens and slitlamp biomicroscope. Diabetic retinopathy was detected in 112 patients (51.6%). Background retinopathy was se...

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an eye disease caused by disease, diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a microvascular complication that occurs in people with diabetes that causes abnormalities in the retina and can both cause blindness. This study was conducted to build an application that can automatically classify Diabetic Retinopathy in accordance with level, ie normal, non-proliferate diabe...

INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to describe the prevalence and risk factors for diabetic retinopathy in a multi-ethnic diabetic patient cohort referred for retinal evaluation from a nationwide diabetic retinopathy screening programme in Singapore. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seven hundred and forty-two patients, aged 21 to 95, referred for suspected diabetic retinopathy on annual one-field no...

PURPOSE To investigate retinal changes prior to vascular signs in patients with type 2 diabetes without diabetic retinopathy or with mild non proliferative diabetic retinopathy. METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed in three groups: patients without diabetes, patients with type 2 diabetes without diabetic retinopathy, and patients with diabetes with mild diabetic retinopathy. Analysis...

OBJECTIVES (a) To report on the basic parameters of retinal blood flow in a population of diabetic patients with and without retinopathy and non-diabetic controls; (b) to formulate a haemodynamic model for the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy from this and other studies. DESIGN Laser-Doppler velocimetry and computerised image analysis to determine retinal blood flow in a large cross secti...

This study aims to evaluate the risk indicators of diabetic retinopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes screened by fundus photographs at a tertiary care diabetes centre in Tenali, AP, INDIA. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the outpatient department of MAMATHA HOSPITAL, TENALI, from October 2015 to March 2016. Patients >30 years of age were recruited randomly. Demographic, anthropomet...

OBJECTIVE The Veterans Affairs Diabetes Trial (VADT) cohort is enriched with approximately 20% Hispanics and 20% African Americans, affording a unique opportunity to study ethnic differences in retinopathy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Cross-sectional analyses on the baseline seven-field stereo fundus photos of 1,283 patients are reported here. Diabetic retinopathy scores are grouped into four...
