Keywords:
Diabetic retinopathy, Prevalence, Risk FactorAbstract
Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy is a diabetes complication that affects eyes and can cause blindness. The objective of this research was to determine the prevalence and risk factors for diabetic retinopathy.
Methodology: A total of 760 diabetes patients were examined from March 2021 to July 2021 and diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy by ophthalmologists. Data included gender, age, body weight, height, last fasting blood sugar, history of hypertension and stage of diabetic retinopathy. Descriptive statistics was employed to analyze the incidence of diabetic retinopathy and Chi-square test and ANOVA were employed to analyze risk factors.
Results: 74.3% of the patients were females. The average age was 63.8 years (SD = 12). 194 cases (25.5%) were found to have Diabetic retinopathy, and NPDR and PDR were found in 184 (24.2%) and 10 cases (1.3%), respectively. Blood sugar level was a major risk factor for diabetic retinopathy (P = 0.042).
Conclusion: As blood sugar level was a major risk factor for diabetic retinopathy, careful control of blood sugar is suggested as an important therapeutic measure in the management of long-term diabetes to reduce the risk of diabetic retinopathy.
