Abstract

DIABETIC RETINOPATHY is a common complication of type II diabetes mellitus and carries with it the threat of blindness. Accurate information regarding the incidence of DIABETIC RETINOPATHY and associated RISK FACTORS is important in the prevention of its development and of the visual impairment caused by this complication. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of DIABETIC RETINOPATHY in newly diagnosed patients with type II diabetes mellitus. We have also evaluated the association of DIABETIC RETINOPATHY with clinical and biochemical variables. In a cross-sectional study, 152 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed type II diabetes mellitus were referred from two outpatient clinics in Tehran for ophthalmologic exam to detect retinopathy. Indirect ophthalmoscopy was performed and data regarding RISK FACTORS were extracted from routine medical records. Chi square and Mann Whitney U tests were used to analyze the data. The overall prevalence of DIABETIC RETINOPATHY was 13.8 % (21 cases): three cases with microaneurysm only, 10 with mild, 5 with moderate and 2 with severe non proliferative DIABETIC RETINOPATHY. Only one patient had advanced proliferative retinopathy. The prevalence of DIABETIC RETINOPATHY was positively associated with age, duration of disease, fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c, and systolic blood pressure. DIABETIC RETINOPATHY is common in newly diagnosed type II diabetes mellitus patients. Ophthalmologic consultation is essential at the time of diagnosis for all patients.
