Objective To estimate the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in residents at the age of ge; 60 years in Beixinjing blocks, Shanghai, and to analyze the changes and risk factors of the occurrence of DR while comparing with the previous epidemiology study in the same blocks in 2003.Methods With the help of an established resident health data,a epidemiology study was performed on all of the old residents (ge; 60 years old) with diabetes mellitus from November 2007 to April 2008.The epidemiology data included resident common information, health check, examination of visual acuity,slitlamp biomicroscopy, direct ophthalmoscopy, and photography of 2 pictures covering 450 posterior ocular fundus area acquired by digital nonmydriasis fundus camera. The diagnosis of DR was drawn according to the international DR classification (2002). The DR grade was compared in 254 residents who were involved in both of the two epidemiology studies in 2003 and 2007.Chisquare method was used to analyze the risk factors of DR and stepwise logistic analysis was used for identifying the independent factors.Results A total of 483 diabetic residents was included in this study with the inclusion rate of 91.30%, in whom 121 DR patients was found with the DR prevalence of 25.05％. The prevalence of non-proliferative DR and proliferative DR was 22.36% and 2.69%, respectively. The duration of diabetes was confirmed as the independent risk factor of DR prevalence, and no risk factor was found to affect the different ratio of non-proliferative and proliferative DR. Comparing to the results of the study in 2003,the DR grade remained steadily or decreased in 92.52% of the 254 diabetes residents.Conclusion The prevalence of DR is high in the diabetic residents at the age of ge; 60 years.The intervention work of DR prevention in Beixinjing blocks is effective.
Objective To estimate the prevalence rate and risk factors of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in rural residents in Shandong．Methods A total of 16 330 residents in 8 counties in Shandong province underwent the screening of diabetes by multistage randomized clustersampling; while the standard of diagnosis of diabetes was in accordance with the WHO standard (1990). Diabetes was diagnosed in 707 residents who then underwent questionnaire survey and examinations of fasting bloodglucose，urine protein, visual acuity, slitlamp microscope, and direct opthalmoscope. The standard of DR screening was drawn according to the international DR classification (2002). The data were statistically analyzed with SPSS 11.5 software. Results In 16 330 residents,707 were with diabetes (4.33%), 26.30% of them (181 cases) had DR (1.11% of all the residents). Multivariable analysis showed that kidney damage, hypertension and high blood glucose were the risk factors for DR; while the age, sex, and family history were not related much to DR. Conclusion The prevalence rate of DR in rural residents of Shandong is high. Kidney involvement, hypertension and high blood glucose are the risk factors of DR.
Objective To estimate the prevalence rate and risk factors of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in rural residents in Changzhi. Methods With the help of an established resident health data, a epidemiology study was performed on 63 409 residents (ge;15 years old) in the rural area of Changzhi; while the standard of diagnosis of diabetes was in accordance with the standard made by WHO in 1997. Diabetes was diagnosed in 2632 residents, and these patients underwent the investigation and examination including the disease history, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose, visual acuity, ocular diseases and intraocular pressure. The standard of DR was drawn according to the diagnosis standard made by Chinese Ocular Fundus Diseases Society, Chinese Ophthalmological Society, Chinese Medical Association in 1985. The data was statistically analyzed by SPSS 13.0 software. Results A total of 57 500 residents underwent the examination with the participating rate of 90.68%; 2632(4.58%) were diagnosed as with diabetes, in whom 986 were with DR (with DR prevalence of 37.46%). The duration of diabetes was the independent risk factor of DR (r=0.210,P＜0.001). The duration of diabetes and combined with hypertension were the influence factors of the development of DR. The visual acuity in residents with or without DR differed significantly（P＜0.01）. The level of HbA1c was positively related to DR. Conclusions The incidence of DR is high in residents with diabetes in eastern countryside area of Changzhi. The duration of diabetes and combined with hypertension were the influence factors of the development of DR. The level of HbA1c may be the important indicator which can monitor the occurrence and development of DR in patients with diabetes.
Purpose Researching the relared risk factors of diabetic retinopathy (DR) through the epidemiological investigation. Methods Basing on a population random sampling survey and screening in 6 areas and cities of Anhui,216 diabetics were screened and they were then investigated in detail by filling in forms,measuring blood pressure,ocular examination including ophthalmoscopy,and lab examination including fasting blood glucose (FBG),blood glucose 2 hours after meal,urine albumin excretion (UAE),serum triglyceride,and cholesterol. Results The resultant date revealed that the duration of diabetes,blood pressure FBG and UAE were associated significantly with DR (Plt;0.05),and serum triglyceride and cholesterol were associated not significantly with DR(Pgt;0.05). Conclusion Long duration of diabetes,hight FBG and hight blood pressure are the important risk factors of DR,and urine albumin might forebode the occurrence of DR. (中华眼底病杂志,1998,14:119-121)
ObjectiveIn order to provide guidance for early interference of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), we surveyed the prevalence and analysis the related factors of DR in Shanghai Songnan community. MethodsBased on an established resident health database, an epidemiology study was performed on the residents with DM in Shanghai Songnan community.1177 patients completed questionnaire survey, and received physical examination and laboratory tests. The diagnosis and grading of DR were established based on the ocular fundus images acquired by digital non-mydriasis fundus camera. Patients with incomplete questionnaires were excluded. ResultsThere were 1120 DM patients with valid questionnaires. DR was found in 264 (23.57%) patients. The prevalence of mild, moderate, severe non-proliferative DR and proliferative DR was 17.05%, 5.09%, 1.16% and 0.27% respectively. There was significant differences in age, disease course, systolic blood pressure, insulin usage between the DR group and NDR group(t=-2.647, 2.688, 2.204, 2.291;χ2=12.527;P=0.008, 0.007, 0.028, 0.022, 0.000). There was significant differences in fasting blood-glucose and insulin usage between the mild, the moderate and the severe DR group(t=21.964, χ2=14.996;P=0.000, 0.001). Stepwise logistic analysis identified that age, DM course, and insulin usage were the related factors of DR (OR=0.769, 1.239, 1.100, 1.071, 1.682;P=0.001, 0.043, 0.176, 0.097, 0.005). ConclusionThe age, DM course, and insulin usage were the related factors of DR. The high prevalence of DR indicated the importance of the management of diabetic patients.
Objective To investigate the prevalence and related factors of diabetic retinopathy (DR) among residents with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Culai Town of Tai'an City in Shandong Province. Methods According to the DM management file database for community, 785 patients with T2DM were randomly selected by cluster sampling method. The questionnaires, routine general examinations, visual and fundus-free fluoroscopy were performed on all the patients. DR diagnosis and classification was according to the guidelines for clinical diagnosis and treatment of DR in China (2014). Both monocular and binocular DR were selected as DR patients, and the worse eye for binocular DR were treated as the DR classification of the patient. The patients were grouped by presence or absence of DR. GraphPad Prism 6, SigmaPlot 12.5, SPSS 20.0 and Excel were used to achieve data analysis. Also, SPSS 20.0 was used for multi-factor logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 699 patients (89.04%) were actually recorded. There were 122 eyes of 63 patients (9.01%) with DR (DR group), 1272 eyes of 636 patients (90.99%) without DR (NDR group). Among the 122 eyes of DR, there were 19 (15.57%), 17 (13.93%), 70 (57.38%), 10 (8.20%), 6 (4.92%) eyes in stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ, respectively. The differences of mean age (t=15 290, P=0.002), DM duration (t=9075, P＜0.000) and diastolic blood pressure (t=15 810, P=0.006) between the two groups were statistically significant. There were 23 (36.51%) and 394 (61.95%) patients with hypertension history in the DR group and the NDR group, with the significant difference ( χ2=15.42, OR=0.35, 95%CI 0.21-0.60). There were 57 (90.48%) and 500 (78.62%) patients with fasting blood glucose larger than 6.11 mmol/L in the DR group and the NDR group, with the significant difference (OR=2.51, 95%CI 1.06-5.95, P=0.031). Logistic regression analysis showed that the age, fasting blood glucose and DM duration were influencing factors for DR (OR=1.039, 0.864, 0.898; P=0.021, ＜0.000, ＜0.000). Conclusion The prevalence of DR in patients with T2DM in Culai Town of Tai'an City is 9.01%. Age, DM duration, fasting blood glucose are associated to DR. Those with a history of hypertension may have a lower risk of DR than those without a history of hypertension.
