Prevalence and predictors of developing vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy within the first three years of type 2 diabetes

PurposeTo investigate the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and vision-threatening DR (VTDR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) stratified by the duration of diabetes and to identify the clinical variations and risk factors for VTDR occurring at different stages of T2DM.MethodsTh...

description PurposeTo investigate the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and vision-threatening DR (VTDR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) stratified by the duration of diabetes and to identify the clinical variations and risk factors for VTDR occurring at different stages of T2DM.MethodsThis was a retrospective comparative study. Patients were divided into short- (≤3 years), intermediate- (3–7 years), and long-duration (>7 years) groups. All patients were followed-up for DR and VTDR development. Risk factors were explored using logistic regression analysis.ResultsA total of,2961 patients were included; among them, 1,036 (35.0%) patients developed DR, and 293 (9.9%) had VTDR. The frequency of VTDR in patients who developed DR in the short-duration group was significantly higher than that in the intermediate-duration group (25.7% vs. 15.0%; p = 0.019), but comparable with that of the long-duration group (25.7% vs. 31.8%; p = 0.138). Patients who developed VTDR within the first 3 years of T2DM were more likely to have a family history of diabetes (p = 0.024), had higher glycated hemoglobin (p = 0.025), were males (p = 0.042), and were notably older at the onset of diabetes (p <0.001) but younger when diagnosed with DR (p <0.001). Moreover, higher glycated hemoglobin (OR = 1.14; 95% CI: 1.00–1.29; p = 0.043) and diabetic nephropathy (DN) (OR = 2.31; 95% CI: 1.08–4.91; p = 0.030) were independent risk factors for developing VTDR during the first 3 years of T2DM.ConclusionThe risk of DR is not high in persons with ≤3 years’ duration of T2DM, however, if afflicted, the risk of VTDR should never be neglected. More frequent retinal screening is warranted in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM.
