Putative risk factors associated with retinopathy in patients with diabetes diagnosed at or after 30 years of age
(1989) In Diabetic Medicine 6(8). p.724-727- Abstract
- In a cross-sectional study of diabetic patients diagnosed at or after 30 years, and with different stages of retinopathy, factors such as duration of diabetes, treatment mode, metabolic control, blood pressure, and clinical signs of nephropathy were examined. The different stages of retinopathy used were absence of retinopathy, simplex, and severe retinopathy. Patients with simplex and severe retinopathy were older than those without retinopathy (p less than 0.001, and p less than 0.01, respectively). They also had a longer duration of diabetes (p less than 0.001), and were more often treated with insulin (p less than 0.001) and in larger doses (p less than 0.001). Their glycosylated haemoglobin levels were higher (p less than 0.01). Their... (More)

Their glycosylated haemoglobin levels were higher (p less than 0.01). Their systolic blood pressure was higher (p less than 0.01), but the diastolic blood pressure did not differ, and the number of patients treated for hypertension was similar in all groups. Albumin clearance was higher (p less than 0.01 and p less than 0.001), as were urinary albumin levels (p less than 0.001). The only variables that distinguished patients with simplex from those with severe retinopathy were albumin clearance (p less than 0.01) and urinary albumin levels (p less than 0.05). (Less)
