  1. Prevalence of Diabetic Retinopathy [ role of BP & glycemic control ] In Diabetic patients cared for at the Family Care Center at RCRMC Kam Chan, DO

  2. Background • Estimated 18.2 million Americans and one in 20 world-wide lives with diabetes • Type II Diabetes account for 90% of total cases in the US • Diabetic Retinopathy is the most frequent cause of new cases of blindness in diabetic patients aged 20-74 years in the US

  3. Diabetic Retinopathy • Background Retinopathy - microaneurysm formation, capillary leakage causing dot blot hemorrhage & hard exudates • Pre-proliferative retinopathy - cotton-wool spots due to infarction of retinal nerve fiber layers and venous beading • Proliferative retinopathy { PDR } growth of new blood vessels from the optic nerve head OR posterior surface of vitreous

  7. Duration / Onset age Glycemic control Renal disease Systemic HTN Hyperlipidemia Pregnancy ASSOCIATED RISK FACTORS

  8. TYPE I diabetes < 5 years - 17% 5 - 10 years - 74%  > 15 years - 98% TYPE II diabetes 0 - 10%0 - 5 years - 29%> 15 years - 78% RETINOPATHY vs DURATION

  9. Data • TOTAL # of SUBJECTS = 133 • Approx. 70% of patients were Hispanic • Age range - 31-85 years • Mean age = 57 +/- 8 years • 68% females

  10. 50% patients had some type of eye disorder • 26% with diabetic retinopathy • 9% with PDR • 17% with NPDR • 9% cases – cataract alone • 2% glaucoma alone • 2% both • 4 cases NPDR + cataract

  11. Impact of uncontrolled HTN No of patients Percent of Total N = 133 subjects

  15. CONCLUSION • The prevalence of diabetic patients with retinopathy in our clinic is 26% • Tighter control of BP will have immense impact on the progression of retinopathy • More effort should be placed in making sure all diabetics obtain eye exams • This study will help provide a reference point for implementing changes toward improved therapy
