TO STUDY THE PREVALENCE OF DIABETIC RETINOPATHY IN DIABETES MELLITUS PATIENTS AND ITS CORRELATION WITH VARIOUS ASSOCIATED RISK FACTORS

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) being disease of modern world occurrence of Diabetic retinopathy (DR) has become more frequent. Knowledge on the prevalence and associated risk factors of diabetic retinopathy helps to detect the disease in its early course. The objective of the study was to establish the prevalence and to analyze the associated risk factors and help to screen the disease as early as possible so as to prevent and /or to delay the onset as well as progression of DR. Materials and Methods: A hospital based retrospective study conducted among 213 in-patients of Nobel Medical College, Biratnagar diagnosed with DM. Result: The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy was 32.39% and prevalence of mild NPDR, moderate NPDR, severe NPDR, very severe NPDR, proliferative diabetic retinopathy and clinically significant macular edema was 12.7%, 8.9%, 6.1%, 5%, 1.9% & 2.3% respectively. There was statistically significant relation of diabetic retinopathy with duration of diabetes (p value 0.004) and the mean duration was 8.704 years. Conclusions: The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy among in-patients was 32.39%. Though there was no significant relation with occurrence of DR with type of diabetes, age, sex, alcoholism, smoking and drug intake history, the duration of diabetes and hyperlipidemia, poor hyperglycemic control were highly significantly associated with DR while high BP showed marginally insignificant relation with the same.

Background: High prevalence of undiagnosed cases of diabetes mellitus (DM) has increased over the last two decades, most patients with DM only become aware of their condition once they develop a complication. Limited data are available regarding the knowledge and awareness about DM and the associated risk factors, complications and management in Saudi society. Aim: This study aimed to assess knowledge of DM in general Saudi society and among Saudi healthcare workers. Results: Only 37.3% of the participants were aware of the current DM prevalence. Obesity was the most frequently identified risk factor for DM. Most comparisons indicated better awareness among health workers. Conclusion: A significant lack of knowledge about DM in Saudi society was identified. Social media and educational curriculum can improve knowledge and awareness of DM.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence and associated risk factors of diabetes mellitus (DM) among the adult population in Bisha province, Saudi Arabia.METHODS: A cross sectional study was conducted during December, 2015 using the World Health Organization STEPS wise approach for data collection. Blood glucose level and anthropometric measurements of blood pressure, height, weight, and waist circumference were performed per standard methods. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the prevalence and risk of diabetes.RESULTS: Of 542 adult individuals included in the study, 13.3% (72) had diabetes, of which 8.1% were previously diagnosed and 5.2% represented new cases. The proportions of DM were 14.7% for men and 10.8% for women. Diabetes was significantly higher among married compared to unmarried individuals (19.3% vs 5.5 %; p<0.001) and among individuals aged ≥40 years old compared to those <40 years (31.3% vs 9.3%; p<0.001). The risk of diabetes was significantly increased with older age (Odds Ratio=4.470; 95% CI 2.264-7.614), married individuals (OR=4.097; 95% CI 2.188-7.672), weight/obesity (OR=2.827; 95% CI 1.567-5.072), hypertension (OR=4.383; 95% CI 2.085-9.214) and having a job (OR=2.327; 95% CI 1.347-4.02). The independent risk factors predicted diabetes were hypertension (Adjusted OR=2.897; 95% CI 1.269-66.13) and job patterns (Adjusted OR=2.793; 95% CI 1.064-7.329).CONCLUSION: Different risk factors alarming diabetes among adult population in Bisha province were detected. Strategies aimed to improving a healthy lifestyle are necessary to reduce the burden of the disease.
