Resumen
RUIZ MIRANDA, Magdevis et al. Clinical and epidemiological characterization of diabetic retinopathy patients. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2021, vol.34, n.1 Epub 01-Mar-2021. ISSN 1561-3070.
Objective:
Characterize diabetic retinopathy patients from a clinical and epidemiological point of view.
Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted of 42 type 2 diabetic patients at Santiago de Cuba Ophthalmology Center from October 2017 to October 2019.
Results:
A predominance was found of patients who had had diabetes mellitus for more than 10 years and were aged 55 years or over (60.0%); black skin color prevailed with 66.7%; visual acuity above 0.6 was present in 49.4% of the cases, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy was the most common type (55.9%). In both groups glycosylated hemoglobin values above 7% prevailed, whereas normal albuminuria was predominant with 46.7% and 66.7%, respectively.
Conclusions:
High glycosylated hemoglobin and normal albuminuria values are clinically associated to proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
