GARBEY BERMUDES, Yahyma; RUIZ MIRANDA, Magdevis e LAPIDO POLANCO, Suzel Ivón. A Strategy for the Prevention of Diabetic Retinopathy in Primary Healthcare. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2023, vol.39, n.1 Epub 01-Mar-2023. ISSN 1561-3038.
Introduction:
Diabetic retinopathy can be prevented with the optimal control of diabetes mellitus; however, the constant arrival of patients with a diagnosis of advanced diabetic retinopathy to ophthalmologic centers points to insufficient primary prevention of this disease.
Objective:
To propose practical tools related to the main risk factors that can be controlled or modified in diabetic patients to achieve a more effective primary prevention of diabetic retinopathy.
Methods:
Articles concerning the prevention of diabetic retinopathy in primary healthcare were consulted, covering the months of November-December 2020 and January 2021, published in various journals and indexed in the PubMed, SciELO and Medscape databases; together with other related texts, websites and blogs from 2010 onwards. The used syntaxes were retinopatía diabética [diabetic retinopathy], prevalencia y prevención de retinopatía diabética [prevalence and prevention of diabetic retinopathy], prevención primaria [primary prevention], complicaciones oculares de la diabetes mellitus [ocular complications of diabetes mellitus] and factores de riesgo de la retinopatía diabética [risk factors for diabetic retinopathy].
Conclusions:
The addition of new strategies to the control or modification of the main risk factors in diabetic patients is an alternative to perfect primary prevention of diabetic retinopathy.
