解读“亚洲人群糖尿病黄斑水肿管理专家小组共识”

随着糖尿病患病率的增加，全球糖尿病视网膜病变和糖尿病黄斑水肿患者人数日益增长，而亚洲糖尿病人口的增长预计将比全球平均增长更严重，主要归因于糖尿病发病较早、患者缺乏筛查意识导致就诊延迟、费用昂贵导致患者依从性差以及由于缺乏健康教育而对糖尿病的了解不足等因素。如何基于以上原因以及治疗方面进行规范管理一直是众多眼科医师的困扰。本文将对最新的“亚洲人群糖尿病黄斑水肿管理专家小组共识”进行解读，旨在帮助眼科医师对亚洲人群糖尿病黄斑水肿患者进行规范化诊治。

Diabetic macular edema management in Asian populations: Expert panel consensus guidelines

As the increased prevalence of diabetes, the number of patients with diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema is growing globally. Notably, the growth of the diabetes patients in Asian population is expected to be severer than the global average growth, which is mainly attributed to early onset of diabetes, delayed medical visit due to the lacked screening awareness, poor compliance due to high medical cost, and poor understanding of diabetes due to the lacked health education. Therefore, it has been a challenge for many ophthalmologists to standardize the management of diabetes and the ophthalmic complications. This study aims to interpret the expert panel consensus guidelines on the diabetic macular edema management in Asian populations, thus helping ophthalmologists to standardize the management of Asian patients with diabetic macular edema.
