Abstract: | ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate factors that could be related to the progression of proliferative diabetic retinopathy in patients treated with photocoagulation.MethodsIn this case-control study, a total of 106 patients with diabetic retinopathy participated who were treated with photocoagulation. We analyzed glycaemia, serum cholesterol, triglycerides, hemoglobin, platelet levels, blood pressure measurement, diabetes duration, diabetes and hypertension treatment, sex, and age. The statistical analysis was done with t test, χ2 test, odds ratio (OR), and simple linear regression.ResultsWe found statistical significance in blood glucose level (P=.038), cholesterol level (P<.001), and hemoglobin level (P<.001). The simple linear regression was significant with blood glucose level (P<.05) and hemoglobin level (P=.001). Hemoglobin had a significant result: OR=2.432, 95% CI 1.902–3.115; Pearson χ2= 16.812; P<.001.ConclusionsAnemia is an important finding in diabetic patients. Anemia is a relevant factor related to the progression of proliferative diabetic retinopathy, which can be treated with photocoagulation. |
