Diabetic retinopathy in type 1 diabetes patients in Western Norway

Abstract: The prevalence of DR in DM1 was largely within the range of previous reports. Diabetes duration, HbA1c level, neuropathy, nephropathy and male gender were all significant predictors of DR severity. The patients with more severe DR had lower HRQoL.

“…Although they also used generic instruments to measure a specific condition associated with diabetes, the sample showed other diabetic complications, which were self-reported; all of these characteristics could influence the results. Furthermore, another cross-sectional study involving patients with type 1 diabetes observed a lower HRQoL in patients with severe DR; this is similar to our findings, although their results were not adjusted for other complications [29]. There are two cross-sectional studies performed with a sample of patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes that found a lower HRQoL in the presence of DR [26,27].…”

“…To our knowledge, only one study with a cross-sectional design has assessed the relationship between QoL and the presence of DR in patients with type 1 diabetes using a diabetes-specific QoL questionnaire [15]. So far, all of the published scientific evidence regarding this issue used generic instruments or visual function scales to appraise the impact of DR in the QoL of patients with type 1 diabetes [16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30]. The FinnDiane study, which included a large sample of patients with type 1 diabetes, did not find any association between the presence of DR and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) using a generic instrument [16]; it should be pointed out that, in this study, DR was determined to be present if the subject had ever received treatment for DR and that 53% of the patients had also diabetic nephropathy, which could influence the results.…”

“…In Europe the majority of the studies, 7 out of 9 were population based with the remaining 2 studies derived from hospital populations (Table 1). Of the 9 studies, a third included a mixed population of individuals with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes [19,15,17], a third were restricted to people with type 2 diabetes [11][12][13] and a third involved only type 1 diabetes [14,15,17] with a slight preponderance of males in most studies (range 49.0-62.9%). In 6 studies [10-12,14,16,18] the period of observation commenced from 2005 onwards for periods ranging from 1 to 10 years duration, and with the others starting before 2000 at 1972 [13], 1983 [15] and 1999 [17] and lasting for 14, 27 and 10 years respectively.…”

“…However, among Asian Indians, the DR rate was estimated as 53.3% [37]. In European patients of Western Norway, the DR prevalence was estimated to be 61% [38], and in T1D patients from Thailand, the DR prevalence was found to be 21.6% [39]. These reports indicated that the prevalence rates of DR are higher than the rate observed in this study (19%).…”
