The WESDR has provided precise estimates of the prevalence, and 4-year incidence and progression of diabetic retinopathy. It has provided evidence of a possible causal relationship between specific risk factors, such as hyperglycemia and the development and progression of retinopathy. Our data support current recommendations for ophthalmologic examinations for people with diabetes. In 1990 we will reexamine the cohort to determine the 10-year incidence and progression of diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, and visual impairment.
威斯康星糖尿病视网膜病变流行病学研究(WESDR)已精确估算出糖尿病视网膜病变的患病率、4年发病率及病情进展情况。它还提供了特定风险因素(如高血糖)与视网膜病变发生和进展之间可能存在因果关系的证据。我们的数据支持目前针对糖尿病患者进行眼科检查的建议。1990年,我们将对该队列进行重新检查,以确定糖尿病视网膜病变、黄斑水肿及视力损害的10年发病率和病情进展情况。
