Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a serious complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and is the most common cause of impaired vision for adults. DR is related to a number of risk factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between burden of coronary artery disease assessed by Syntax Score (SS) and DR in T2DM.
A total of 96 T2DM patients undergoing coronary angiography were prospectively included in the study. Presence and severity of DR were assessed by ocular fundus examination. DR was graded as no apparent retinopathy (NDR), non-proliferative (NPDR), and proliferative DR (PDR). The SS for each patient was calculated.
The mean age was 58.0 ± 8.2 years. SS gradually increased from NDR group to PDR group. The median (IQR) value of SS was 10 (5-16) in patients with NDR, 22.8 (17-35.8) in those with NPDR, and 35.5 (28-37) in those with PDR (p < 0.001). On multivariate analysis SS [odds ratio (OR) 1.145, p = 0.001] and duration of diabetes (OR 1.753, p = 0.031) were independent factors for DR.
The SS is independently associated with the occurrence of DR in T2DM. Ophthalmologists and cardiologists must cooperate when evaluating patients with DM because of possible complications.
糖尿病视网膜病变(DR)是 2 型糖尿病(T2DM)的严重并发症,也是成年人视力障碍的最常见原因。DR 与许多危险因素有关。本研究旨在探讨Syntax 评分(SS)评估的冠状动脉疾病负担与 T2DM 中 DR 的关系。
前瞻性纳入 96 例接受冠状动脉造影的 T2DM 患者。通过眼部眼底检查评估 DR 的存在和严重程度。DR 分为无明显视网膜病变(NDR)、非增生性(NPDR)和增生性 DR(PDR)。计算每位患者的 SS。
患者平均年龄为 58.0±8.2 岁。SS 从 NDR 组逐渐升高至 PDR 组。NDR 患者的 SS 中位数(IQR)值为 10(5-16),NPDR 患者为 22.8(17-35.8),PDR 患者为 35.5(28-37)(p<0.001)。多变量分析显示 SS[比值比(OR)1.145,p=0.001]和糖尿病病程(OR 1.753,p=0.031)是 DR 的独立因素。
SS 与 T2DM 中 DR 的发生独立相关。由于 DM 可能出现并发症,眼科医生和心脏病专家在评估患者时必须合作。
