Abstract

INTRODUCTION

We characterized the progression of different diabetic retinopathy (DR) phenotypes in type 2 diabetes (T2D).

METHODS

A prospective longitudinal cohort study (CORDIS, NCT03696810) was conducted with three visits (baseline, 6 months, and 1 year). Demographic and systemic data included age, sex, diabetes duration, lipid profile, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Ophthalmological examinations included best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), color fundus photography (CFP), and optical coherence tomography (OCT and OCTA). Phenotype classification was performed at the 6-month visit based on microaneurysm turnover (MAT, on CFP) and central retinal thickness (CRT, on OCT). Only risk phenotypes B (MAT < 6 and increased CRT) and C (MAT ≥ 6 with or without increased CRT) were included. ETDRS grading was performed at the baseline visit based on seven-field CFP.

RESULTS

A total of 133 T2D individuals were included in the study; 81 (60%) eyes were classified as phenotype B and 52 (40%) eyes as phenotype C. Of these, 128 completed the 1-year follow-up. At baseline, eyes with phenotype C showed greater capillary closure (superior capillary plexus, deep capillary plexus, and full retina, p < 0.001) and increased foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area (p < 0.001), indicating more advanced microvascular disease. Neurodegeneration represented by thinning of the ganglion cell layer + inner plexiform layer (GCL + IPL) was present in both phenotypes. When analyzing the 1-year progression of each phenotype, only phenotype C revealed a significant decrease in BCVA (p = 0.02) and enlargement of the FAZ (p = 0.03). A significant progressive decrease in the vessel density of the deep capillary layer and in MAT occurred in both phenotypes, but these changes were particularly relevant in phenotype C and ETDRS grades 43-47. During the 1-year period, both phenotypes B and C showed progression in GCL + IPL thinning (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

In the 1-year period of follow-up, both phenotypes B and C showed progression in retinal neurodegeneration, whereas phenotype C showed more marked disease progression at the microvascular level.

摘要

引言

我们对2型糖尿病（T2D）中不同糖尿病视网膜病变（DR）表型的进展进行了特征描述。

方法

进行了一项前瞻性纵向队列研究（CORDIS，NCT03696810），共进行三次随访（基线、6个月和1年）。人口统计学和全身数据包括年龄、性别、糖尿病病程、血脂谱和糖化血红蛋白（HbA1c）。眼科检查包括最佳矫正视力（BCVA）、彩色眼底照相（CFP）和光学相干断层扫描（OCT和OCTA）。在6个月随访时，根据微动脉瘤周转率（MAT，基于CFP）和中心视网膜厚度（CRT，基于OCT）进行表型分类。仅纳入风险表型B（MAT < 6且CRT增加）和表型C（MAT≥6，无论CRT是否增加）。在基线随访时，基于七视野CFP进行ETDRS分级。

结果

该研究共纳入133例T2D个体；81只眼（60%）被分类为表型B，52只眼（40%）被分类为表型C。其中，128例完成了1年随访。在基线时，表型C的眼睛显示出更大程度的毛细血管闭塞（视网膜上毛细血管丛、深层毛细血管丛和整个视网膜，p < 0.001）以及黄斑无血管区（FAZ）面积增加（p < 0.001），表明微血管疾病更严重。两种表型均存在以神经节细胞层+内丛状层（GCL + IPL）变薄为代表的神经退行性变。在分析每种表型的1年进展时，只有表型C的BCVA出现显著下降（p = 0.02）且FAZ增大（p = 0.03）。两种表型的深层毛细血管层血管密度和MAT均出现显著的进行性下降，但这些变化在表型C和ETDRS 43 - 47级中尤为明显。在1年期间，表型B和C的GCL + IPL变薄均有进展（p < 0.001）。
