Abstract
Background: One of the major complication of the eye in diabetes is Retinopathy.Without early detection and treatment it progresses from its mild abnormalities to its advanced and ultimately leads to a significant visual loss.
Objective: The aim of the study was to find out the Prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetic patients.
Methodology: This cross-sectional study was carried out at the Department of Medicine Mekran Medical College Turbat from December 2022 to May 2023 after taking permission from ethical board of the institute. A total of 5370 individuals diagnosed with type II diabetic individuals were included. Diabetic retinopathy's prevalence was calculated. They were categorized into four groups according to the international classification of diabetic retinopathy: proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), moderate non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and no diabetic retinopathy. Every patient got care and was counseled to follow the criteria set out by the International Council of Ophthalmology. Data was analyzed by SPSS VERSION 24.0 and presented in tables and figures
Results: Overall 5370 individuals were enrolled in this study out of which male were 3232(60.1%) were male and female were 2138(39.8%). Diabetic retinopathy was noted in 1616(30.0%) of the total individuals. The It was most prevalent in males 1124(34.4%) compared to females 534 (24.9%) as shown Of the male patients with diabetic retinopathy, 5.42% had PDR, 9.85% had moderate NPDR, 3.44% had severe NPDR, and 16.08 percent had mild NPDR. Of the female diabetic retinopathy individuals, 13.72% had moderate NPDR, 5.62% had mod. NPDR, 1.92% had severe NPDR, and 3.61% had PDR (P value <0.001). The age group of 45 to 60 years old constituted the largest percent of people, at around 47.73%. The disease was most prevalent in participant of age over 75 years (37%) followed by age group 30 to 45 years (20%).
Conclusion: From the current study we concluded that retinopathy is strong association with type 2 Diabetes mellitus our study reveals a greater prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (30.0%). Screening should to be an important aspect of diabetic care management.
