Abstract

Background: The association of diabetes mellitus, nighttime blood pressure dipping and nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy is inconclusive. There has been no study to test this association among Arab Patients. Objectives: This study aims to test the association between diabetes mellitus, nighttime blood pressure dipping and nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy among cohort of patients from Basrah, Southern Iraq. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study on patients with nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy conducted at the ophthalmology clinic at Faiha Teaching Hospital in 2018. Patients with nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy were screened for diabetes mellitus. Ambulatory blood pressure monitor was attached to some of the participants for 24 hours. Nighttime blood pressure dipping was classified into 4 categories:  normal, blunted, severe and reverse. Results: A total of 74 patients with nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy were included. Females constituted 64.9 % of the cases. Forty patients (53.3%) were found to have diabetes mellitus. While 41 participants (55.5 %) were hypertensive. Nocturnal dipping of blood pressure was measured in 38 patients. Only 6 (15.7%) of them had severe dipping. Conclusions: There may be an association between diabetes mellitus but not nighttime blood pressure dipping with nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy.    
非动脉性缺血性视神经病变患者糖尿病患病率较高
背景:糖尿病、夜间血压下降与非动脉性缺血性视神经病变的关系尚不明确。目前还没有研究证实阿拉伯病人之间的这种联系。目的:研究伊拉克南部巴士拉地区糖尿病、夜间血压下降与非动脉性缺血性视神经病变之间的关系。方法:对2018年法哈教学医院眼科门诊非动脉性缺血性视神经病变患者进行横断面研究。对非动脉性缺血性视神经病变患者进行糖尿病筛查。其中一些参与者连续24小时佩戴动态血压监测仪。夜间血压下降分为正常、钝化、严重和逆转4类。结果:共纳入74例非动脉性缺血性视神经病变。女性占64.9%。40例(53.3%)合并糖尿病。41名参与者(55.5%)患有高血压。测量38例患者夜间血压下降。仅6例(15.7%)发生严重浸渍。结论:夜间血压下降与非动脉性缺血性视神经病变可能存在相关性,而非相关性。
