Abstract
Aims
Assess the incidence and prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) among all persons registered with diabetes in the electronic medical records (EMR) from 2016 to 2020 and investigate factors associated with both incident and prevalent DR.
Methods
We calculated the five-year incidence rate of DR per 1000 person years, and calculated the prevalence of DR, using Poisson regression analysis. We calculated the incidence rate ratios (IRR) in univariate and multivariate Poisson regression analysis, to assess risk factors associated with incident DR. We calculated the Odds ratios (OR) to assess risk factors of prevalent DR in univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses.
Results
We found 10.4% persons developed incident DR during follow-up, equivalent to an incidence rate of DR of 29.2 pr. 1000 (95%CI: 22.9–37.3) person years. The total prevalence of DR was 13.6%. Higher HbA1c levels and longer diabetes duration were significantly associated with incident and prevalent DR. Higher levels of LDL cholesterol were significantly associated with a lower risk of incident DR.
Conclusion
The incidence and prevalence of DR in Greenland is lower than in most other parts of the world. In agreement with previous studies on risk factors for DR, HbA1c levels and diabetes duration were associated with incident/prevalent DR.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
