糖尿病(DM)是以升高的血糖水平为特征的全球公共卫生问题。监测血糖水平对于有效管理糖尿病和预防并发症至关重要。然而,纵向生物标志物与糖尿病并发症发生率之间的关联常常被忽视.因此,这项研究旨在评估糖尿病视网膜病变的发生率,预测因子,与埃塞俄比亚糖尿病患者的纵向空腹血糖水平变化有关。
■在阿姆哈拉地区的转诊医院进行了一项多中心回顾性随访研究,埃塞俄比亚。随机抽取462例新诊断DM患者。对生存子模型的比例风险假设进行了检查,对于纵向子模型,正态假设被检查。然后拟合了具有时间相关滞后参数化的关节模型。对模型假设和比较进行了检查。最后,使用具有95%置信区间(CI)且相应P值<0.05的风险比确定预测因子.
■在这项研究中,总的来说,54例患者出现DR,在随访期间,发病率为2.33/1000人-月,95%CI为[1.78,3.05]。农村住宅(AHR=2.21,95%CI:[1.21,4.05]),高血压合并症(AHR=3.01,95%CI:[1.85,6.53]),DM持续时间较长(>5年)(AHR=2.28,95%CI:[1.91,5.15])是DR发病率的重要预测因子。此外,DR的发生率与FBS变化的时间依赖性滞后值显著相关(AHR=4.20,95%CI[1.62,10.85]).
■在这项研究中,与之前在埃塞俄比亚开展的类似研究相比,糖尿病性视网膜病变的发病率较高.纵向空腹血糖水平变化的联合模型与DR风险增加显着相关。此外,作为农村住宅,高血压合并症,DM持续时间较长是DR发病率的重要预测因素。因此,公众意识,综合护理方法,强烈建议优先控制血糖.
UNASSIGNED: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global public health problem characterized by an elevated blood glucose level. Monitoring blood sugar levels is vital for effective diabetes management and preventing complications. However, the association between longitudinal biomarkers and the incidence of diabetic complications is often overlooked. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the incidence of diabetic retinopathy, predictors, and association with longitudinal fasting blood sugar level changes among diabetes mellitus patients in Ethiopia.
UNASSIGNED: A multicenter retrospective follow-up study was carried out in referral hospitals in Amhara region, Ethiopia. A random sample of 462 newly diagnosed DM patients was selected. The proportional hazard assumption was checked for the survival sub-model, and for the longitudinal sub-model, the normality assumption was checked. Then the joint modeling with time-dependent lagged parameterizations was fitted. Model assumptions and comparisons were checked. Finally, the hazard ratio with a 95% confidence interval (CI) with a corresponding P-value<0.05 was used to identify predictors.
UNASSIGNED: In this study, Overall, 54 patients developed DR, and the incidence rate was 2.33 per 1000 person-months over the follow-up period, with a 95% CI of [1.78, 3.05]. Rural residence (AHR = 2.21, 95% CI: [1.21, 4.05]), hypertension co-morbidity (AHR = 3.01, 95% CI: [1.85, 6.53]), and longer duration of DM (>5 years) (AHR = 2.28, 95% CI: [1.91, 5.15]) were important predictors for the incidence of DR. In addition, the incidence of DR was substantially correlated with the time-dependent lagged value of FBS change (AHR = 4.20, 95% CI [1.62, 10.85]).
UNASSIGNED: In this study, the incidence of diabetic retinopathy was somewhat high when compared to prior similar studies in Ethiopia. A joint model of longitudinal fasting blood sugar level changes was significantly associated with an increased risk of DR. Besides, being rural residence, hypertension co-morbidity, and a longer duration of DM were significant predictors for the incidence of DR. Therefore, public awareness, an integrated care approach, and prioritizing glycemic control are highly recommended.
