研究目的
To elucidate the relationship between systemic risk factors and different patterns of diabetic macular edema (DME) determined with optical coherence tomography (OCT).
研究成果
Micro- or macro-albuminuria might be more frequent and HbA1c might be higher in patients with DRT. These patients were also determined to be younger than patients with non-DRT.
研究不足
The sample size was small and represents the results of a single center. A longitudinal study with a control group may provide more informative results. Other OCT aspects such as external limiting membrane and the junction between the inner and outer segments of photoreceptors were not investigated.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A cross-sectional study design was used to classify DME by OCT into DRT, CME, and SRD patterns and evaluate their relationship with systemic risk factors.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
57 patients with DME were included, with data on systemic factors and OCT patterns collected.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Spectral-domain OCT (Heidelberg Retinal Angiography-Optical Coherence Tomography-II, Germany) was used for imaging.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Patients underwent ophthalmic examination and OCT imaging. DME patterns were classified based on OCT images by retinal specialists.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 18.0 for Windows, with Pearson χ2 test and Kruskal-Wallis test used for comparisons.
