| description | This study aims to determine the risk factors associated
with diabetic retinopathy (DR) among natives and nonnatives
Sarawakians who were seen at 3 public hospitals
and one health clinic in Sarawak. It is a cross sectional
study where data on patients with DM were collected by staff
at these healthcare facilities and entered into the web-based
Diabetic Eye Registry. Univariate and multivariate analysis
was used to determine the association factors for DR. DR
was significantly less associated with natives (24.4%)
compared to non-native Sarawakians (34.1%) (p <0.001). The
odds of getting DR was higher in patients whose duration of
DM was more than 20 years (OR=2.6), who have renal
impairment (OR= 1.7) and non-natives (OR =1.4). |
