The effect of diabetes on short-term outcomes following epiretinal membrane surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to examine the association of diabetes with anatomical and functional outcomes of epiretinal membrane surgery.

Methods

Consecutive patients who underwent epiretinal membrane surgery between 2017-2021 at Helsinki University Hospital, Finland. Here we examined the association of diabetes, glycemic control, and requirement for insulin medication with surgical outcomes at 1-month.

Results

Included were 214 eyes of 214 patients, with a mean age of 71.2 ± 8.2 years. Among patients with diabetes (n = 45), neither significant differences were observed in anatomical outcomes (- 47.8 ± 72.7 μm vs. - 38.3 ± 103 μm for foveal thickness, p = 0.566 and - 41.6 ± 61.8 μm vs. - 41.7 ± 85.7 μm for central subfield macular thickness, p = 0.996) nor in best-corre
