The association between different hypoglycemic regimens and postoperative diabetic macular edema after vitrectomy in the Japanese patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To study the association between different hypoglycemic regimens and postoperative diabetic macular edema (DME).

Methods

A secondary analysis based on a retrospective cohort study.

Results

In this secondary analysis, 124 eyes from patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) between January 2008 and September 2012 were included. We found that compared with oral hypoglycemic medication, oral hypoglycemic medication plus insulin treatment revealed an insignificant relationship with postoperative DME (odds ratio [OR]=0.8, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.12-5.21, P=0.8167), only insulin treatment revealed a significant association with postoperative DME (OR=0.10, 95% CI: 0.01-0.84, P=0.0337) after adjusted age, s
