Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the compliance of follow-up and the associated factors of diabetic retinopathy screening among diabetes patients in Muping District, Yantai City.
Methods438 diabetes patients who received free diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening in Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Muping District of Yantai City from April 2012 to June 2013 were enrolled in the cross-sectional study. The re-examination rate at five years later, as well as the possible associated factors, including age, gender, height, weight, education level, occupation, past medical history, smoking and drinking habits, diabetes process, diabetes medication history, severity of DR, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), renal functionand blood lipid were analyzed and evaluated.
ResultsAmong 438 patients, 159 returned for check up five years later, with a follow-up rate of 36.3%. Further analysis revealed that follow-up rate was related to occupation types (P=0.003) and HbA1c level (P=0.006). Other factors did not show statistical significance (P>0.05).
ConclusionsThe compliance of DR screening visits is related to occupational type and blood glucose control. It is suggested that in the screening of DR in China, we should pay attention to the propaganda and education of diabetic patients to control blood glucose, and focus on some occupational diabetes people, such as housework workers and farmers.
