Analysis the risk factors of diabetic ophthalmoplegia

Abstract

AIM: To study the related risk factors of diabetic ophthalmoplegia.METHODS: The clinical data on 120 patients(120 eyes)with diabetic ophthalmoplegia treated in the Department of Ophthalmology in Qingdao Municipal Hospital from June 2008 to June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. In terms of cranial nerve involvement, patients were divided into three groups: those with oculomotor nerve paralysis(group Ⅲ, 66), abducent nerve paralysis(group Ⅵ, 41), and compound nerve paralysis(groups Ⅲ+Ⅵ, 13). The clinical data of patients were collected and statistically analyzed to screen the related risk factors of diabetic ophthalmoplegia.RESULTS: Age, gender, diabetes duration, HbA1c level, diabetic retinopathy and hypertension were related to diabetic ophthalmoplegia. Age≥45 years, male gender, diabetes duration≥10a, retinopathy, and HbA1c>7% were independent risk factors for diabetic ophthalmoplegia.CONCLUSION: The occurrence of diabetic ophthalmoplegia is related to the age, gender, diabetes duration, diabetic retinopathy and HbA1c level.
