Abstract
Aim
This study aimed to investigate the short-and long-term effect on diabetic retinopathy (DR) in individuals with type 1 diabetes treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin injections (CSII) compared to those using multiple daily injections (MDI).
Methods
We conducted a register-based matched cohort study utilizing data from the Danish Registry of Diabetic Retinopathy as well as several other national Danish health registers. Our cohort consisted of all individuals with type 1 diabetes who attended the Danish screening program for DR from 2013 to 2022. We included individuals registered with CSII treatment, and compared them to individuals using MDI, matched by age, sex, and DR level. Cox regression analysis was performed to evaluate the outcomes.
Results
The study included 674 individuals treated with CSII and 2006 matched MDI users. In our cohort 53.4 % were female and median age was 36 (IQR 27–47). Average follow-up risk-time was 4.8 years. There was no difference in the risk of DR worsening between the CSII group and MDI group (HR 1.05 [95%CI 0.91; 1.22], p = 0.49). However, an increased risk of focal photocoagulation was observed in the CSII group (HR 2.40 [95%CI 1.11; 5.19], p = 0.03).
Conclusions
Our findings indicate that CSII treatment does not confer a significant difference in the overall short- and long-term risk of DR worsening or ocular intervention compared to MDI treatment. These results provide insights into the DR outcomes of CSII treatment in individuals with type 1 diabetes.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications (JDC) is a journal for health care practitioners and researchers, that publishes original research about the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus and its complications. JDC also publishes articles on physiological and molecular aspects of glucose homeostasis.
The primary purpose of JDC is to act as a source of information usable by diabetes practitioners and researchers to increase their knowledge about mechanisms of diabetes and complications development, and promote better management of people with diabetes who are at risk for those complications.
Manuscripts submitted to JDC can report any aspect of basic, translational or clinical research as well as epidemiology. Topics can range broadly from early prediabetes to late-stage complicated diabetes. Topics relevant to basic/translational reports include pancreatic islet dysfunction and insulin resistance, altered adipose tissue function in diabetes, altered neuronal control of glucose homeostasis and mechanisms of drug action. Topics relevant to diabetic complications include diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy; peripheral vascular disease and coronary heart disease; gastrointestinal disorders, renal failure and impotence; and hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
