The retinal oxygen metabolism and hemodynamics as a substitute for biochemical tests to predict nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy

Predicting the occurrence of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) using biochemical parameters is invasive, which limits large‐scale clinical application. Noninvasive retinal oxygen metabolism and hemodynamics of 215 eyes from 73 age‐matched healthy subjects, 90 diabetic patients without DR,...

Description
Summary:Predicting the occurrence of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) using biochemical parameters is invasive, which limits large‐scale clinical application. Noninvasive retinal oxygen metabolism and hemodynamics of 215 eyes from 73 age‐matched healthy subjects, 90 diabetic patients without DR, 40 NPDR, and 12 DR with postpanretinal photocoagulation were measured with a custom‐built multimodal retinal imaging device. Diabetic patients underwent biochemical examinations. Two logistic regression models were developed to predict NPDR using retinal and biochemical metrics, respectively. The predictive model 1 using retinal metrics incorporated male gender, insulin treatment condition, diastolic duration, resistance index, and oxygen extraction fraction presented a similar predictive power with model 2 using biochemical metrics incorporated diabetic duration, diastolic blood pressure, and glycated hemoglobin A1c (area under curve: 0.73 vs. 0.70; sensitivity: 76% vs. 68%; specificity: 64% vs. 62%). These results suggest that retinal oxygen metabolic and hemodynamic biomarkers may replace biochemical parameters to predict the occurrence of NPDR . Using the multimodal retinal imaging, retinal oxygen metabolic and hemodynamic alterations correlate with stages of diabetes mellitus, and they are independent risk factors of NPDR. Furthermore, two NPDR predictive models were developed using retinal and biochemical metrics, respectively. Retinal metrics have similar performance with biochemical metrics to predict NPDR.
