Abstract

PURPOSE. To determine which retinal layers are most affected by diabetes and contribute to thinning of the inner retina and to investigate the relationship between retinal layer thickness (LT) and diabetes duration, diabetic retinopathy (DR) status, age, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and the sex of the individual, in patients with type 1 diabetes who have no or minimal DR. METHODS. Mean LT was calculated for the individual retinal layers after automated segmentation of spectral domain-optical coherence tomography scans of patients with diabetes and compared with that in control subjects. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between LT and HbA1c, age, sex, diabetes duration, and DR status. RESULTS. In patients with minimal DR, the mean ganglion cell layer (GCL) in the pericentral area was 5.1 mum thinner (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-9.1 mum), and in the peripheral macula, the mean retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) was 3.7 mum thinner (95% CI, 1.3-6.1 mum) than in the control subjects. There was a significant linear correlation (R = 0.53, P < 0.01) between GCL thickness and diabetes duration in the pooled group of patients. Multiple linear regression analysis (R = 0.62, P < 0.01) show...Continue Reading
