الملخص EN
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the leading cause of blindness in the diabetic population.
However, there is limited understanding of the epidemiology of DME with visual impairment (VI) and treatment in patients with diabetes in Canada.
This observational, retrospective study used records from the Southwestern Ontario database to observe the demographics, prevalence, and treatment characteristics of VI due to DME compared to a healthy population in a real-world Canadian setting.
Data was compared between a cohort of 8,368 diabetic (type 1 or 2) patients, who were ≥18 years old and had a diagnosis of DME with VI (visual acuity <20/40 in Snellen equivalent), and 76,077 age- and gender-matched subjects representing a healthy population.
Among diabetic patients, prevalence of DME was 15.7%, and prevalence of VI due to DME was 2.56%.
Laser monotherapy was the most frequently used treatment.
Public funding covered costs for 85% of persons with DME while 18% were paid for with private funds.
This study provides insight into the demographics, prevalence, and treatment of VI due to DME in a representative Canadian cohort.
This data can help to inform evaluation of current DME treatment patterns and of proposed new treatment on drug plan budgets in Canada.
