Abstract AR
Objectives : This case-control study was designed to determine whether or not cigarette smoking is an aggravating factor for diabetic retinopathy in Jordanian men.
MethodsThe study was carried out in the Ophthalmology and Endocrinology Clinics at King Hussein Medical Center in Jordan.
Fifty male patients with evidence of proliferative diabetic retinopathy were taken as cases, and a second group of 50 male patients with early background diabetic retinopathy served as controls.
Results : 46% of the cases had never been smokers compared to 52% of the controls; 26% of the cases were ex- smokers compared to 30% of the controls; 28% of the cases were current smokers compared to 18% of the controls.
Conclusion This study does not identify smoking as an important risk factor for the aggravation of diabetic retinopathy.
