概要 Purpose: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) are two of the major causes of adult blindness. The number of both types of patients is increasing. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical characteristics of AMD in patients with DR.
Methods: A retrospective, consecutive case series. Twenty-six eyes of 25 type 2 diabetic Japanese patients with DR and AMD were studied. They were diagnosed as having exudative AMD and DR at Kansai Medical University, Takii Hospital between in 1999 to 2008. Patients with dry AMD, neovascular maculopathy associated with high myopia, no apparent DR, and age <50 years were excluded. The clinical characteristics, e.g., gender, stage of DR, type of AMD, and clinical courses were evaluated.Conclusion: We found a higher percentage of DR male patients with AMD. The prevalence of PCV in DR patients was lower than that of Japanese patients without DR. Neovascular AMD was the most frequent type of AMD in patients with DR. AMD in Patients with DR presented poor prognosis.
