Resumen
Antecedentes: Los casos de ceguera por Retinopatía Diabética registrados en la población general, datan una incidencia de 2 a 3 casos/100.000 habitantes/año para personas en edad comprendidas inferiores a los 70 años aumentando a 12.6 casos/100.000 habitantes/año para personas mayores de 70 años. En Ecuador, según el INEC, existen al menos 363.000 personas con afectación visual por esta patología.
La aplicación de fotocoagulación láser ha demostrado ser eficaz hasta en el 90% de los casos de Retinopatía Diabética no proliferativa avanzada o proliferativa inicial, deteniendo o evitando la progresión y así conservar una visión útil y mejor calidad de vida en los pacientes.
Objetivo: Relacionar la Panfotocoagulación Láser Retinal con la agudeza visual de los pacientes con Retinopatía Diabética.
Materiales y Métodos: Se realizará un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal y se tomará como universo y muestra (del departamento de Estadística mediante el software AS400) a todos los pacientes diabéticos entre 18-69 años que acudieron a la consulta de oftalmología del Hospital del IESS Los Ceibos que fueron sometidos a panfotocoagulación láser por al menos 1 ocasión mediante el equipo Nidek GYC-1000 durante los meses de Febrero a Julio del 2021. Se emplearán las pruebas T de Student para muestras independientes y T de Student para muestras relacionadas.
Resultados: Poder demostrar el impacto positivo que provoca en las agudezas visuales la aplicación del láser retinal en diferentes estadíos de la Retinopatía Diabética en los pacientes de la consulta externa de Oftalmología del Hospital
Background: The cases of blindness due to Diabetic Retinopathy registered in the general population, date an incidence of 2 to 3 cases/100,000 inhabitants/year for people aged under 70 years, increasing to 12.6 cases/100,000 inhabitants/year for older people. 70 years old. In Ecuador, according to the INEC, there are at least 363,000 people with visual impairment due to this pathology. The application of laser photocoagulation has proven to be effective in up to 90% of cases of advanced or early proliferative non-proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy, stopping or preventing progression and thus preserving useful vision and better quality of life in patients. Objective: To relate Retinal Laser Panphotocoagulation with the visual acuity of patients with Diabetic Retinopathy. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study will be carried out and all diabetic patients between 18-69 years old who attended the ophthalmology consultation of the IESS Hospital will be taken as universe and sample (from the Department of Statistics using the AS400 software). Ceibos that underwent laser panphotocoagulation for at least 1 occasion using the Nidek GYC-1000 equipment during the months of February to July 2021. Student's t-test for independent samples and Student's t-test for related samples will be used. Results: Being able to demonstrate the positive impact that the application of retinal laser causes on visual acuities in different stages of Diabetic Retinopathy in patients of the Ophthalmology outpatient clinic of the IESS Los Ceibos Hospital.
