Abstract
PURPOSE To identify associations between systemic drugs and the incidence of diabetic macular oedema (DME). Of interest was to find beneficial and/or deleterious associations of used drugs. METHODS A historic cohort design based on administrative data. Study population consisted of 150 353 individuals with diabetes. Endpoint event was the development of DME (ICD-10 H36.01), censoring events were death or study end December 2017. The follow-up started between 1997 and 2010. The systemic medication consisted of 95 substances. We constructed a nested case-control study design comparing 2630 cases with DME to 13 144 age- and sex-matched controls without DME. Results are reported as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) based on conditional logistic regression models. RESULTS Incidence rate for DME was 1.80 per 1000 person-years (95% CI 1.73-1.87). In all, we observed a lower incidence rate of DME in females (IRR 0.57; 95% CI 0.52-0.62) compared to males. Exposure to hormone replacement therapy estradiol (OR 0.42; 0.25-0.68), temazepam (0.23; 0.08-0.62) and allopurinol (0.61; 0.43-0.86) were associated with lower risk of DME, while use of insulin or insulin analogue (3.30; 2.99-3.64), sulfonylureas (1.21; 1.05-1.40), diuretic furosemide (1.90; 1.61-2.24), calcium channel blocker amlodipine (1.53; 1.34-1.75), ACE inhibitors ramipril (1.66; 1.46-1.89) and enalapril (1.38; 1.16-1.64) were associated with an increased risk of DME. CONCLUSIONS Large-scale studies examining the incidence of DME are lacking. Our findings suggest that associations of systemic medications with the incidence of DME may shed light on the pathogenesis of complex DME, encouraging further studies.

Adverse Events during Vitreoretinal Surgery under Adequacy of Anesthesia Guidance—Risk Factor Analysis. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15020237. [PMID: 35215349 PMCID: PMC8879673 DOI: 10.3390/ph15020237] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2021] [Revised: 02/08/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Vitreoretinal surgeries require the administration of general anesthesia (GA) in selected groups of patients. The administration of intraoperative rescue narcotic analgesia (IRNA) during GA poses the risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). The surgical pleth index (SPI), a crucial component of the adequacy of anesthesia (AoA) guidance of GA, optimizes the intraoperative titration of IRNA. The current analysis evaluated the risk factors for the occurrence of PONV and the oculo-cardiac reflex (OCR) in patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) under AoA guidance. In total, 175 patients undergoing PPV were randomly allocated to receive either GA with SPI-guided IRNA administration using fentanyl alone or in addition to different preoperative analgesia techniques. Any incidence of PONV or OCR was recorded. Obesity, overweight, smoking status, motion sickness, postoperative intolerable pain perception, female gender, fluid challenge and arterial hypertension did not correlate with an increased incidence of PONV or OCR under AoA guidance. Diabetes mellitus, regardless of insulin dependence, was found to correlate with the increased incidence of PONV. The AoA regimen including SPI guidance of IRNA presumably created similar conditions for individual subjects, so no risk factors of the occurrence of PONV or OCR were found, except for diabetes mellitus. We recommend using AoA guidance for GA administration to reduce OCR and PONV rates.

Abstract
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a common cause of visual impairment in diabetic patients. It is caused by an increase in the permeability of the perifoveal capillaries and a disruption of the blood retinal-barrier. The pathogenesis of DME is multifactorial. Several therapeutic modalities have been proposed for the treatment of DME. Corticosteroid treatments have emerged as an alternative therapy for persistent DME or refractory to conventional laser photocoagulation and other modalities, due to anti-inflammatory, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor and anti-proliferative effects. Many studies have demonstrated the beneficial therapeutic effect of corticosteroids with improvement to both retinal thickness and visual acuity in short-term on the treatment of DME. Peribulbar and intravitreal injections have been used to deliver steroids for DME with frequent injections due to the chronic and recurrent nature of the disease. Steroid-related side effects include elevated intraocular pressure, cataract, and injection related complications such as endophthalmitis, vitreous hemorrhage, and retinal detachment particularly with intravitreal steroid injections. In order to reduce the risks, complications and frequent dosing of intravitreal steroids, intravitreal implants have been developed recently to provide sustained release of corticosteroids and reduce repeated intravitreal injections for the management of DME.
