Abstrakt: Purpose: To test whether quantitative functional tests and optical coherence tomography (OCT)-defined structure can serve as effective tools to diagnose and monitor early diabetic neuroretinal disease.
Methods: Fifty-seven subjects with diabetes (23 without diabetic retinopathy [no DR], 19 with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy [mild NPDR], 15 with moderate to severe [moderate NPDR]), and 18 controls underwent full ophthalmic examination, fundus photography, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), e-ETDRS (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study) acuity, and the quick contrast sensitivity function (qCSF) method. Perimetry testing included short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP), standard automated perimetry (SAP), frequency doubling perimetry (FDP), and rarebit perimetry (RBP).
Results: ETDRS acuity and RBP were not sensitive for functional differences among subjects with diabetes. AULCSF, a metric of qCSF, was reduced in diabetics with moderate compared to mild NPDR (P = 0.03), and in subjects with no DR compared to controls (P = 0.04). SWAP and SAP mean deviation (MD) and foveal threshold (FT) were reduced in moderate compared to mild NPDR (SWAP, MD P = 0.002, FT P = 0.0006; SAP, MD P = 0.02, FT P = 0.007). FDP 10-2 showed reduced MD in moderate compared to mild NPDR (P = 0.02), and FDP 24-2 revealed reduced pattern standard deviation (PSD) in mild NPDR compared to no DR (P = 0.02). Structural analysis revealed thinning of the ganglion cell layer and inner plexiform layer (GCL+IPL) of moderate NPDR subjects compared to controls. The thinner GCL+IPL correlated with impaired retinal function.
Conclusions: This multimodal testing analysis reveals insights into disruption of the neuroretina in diabetes and may accelerate the testing of novel therapies.
