Abstract
- We examined the association between bioimpedance profiles and optical coherence tomography (OCT) features in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). This cross-sectional study included 100 eyes of 100 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The systemic fluid status was assessed using extracellular water-to-total body water ratio (ECW/TBW) and phase angle (PhA), which was measured using bioimpedance equipment. ECW/TBW was higher in the DR (diabetic retinopathy) with DME group than in the no DR and DR without DME groups (p = 0.007 and p = 0.047, respectively); however, no significant difference was observed between the no DR and DR without DME groups. The PhA values were significantly lower in the DR with DME group (5.45 ± 0.84) than in the no DR (6.69 ± 0.69) and DR without DME groups (6.05 ± 1.15) (p < 0.001, p = 0.032, respectively). The presence of multiple HRF (hyper-reflective foci) was associated with a significantly higher ECW/TBW (p = 0.001). In the group with the most significant HRF, PhA was lower than in those with none or moderate amounts of HRF (p < 0.05). Bioimpedance fluid profiles of patients with OCT features of DME suggest a connection between the overall systemic state, including fluid status and DME development. Further research is required to fully understand and utilize this information for effective clinical assessment and treatment planning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
