Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the change of platelets in neovascular glaucoma secondary to diabetic retinopathy and analyze its clinical significance.

Methods

This retrospective, case-control study involved a total of 288 subjects enrolled from January 2010 to December 2016 at Taian Central Hospital, including patients with NVG secondary to diabetic retinopathy (n=88), diabetes mellitus without retinopathy (n=104), and healthy individuals (n=96). The data of all the subjects were collected. NVG was divided into two categories: open-angle NVG and close-angle NVG. Independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis in this study.

Results

There was no statistical difference in mean age or gender among the three groups. The mean levels of platelet distribution width (PDW), plateletcrit (PCT), and mean platelet volume (MPV) were higher in the NVG group compared with the control group [(16.14 ± 1.54) fl vs (13.69 ± 2.99) fl, (0.223 ± 0.059) % vs (0.196 ± 0.043) %, (10.69 ± 1.53) fl vs (9.78 ± 0.92) fl, respectively]. The mean level of PDW was higher in the NVG group compared with the diabetes mellitus group [(16.14 ± 1.54) fl vs (13.89 ± 3.35) fl]. There was no significant difference between the open-angle NVG and close-angle NVG groups. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that PDW (OR=1.519, 95% CI: 1.244-1.854, P<0.001) and MPV (OR=3.066, 95% CI: 1.156-8.134, P=0.024) were independent risk factors for NVG.

Conclusion

PDW and MPV are associated with NVG, suggesting that platelets might play an important role in the development of NVG.
