Vascular endothelial growth factor and diabetic complications

Journal ArticleDOI

Rates of progression in diabetic retinopathy during different time periods: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Since 1985, diabetic patients have lower rates of progression to PDR and SVL, which may reflect an increased awareness of retinopathy risk factors; earlier identification and initiation of care for patients withretinopathy; and improved medical management of glucose, blood pressure, and serum lipids.

Gülgün Tezel, +67 more

Journal ArticleDOI
