Sankara Nethralaya Diabetic Retinopathy Epidemiology And Molecular-genetics Study (SN-DREAMS, Report no. 3) 2009.0 5 .pdf application/pdf 3506 388 49 Background: To report the prevalence of ear lobe crease (ELC), a sign of coronary heart disease, were older, had longer duration of diabetes, had poor glycemic control and had a high socioeconomic status compared to the group without ELC and the variables were statistically significant. sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy, no variable was significant on multivariable analysis. predicting any diabetic retinopathy, the presence of ELC had sensitivity of 60.4%, and specificity, ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities) study suggest that the presence of diabetic retinopathy (microvascular disease) poses a two-fold higher risk of CHD with diabetic retinopathy in a population-based study. Compared to the gold standard — photographic classification — in diagnosing sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy, the presence of ELC had a sensitivity of 75%, and Similar observations were made in other population-based studies on diabetic retinopathy [12-15]. Regarding the association between ELC and sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy, the univariate analysis ./cache/work_omnhw3zyrzht5oow4my7ipgsmi.pdf ./txt/work_omnhw3zyrzht5oow4my7ipgsmi.txt
