Are patients with DR at higher risk for TDR, DME, vitreous hemorrhage, or blindness based on race or ethnicity ? Jordan Deaner, MD, moderates a discussion with Vaidehi Dedania, MD, and Rehan Hussain, MD, about a large retrospective cohort study examining more than 627,000 US patients with DR. The panel examines why Black and Hispanic patients faced significantly higher rates of adverse outcomes at 1 and 5 years after diagnosis and unpacks what confounding variables the study could not capture. They consider what these findings should mean for screening strategies, patient education, and the day-to-day management of high-risk diabetic patients in clinic.
