Abstract

Background: Diabetic retinopathy is a microvascular disease of the retina that is progressive and threatens vision. One of the risk factors that can influence diabetic retinopathy is blood pressure. High blood pressure can worsen retinal microvascular conditions as it can cause blood vessels to thicken, leak, and form new ones.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between blood pressure levels and the diabetic retinopathy stage at Karsa Husada General Hospital, Batu City.

Methods: This research is an analytical observational study with a cross sectional study design. Data was collected from hospital medical records. There were a total of 40 cases of diabetic retinopathy at Karsa Husada General Hospital, Batu City in 2020-2022. The sample size consists of 32 patients which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data collection technique uses a non-probability sampling technique, purposive sampling type. Data analysis uses univariate and
bivariate analysis.

Results: 28.1% of patients had normal blood pressure, 21.9% had normal-high blood pressure, 31.3% had hypertension grade 1, and
18.8% had hypertension grade 2. There were 14 (43.8%) diagnosed with Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR), meanwhile there were 18 (56.3%) diagnosed with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR). Bivariate data analysis conducted using the Chi Square test yielded a p value of 0.315.

Conclusion: Despite the established understanding that hypertension can exacerbate microvascular complications in the retina, our findings suggest that there is no significant relationship between blood pressure levels and diabetic retinopathy stage.
