Abstract
Objective: To determine the magnitude of the decrease in the risk of r etinopathy progression observed with intensive treatment and its relat ionship to baseline retinopathy severity and duration of follow-up. De sign: Randomized clinical trial, with 3 to 9 years of follow-up. Setti ng and Patients: Between 1983 and 1989, 29 centers enrolled 1441 patie nts with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus aged 13 to 39 years, incl uding 726 patients with no retinopathy and a duration of diabetes of 1 to 5 years (primary prevention cohort) and 715 patients with very mil d to moderate nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy and a duration of diabetes of 1 to 15 years (secondary intervention cohort). Ninety-five percent of all scheduled examinations were completed. Interventions: Intensive treatment consisted of the administration of insulin at leas t three times a day by injection or pump, with doses adjusted based on self-blood glucose monitoring and with the goal of normoglycemia. Con ventional treatment consisted of one or two daily insulin injections. Outcome Measures: Change between baseline and follow-up visits on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study retinopathy severity scale, assessed with masked gradings of stereoscopic color fundus photograph s obtained every 6 months. Results: Cumulative 8.5-year rates of retin opathy progression by three or more steps at two consecutive visits we re 54.1% with conventional treatment and 11.5% with intensive treatmen t in the primary prevention cohort and 49.2% and 17.1% in the secondar y intervention cohort. At the 6- and 12-month visits, a small adverse effect of intensive treatment was noted (''early worsening''), followe d by a beneficial effect that increased in magnitude with time. Beyond 3.5 years of follow-up, the risk of progression was five or more time s lower with intensive treatment than With conventional treatment. Onc e progression occurred, subsequent recovery was at lease two times mor e likely with intensive treatment than with conventional treatment. Tr eatment effects were similar in all baseline retinopathy severity subg roups. Conclusion: The results of the Diabetes Control and Complicatio ns Trial strongly support the recommendation that most patients with i nsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus use intensive treatment, aiming for levels of glycemia as close to the nondiabetic range as is safely pos sible.
