title: [Frequency and risk factors for diabetic macular edema in the wilaya of Constantine (Algeria)].
abstract: We conducted an exhaustive cross-sectional descriptive study, in 2009, on type 1 diabetics residing in the wilaya of Constantine. Our objective was to assess the frequency and risk factors associated with diabetic macular edema (DME) by mydriatic non-stereoscopic fundus photographs of nine retinal fields. The frequency of DME was 8.7%. There was no gender influence on the frequency of macular edema. There were as many men (46.4%) as women (53.6%) with ME (P = 0.8). On bivariate analysis, the duration of diabetes (P = 0.001), age (P = 0.0001), hypertension (P = 0.00001), renal involvement (P = 0.00001) and hypercholesterolemia (P = 0.01) were risk factors for DME.
