Racial/Ethnic Disparities in TDR, DME, and Other Vision Threats in Patients With DR
Wednesday, 15 April, 2026
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.
