Objective: Advanced proliferative diabetic retinopathy can lead to serious ophthalmological complications, including blindness. This research aimed to determine visual outcomes after pars plana vitrectomy secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy, as well as to identify its predictors. Methods: This prospective clinical study was performed in the Ophthalmology Clinic of the Clinical Centre University of Sarajevo. 60 subjects (eyes) with performed pars plana vitrectomy secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy were included in the study. Results: After univariate linear regression analysis, glucose, HbA1c, vascular endothelial growth factor, previous pan-retinal laser photocoagulation, baseline best corrected visual acuity, gas injection, vitreous haemorrhage, iris rubeosis, and glaucoma were found to be statistically significant parameters associated with postoperative visual outcome (p<0.05). Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between factors and postoperative best corrected visual acuity. Only intravitreal vascular endothelial growth factor concentration, previous pan-retinal photocoagulation, and gas injection remained statistically significant associated with postoperative best corrected visual acuity (p<0.05). Conclusion: Vitrectomy is an effective treatment for advanced proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Factors correlated with the better visual outcome are good systemic control, previous pan-retinal photocoagulation, low intravitreal vascular endothelial growth factor concentration, younger age, intraoperative internal gas tamponade, combined phacoemulsification and pars plana vitrectomy surgery, and the absence of postoperative complications. Abbreviations: PDR = proliferative diabetic retinopathy, VEGF = vascular endothelial growth factor, TDR = tractional retinal detachment, BCVA = best corrected visual acuity, DR = diabetic retinopathy, RDD = rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, NVG = neovascular glaucoma, BRVO = branch retinal vein occlusion, CBC = complete blood count, DBT = differential blood count, ESR = erythrocyte sedimentation rate, HbA1c = glycosylated hemoglobin, PHACO = phacoemulsification, ILM = internal limiting membrane, PPV = pars plana vitrectomy, IOP = intraocular pressure, PRP = pan-retinal photocoagulation, ETDRS = Early treatment diabetic retinopathy study.

D012163 Retinal Detachment Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium. Retinal detachment occurs more commonly in men than in women, in eyes with degenerative myopia, in aging and in aphakia. It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery.

D006442 Glycated Hemoglobin Products of non-enzymatic reactions between GLUCOSE and HEMOGLOBIN (occurring as a minor fraction of the hemoglobin of ERYTHROCYTES.) It generally refers to glycated HEMOGLOBIN A. Hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) is hemoglobin A with GLYCATION on a terminal VALINE of the beta chain. Glycated hemoglobin A is used as an index of the average blood sugar level over a lifetime of erythrocytes.

D042442 Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors A family of angiogenic proteins that are closely-related to VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR A. They play an important role in the growth and differentiation of vascular as well as lymphatic endothelial cells. VEGFs
D042461 Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A The original member of the family of endothelial cell growth factors referred to as VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTORS. Vascular endothelial growth factor-A was originally isolated from tumor cells and referred to as "tumor angiogenesis factor" and "vascular permeability factor". Although expressed at high levels in certain tumor-derived cells it is produced by a wide variety of cell types. In addition to stimulating vascular growth and vascular permeability it may play a role in stimulating VASODILATION via NITRIC OXIDE-dependent pathways. Alternative splicing of the mRNA for vascular endothelial growth factor A results in several isoforms of the protein being produced.
