Regional variations in non-communicable comorbid diseases and its management in the patient of medical retinal diseases in India.

This supplementary data provides a comprehensive overview of a multi-center study on medical retinal diseases (MRDs) and non-communicable comorbid diseases (NCCDs) across different regions of India. The data is presented in five tables:

Table 1: Distribution of patients according to demographic characteristics

Presents age and gender distribution across six centers in different regions of India
Includes mean, median, and range of body weight and BMI for each center

Table 2: Distribution of patients according to retinal disease characteristics

Shows the prevalence of various retinal diseases (DR, BRVO, CRVO, ARMD) across centers
Includes both single and multiple retinal disease occurrences

Table 3: Distribution of patients according to multiple retinal diseases

Provides a detailed breakdown of patients with multiple retinal diseases
Highlights regional variations in the co-occurrence of different retinal conditions

Table 4: Zone-wise distribution of Non-communicable comorbid diseases and addiction history

Presents the prevalence of various NCCDs (e.g., DM, HTN, CAD, CKD) across centers
Includes data on addiction history (alcohol and tobacco use)

Table 5: Zone-wise distribution of Non-communicable comorbid diseases and their management

Offers insights into the management strategies for various NCCDs across centers
Provides data on medication types and interventions for conditions like DM, HTN, CAD, and CKD

Key observations:

Significant regional variations in the prevalence of both MRDs and NCCDs
High prevalence of diabetes and hypertension across all centers
Varying patterns of multiple comorbidities and retinal disease co-occurrences
Differences in management strategies for NCCDs across regions

This data provides valuable insights into the complex interplay between retinal diseases and systemic comorbidities across different regions of India, highlighting the need for tailored healthcare strategies.
