Preoperative hemoglobin A1c is associated with postoperative bleeding after vitrectomy for vitreous hemorrhage in patients with diabetic retinopathy by Saori Motoda, Masanori Kanai, Susumu Sakimoto, Harutoshi Ozawa, Chisaki Ishibashi, Shingo Fujita, Yoshiya Hosokawa, Megu Y. Baden, Yukari Fujita, Takekazu Kimura, Ayumi Tokunaga, Takao Nammo, Kenji Fukui, Junji Kozawa, Hirokazu Sakaguchi, Kohji Nishida, Iichiro Shimomura

“…The present study showed that the duration of the operation was associated with rebleeding (odds ratio = 1.02, p = 0.0016). A high HbA1c level just before vitrectomy tended to be associated with the bleeding (odds ratio = 1.27, p = 0.05), while preoperative HbA1c changes were not associated with rebleeding. …”
