Fig. 2From: Proliferative diabetic retinopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes correlates with the presence of atherosclerosis cardiovascular diseaseOdds ratios for ASCVD with/without DR and different degree of DR. Binary logistic regression was conducted to assess the association of ASCVD with DR (a) and different degrees of DR: NPDR (b) and PDR (c) using the Entry method; adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and the 95% confidence intervals (CIs) given. Adjustment variables included the basic confounders (age, sex, family history of ASCVD and duration of DM) in Model 1. In Model 2, smoking, alcohol, educational level, physical activity, obesity (central or general obesity), history of hypertension, SBP, DBP, HbA1c, LDL-C and eGFR were also considered other adjustment variables and were thus added to Model 1Back to article page
