New Study Links Six Blood Indicators To Diabetic Retinopathy Progression

Research finds significant correlations between inflammatory markers and type 2 diabetic retinopathy stages, highlighting diagnostic potential.

This study investigates the correlations between six serological inflammatory markers and the various stages of type 2 diabetic retinopathy (T2DR).

The study examines the relationships between six inflammatory markers (SII, SIRI, AISI, NLR, PLR, and MLR) and the stages of diabetic retinopathy, finding significant correlations, particularly for the SII and PLR markers with T2DR progression.

Researchers from Mian Yang Central Hospital and the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University conducted the study, involving 397 patients with type 2 diabetes.

Data was collected from January 2023 to December 2023.

The research took place at two hospitals in China: Mian Yang Central Hospital and the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University.

The study aims to identify new biomarkers for the early diagnosis of T2DR to aid timely intervention and improve patient outcomes.

Clinical data was collected and analyzed using statistical methods, including logistic regression and ROC curve analysis, to evaluate the significance of inflammatory markers associated with different T2DR stages.

No additional facts found.

The SII values were found to be significantly higher in the PDR group compared to the NPDR group, which in turn were higher than those in the NDR group (P < 0.05).

The results of this study indicate... the potential of combining multiple indices to improve the diagnostic accuracy of T2DR.
