Abstract

Background

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision impairment in type 2 diabetes. This study aims to clarify the association between baseline triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio and DR risk in type 2 diabetes patients to aid in prevention and treatment strategies.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included 1049 patients with type 2 diabetes who met the inclusion criteria and underwent health examinations at our hospital from January 2017 to December 2023. All patients completed seven follow-up visits within seven years. Baseline data from 2017 were utilized for the analysis. The Kaplan-Meier method and the Cox proportional hazards regression model and restricted cubic spline (RCS) method were employed to analyze the association between baseline serum TG/HDL-C ratio and the risk of DR.

Results

A total of 1049 patients were included in the cohort, with a median follow-up period of seven years. During the follow-up period, 124 new cases of DR were identified, with an incidence rate of 11.8 %. The incidence of DR showed an upward trend with increasing baseline TG/HDL-C ratio. After adjusting for various potential confounding factors in the Cox proportional hazards regression model, high TG/HDL-C ratio levels were identified as a risk factor for DR (HR=3.04, 95 % CI 1.55–5.98, P = 0.0029).In the dose-response relationship analysis, a significant nonlinear relationship was observed between the TG/HDL-C ratio and the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) (nonlinear P value = 0.029). The risk of DR significantly increased when the TG/HDL-C ratio reached 3.3 (HR = 1.56, 95 % CI: 1.17–2.10, P = 0.003) and then leveled off.

Conclusion

High TG/HDL-C ratio is closely associated with the occurrence of DR and has a certain predictive value for the onset of DR.

血清TG/HDL-C比值对2型糖尿病患者糖尿病视网膜病变风险的队列研究

背景：糖尿病视网膜病变（DR）是2型糖尿病视力损害的主要原因。本研究旨在阐明2型糖尿病患者基线甘油三酯与高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（TG/HDL-C）比值与DR风险之间的关系，以帮助制定预防和治疗策略。方法：回顾性队列研究纳入2017年1月至2023年12月在我院接受健康检查的1049例符合纳入标准的2型糖尿病患者。所有患者在7年内完成了7次随访。2017年的基线数据被用于分析。采用Kaplan-Meier法、Cox比例风险回归模型和限制性三次样条（RCS）法分析基线血清TG/HDL-C比值与dr风险的关系。结果：共纳入1049例患者，中位随访时间为7年。随访期间，发现124例新发DR，发病率为11.8 %。随着基线TG/HDL-C比值的增加，DR的发生率呈上升趋势。在Cox比例风险回归模型中调整了各种潜在的混杂因素后，高TG/HDL-C比值水平被确定为DR的危险因素（HR=3.04, 95 % CI 1.55-5.98, P = 0.0029）。在剂量-反应关系分析中，TG/HDL-C比值与糖尿病视网膜病变（DR）风险之间存在显著的非线性关系（非线性P值= 0.029）。当TG/HDL-C比值达到3.3时，DR风险显著增加（HR = 1.56, 95 % CI: 1.17-2.10, P = 0.003），之后趋于平稳。结论：高TG/HDL-C比值与DR的发生密切相关，对DR的发病有一定的预测价值。数据可得性：支持本研究结果的数据可由通讯作者合理要求获得。由于与资助机构的保密协议，这些数据不公开。
