Abstract
Aims
To assess the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who had a prior diagnosis of psoriasis, compared with those without psoriasis.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study utilized the TriNetX database. 85,691 patients with T2DM and comorbid psoriasis and propensity-score matched 85,691 patients with T2DM without psoriasis were analyzed. The primary outcome was the risk of DR. Secondary outcomes included the risks of vision-threatening DR (VTDR), non-proliferative DR (NPDR) and its severity gradations, proliferative DR (PDR), and diabetic macular edema (DME). Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs).
Results
Psoriasis group had higher risks of DR (HR [95 % CI] = 2.111 [1.871, 2.383]), VTDR (HR [95 % CI] = 2.424 [1.937, 3.034]), NPDR (HR [95 % CI] = 2.152 [(1.854, 2.497)]), mild NPDR (HR [95 % CI] = 2.082 [1.765, 2.457]), moderate NPDR (HR [95 % CI] = 2.848 [2.000, 4.056]), PDR (HR [95 % CI] = 2.622 [1.753, 3.922]), and DME (HR [95 % CI] = 2.312 [1.794, 2.981]), but not severe NPDR.
Conclusions
Psoriasis is associated with an increased risk of DR in patients with T2DM, highlighting the need for heightened clinical vigilance regarding DR in patients with T2DM and psoriasis.
