Summary: | Aims/Introduction
To investigate the associations between parathyroid hormone (PTH) and non‐proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Materials and Methods
Data were collected from 2,322 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in hospital between 2017 and 2019. The odds ratio (OR) and the corresponding 95% confidence interval related to the quartiles of PTH were obtained by logistic regression analysis after adjusting the potential confounding variation.
Results
The patients were stratified into quartiles (Q1–Q4) based on the PTH levels, with the cut‐off limits of ≤23.74, 23.74–29.47, 29.47–37.30 and >37.30 pg/mL in men, and ≤24.47, 24.47–31.22, 31.22–39.49 and >39.49 pg/mL in women. The first quartile (Q1) represents the lowest quartile and the fourth quartile (Q4) is the highest. According to the quartiles (Q1–Q4), the prevalence rate of NPDR in patients showed a significantly decreasing trend (37.9%, 36.3%, 34.0% vs 24.0% in men; 43.2%, 40.5%, 31.1% vs 26.2% in women, both P |
