Association between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to apolipoprotein A ratio and diabetic retinopathy: A cross-sectional study

Our study is aimed to investigate the relationship between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to apolipoprotein A ratio (HDL-C/ApoA) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We retrospect the consecutive medical files of 1058 subjects with T2DM and recorded t...

Description
Summary:Our study is aimed to investigate the relationship between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to apolipoprotein A ratio (HDL-C/ApoA) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We retrospect the consecutive medical files of 1058 subjects with T2DM and recorded their clinical information and laboratory findings. Subjects with T2DM were divided into DR group (n = 522) and non-DR group (n = 536). We compared the lipids values of the two groups. Meanwhile we also observed the prevalence of DR at different HDL-C/ApoA levels. Binary logistic regression was used to correct confounding factors. Smooth curve fitting model and subgroup analysis were used to determine the correlation, non-linear relationship and threshold effect between HDL/ApoA and DR. HDL-C/ApoA value of DR group was significantly higher than non-DR group (0.88 ± 0.17 vs 0.84 ± 0.13, P 0.759, HDL/ApoA was significantly positively associated with DR (HR = 26.508, 95 % CI 7.623–92.174; P
