PG - 275-283 LID - 10.2147/DMSO.S394607 [doi] AB - AIM: This study aims to develop a nomogram for predicting vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy (VTDR) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In case-control analysis, 440 patients with mild NPDR or VTDR were enrolled to identify predictors and develop a nomogram. In the prospective cohort, 120 T2DM patients with mild NPDR were enrolled for external validation. Sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) were calculated to evaluate the predictive performance of the nomogram. RESULTS: In case-control analysis, 2-h C-peptide (OR = 0.85, 95% CI: 0.75 to 0.95, p = 0.006), sural nerve conduction impaired (SNCI) (mildly: OR = 2.18, 95% CI: 1.10 to 4.33, p = 0.026; moderately/severely: 3.66, 95% CI: 1.74 to 7.70, p < 0.001) and UACR (microalbuminuria: OR = 2.37, 95% CI: 1.25 to 4.48, p = 0.008; macroalbuminuria: 4.02, 95% CI: 1.61 to 10.06, p = 0.003) were identified as independent predictors. The concordance index of the prediction nomogram was 0.76 in the training set. In the test set, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC were 84.8%, 60.6%, and 0.73, respectively. In the prospective cohort, median follow-up period was 42 months, and 15 patients (12.5%) developed VTDR. Sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of prediction were 66.7%, 89.5%, and 0.75, respectively. CONCLUSION: Introducing 2-h C-peptide, UACR, and SNCI, the nomogram demonstrated a good discriminatory power for predicting risk of VTDR in mild NPDR individuals. CI - (c) 2023 Ke et al.
