Establishment and validation of a prognostic nomogram for long-term low vision after diabetic vitrectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We aimed to evaluate the risk factors and develop a prognostic nomogram of long-term low vision after diabetic vitrectomy.

Methods

This retrospective study included 186 patients (250 eyes) that underwent primary vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy with a minimum follow-up period of one year. Patients were assigned to the training cohort (200 eyes) or validation cohort (50 eyes) at a 4:1 ratio randomly. Based on a cutoff value of 0.3 in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) measurement, the training cohort was separated into groups with or without low vision. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed on preoperative systemic and ocular characteristics to develop a risk prediction model and nomogram. The calibration curve and t
