Factors associated with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes: the Japan Diabetes Complication and its Prevention prospective study (JDCP study 4).

ABSTRACT:

Aims

This study aims to identify associations of non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) in the Japan Diabetes Complication and its Prevention prospective (JDCP) study, a nation-wide study capturing real-world practice for diabetes in Japan.

Methods

We recruited patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus aged between 40 and 75 years from 464 hospitals and clinics. Seven thousand and seven hundred patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria, and 5852 patients were included for this specific analysis. Multiple logistic regression models were used to identify associated factors of NPDR.

Results

Of the 363 patients with type 1 diabetes, 83 patients (22.8%) had NPDR; there were significant associations of duration of diabetes and high-density lipoprotein cholest
