While HbA1C approached significance in the PDR group (B = 0.931, OR = 2.530, p = 0.063), indicating a trend where higher HbA1C values were associated with higher PDR risk, it did not significantly predict NPDR.
While HbA1C approached significance in the PDR group (B = 0.931, OR = 2.530, p = 0.063), indicating a trend where higher HbA1C values were associated with higher PDR risk, it did not significantly predict NPDR.
However, logistic regression analysis revealed that UACR did not reach statistical significance for DN (B = 0.10, OR = 1.01, p = 0.080), indicating that while UACR may play a role in microvascular health, it may not be a robust predictor for DN specifically.
However, UACR showed a borderline significant effect (p = 0.080).
While gender was not a statistically significant predictor in our study, we observed a slight trend towards higher odds of microvascular complications in males, suggesting the need for further investigation into potential gender-specific risk factors [ 30 ].
