Renal Function but Not Asymmetric Dimethylarginine Is Independently Associated with Retinopathy in Type 2 Diabetes

Table 5

Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis including diabetic retinopathy as dependent variable and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and possible confounders as independent variables.

		Odds ratio (95% CI)	𝑃 value
Univariate model	GFR (10 mL/min/1.73 m^2 decrease)	1.32 (1.13–1.54)	.001
Multivariate model	GFR (10 mL/min/1.73 m^2 decrease)	1.30 (1.08–1.56)	.006
	ADMA (per 1 SD log increase)	1.17 (0.73–1.90)	.518
	DM2 duration (per 1 SD log increase)	1.27 (0.80–2.01)	.306
	MVD versus no MVD	0.88 (0.37–2.10)	.881

GFR: glomerular filtration rate calculated with the MDRD formula; 95% CI: 95% confidence interval; DM2: diabetes mellitus type 2.
