Multivariate logistic regression analysis of diabetes mellitus in vitreous samples, estimation of odds ratio in the presence of different histopathological features.

Multivariate model
	OR (95% CI)	P value
Histopathological features
Spindle cells	0.499 (0.140–1.781)	NS
Retinal pigment epithelial cells	0.810 (0.297–2.212)	NS
Histiocytes	1.423 (0.481–4.208)	NS
Inflammatory cells	6.055 (0.384–95.478)	NS
Erythrocytes	4.976 (2.008–12.348)	0.001
Endothelial-lined vessels	7.267 (2.352–22.448)	0.001
Aneurismatic dilatation	0.825 (0.065–10.471)	NS
Ghost vessels	1.423 (0.456–4.561)	NS

OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; NS: nonsignificant.
