Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between FGF19 level and diabetic retinopathy.Results: Serum FGF19 level was significantly lower in patients with diabetic retinopathy in those without diabetic retinopathy. The multivariable analysis revealed a significant association between serum FGF19 level and diabetic retinopathy (odds ratio for every 1 standard deviation increase in logarithmic value = 0.69, 95% confidence interval 0.51– 0.94, p = 0.019).Conclusion: Serum FGF19 level was negatively associated with diabetic retinopathy in patients with T2DM.Keywords: diabetic retinopathy, fibroblast growth factor 19, type 2 diabetes mellitus |
