Association of alcohol intake with risk of diabetic retinopathy: a meta-analysis of observational studies

Abstract Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). The associations of alcohol intake with DR risk have demonstrated contradictory results. Relevant studies were identified by searching electronic databases (Medline, EMBASE and Web of Science) until...
