Relationship between renal function and prognosis of Chinese proliferative diabetic retinopathy patients undergoing the first vitrectomy: protocol for a prospective cohort study

Introduction China has the largest number of adults with diabetes aged 20–79 years (116.4 million) in 2019. Due to the socioeconomic condition or a lack of awareness of diabetic complications, many adults with diabetes have proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) or renal function impairment at the...

description Introduction China has the largest number of adults with diabetes aged 20–79 years (116.4 million) in 2019. Due to the socioeconomic condition or a lack of awareness of diabetic complications, many adults with diabetes have proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) or renal function impairment at their first visit to the clinic for a sudden loss of vision, and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is required for their treatment. Risk factors for the outcomes and complications of PPV surgery in PDR patients have been widely explored in many epidemiological studies and clinical trials. However, few prospective studies have analysed the association between renal function and surgical outcomes in PDR.Methods and analysis This is a single-centre, prospective cohort study of PDR patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have definite indications for PPV surgery with or without renal function impairment. We will consecutively enrol PDR patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria from November 2020 to December 2023. Each participant will be followed up for at least 6 months after surgery. Clinical data from medical records and vitreous fluid will be collected.Demographic characteristics and study outcomes will be summarised using descriptive statistics. The variation will be described and evaluated using the χ² test or Kruskal-Wallis test. Generalise additive mixed models will be used to explore the association between the renal profile and surgical outcomes including BCVA, and retinal and choroidal microvasculature/microstructure. Multivariate ordinal regression analysis will be used to detect the independent association between renal profile and BCVA changes, and smooth curve fitting will be employed to briefly present the tendency.Ethics and dissemination The trial has received ethical approval from the West China Hospital of Sichuan University. Results of this trial will be disseminated through publication in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at local and international meetings.Trial registration number ChiCTR2000039698.
