Abstract: Objective: To compare the differences in clinical-related factors between patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and those without diabetic retinopathy (DR) and to explore the risk factors or protective factors affecting DR in T2DM patients. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 380 patients with type 2 diabetes admitted to Handan Central Hospital from June 2023 to May 2024. Clinical data collected included baseline characteristics, hematological tests, metabolic indicators, and information on diabetic complications and comorbidities. Results: Our findings identified intervention, neck vascular disease, bilateral lower limb venous thrombosis, high creatinine, high glomerular filtration rate, high chloride, high fasting C-peptide, and high lactate dehydrogenase as risk factors for DR. In contrast, High 2-hour postprandial C-peptide is a protective factor for diabetic retinopathy. A logistic regression model was constructed using stepwise regression to predict DR occurrence, achieving an accuracy of 0.80 and an AUC of 0.83.
