Table 3. Logistic regression analysis for the association with proliferative diabetic retinopathy among type 2 diabetic patients.

Risk factor Odds ratio (95% CI)* p
CC genotype** 1.1 (0.7–1.6) 0.7
Patients on insulin therapy (%) 3.3 (1.9–5.7) < 0.001
Age of diabetes onset 1.06 (1.029–1.09) < 0.001
Duration of diabetes (years) 1.025 (0.983–1.068) 0.2

The asterisk indicates CI is confidence interval; the double asterisk shows the VEGF -634 C/G polymorphism. In the logistic regression model diabetes duration, age of diabetes onset, and incidence of insulin therapy were demonstrated to be an independent risk factor for PDR, whereas the CC genotype of the VEGF polymorphism was not an independent risk factor for PDR. The odd ratio for the CC genotype of the –634 C/G VEGF gene polymorphism is 1.1, 95% confidence interval is 0.7-1.6; p=0.7.
