Table 3. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis of risk factors for PDR.

Variate Univariate logistic regression analysis Variate in the equation Multivariate logistic forward regression analysis
OR 95%CI       P OR 95%CI       P
TNF- α 1.31 1.06–1.61 0.013* TNF- α 1.28 1.03–1.58 0.025*
IL-17 0.45 0.21–0.96 0.038* IL-17 0.55 0.25–1.25 0.256

OR=odds ratios, CI=confidence intervals. *P value was significant (p<0.05) We subdivided the diabetic group into two groups: no PDR (n=38, NDR and NPDR) and PDR (n=20). Univariate analysis screened TNF-α and IL-17 as related factors to PDR; OR values were 1.31 (p=0.013) and 0.45 (p=0.038), respectively. After that, multivariate logistic forward regression analysis excluded other factors except TNF-α (OR=1.28, p=0.025).
