The incidence rates of diabetic retinopathy and blindness were significant at 34.6 and 8.33 per 1000 person-years, respectively, over five years.
Longer diabetes duration was associated with a hazard ratio of 1.37 for developing diabetic retinopathy and 2.00 for vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy.
Odds for developing diabetic retinopathy increased with obesity (1.75) and the presence of gangrene (2.54), highlighting critical co-morbidities.
Living in a rural area presented a 2.50 times greater risk for blindness, indicating geographical disparities in healthcare access.
