Key result
In a 5-year cohort of 622 patients with type 2 diabetes, the incidence density of diabetic retinopathy was 1.81% person-year, with diabetes duration >10 years (aHR 2.28) as a major risk factor.
Cohort (n=622)
No
In a Chinese community cohort, the incidence of diabetic retinopathy was 1.81% per person-year, driven by risk factors including male gender, hypertension, longer diabetes duration, and poor glycemic and lipid control.

May guide duration-based retinopathy risk stratification; leaves open whether findings alter screening practices in diverse populations.
Liu et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Type 2 Diabetes (n=622). Risk factors (male gender, hypertension, diabetes duration > 10 years, uncontrolled diabetes, total cholesterol ≥ 200 mg/dL, HbA1c ≥ 7%) vs. Absence of respective risk factors was evaluated on Incidence density of diabetic retinopathy (95% CI 1.21-2.43). In a 5-year cohort of 622 patients with type 2 diabetes, the incidence density of diabetic retinopathy was 1.81% person-year, with diabetes duration >10 years (aHR 2.28) as a major risk factor.
