| Abstract |
While the correlation and chronology of appearance of diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy is well known in diabetes mellitus (DM) type 1 patients, in DM type 2 this correlation is less clear. A retrospective study including 917 patients with type 2 diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) was diagnosed based on fundus photographs taken with a non-mydriatic camera. Diabetic nephropathy (DN) was diagnosed based on urinary albumin concentration in a morning urine sample. Statistical analysis was performed with a seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) model. Our SUR model is statistically significant: the test for "model versus saturated" is 2.20 and its significance level is 0.8205. The model revealed that creatinine and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) have strong influence on albuminuria, while body mass index (BMI) and HbA1c have less significant impact. DR is affected positively by diabetes duration, insulin treatment, glucose levels, and HbA1c, and it is affected negatively by GFR, triglyceride levels, and BMI. The association between DR and DN was statistically significant and had a unidirectional correlation, which can be explained by chronological order; that is, DN precedes DR. The present study indicates that the level of renal impairment is proportional to the level of damage to the eye. Furthermore, such an association has a chronological aspect; the renal injury precedes retinal damage. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 January 2022.
All research outputs
#15,267,106
of 25,522,520 outputs
Outputs from International Ophthalmology
#356
of 1,177 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#135,178
of 270,616 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Ophthalmology
#3
of 19 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,522,520 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,177 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 270,616 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 19 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
