Association between cystatin C and diabetic retinopathy among type 2 diabetic patients in China: a Meta-analysis

AIM: To explore the correlation between cystatin C (Cys-C) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in those patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in China. METHODS: Articles were collected from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Clinical Trial...

description AIM: To explore the correlation between cystatin C (Cys-C) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in those patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in China. METHODS: Articles were collected from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Clinical Trials.gov, and Google Scholar. Quality and risk of bias within included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS). Heterogeneity was determined by using Cochran's Q-test and Higgins I2 statistics. Mean differences (MDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of Cys-C within the diabetes without retinopathy (DWR) and DR, DWR and non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), NPDR and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) were collected by using random-effects model because of high heterogeneity. Meta-analysis was conducted based on 23 articles of 2331 DR including NPDR and PDR patients and 2023 DWR patients through Review Manager 5.3. Subgroup analyses were also performed according to DM duration, body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol (TC), total triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein C (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein C (HDL-C), sample origins and methods. Publication bias was assessed by the funnel plot. RESULTS: Cys-C level in DR patients was increased compared with that of DWR (total MD: 0.69, 95%CI: 0.41 to 0.97, Z=4.79, P<0.01). Besides, the synthesized results of the studies showed the similar findings in the DWR vs NPDR group (total MD: 0.29, 95%CI 0.20 to 0.39, Z=6.02, P<0.01) and the NPDR vs PDR group (total MD: 0.63, 95%CI 0.43 to 0.82, Z=6.33, P<0.01). Heterogeneity of most of the subgroup analyses was still obvious (I2?≥?50%, P?<?0.1). Forest plots of different subgroups indicated that there was a slight increase of Cys-C during the period between DWR and DR, DWR and NPDR, NPDR and PDR. Funnel plot showed that there was no significant publication bias. CONCLUSION: The elevated Cys-C is closely related with DR and probably plays a critical role in its progression.
