Abstract:
Objective To explore the correlation between diabetic retinopathy(DR)and five circuits and six qi of birthdate.Methods A questionnaire survey was carried out.The general clinical data and the birthdate five-circuit and six-qi data were collected from 1 227 patients with diabetes mellitus(DM)who were treated in clinic or hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine and the Guangdong Second Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from May 22,2019 to September 13,2021.Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to explore the correlation of DR with the general clinical data and the birthdate five-circuit and six-qi data.Results(1)The analysis of the general clinial data showed that DR patients had higher levels of uric acid(UA),serum creatinine(Scr)and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio(UACR)than the patients with simple DM,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(2)The analysis of the birthdate five-circuit and six-qi data showed that DR patients were usually born in the year of earth phase with the dominant qi being yangming dry gold or taiyin damp earth,and with the guest qi being taiyin damp earth.Compared with the simple DM group,the proportion of sitian-zaiquan semiannual circuit qi being shaoyang ministerial fire-jueyin wind wood in the DR group was significantly increased,and the proportion of sitian-zaiquan semiannual circuit qi being shaoyin monarch fire-yangming dry gold was significantly decreased,the differences being statistically significant(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(3)The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the sitian-zaiquan semiannual circuit qi being shaoyin monarch fire-yangming dry gold in DM patients was the independent protective factor for DR,and Scr and UACR were the independent risk factors for DR,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion The features of five circuits and six qi of birthdate in DM patients are correlated with the complication of DR to some extend;the DR patients are usually have the birthdate five circuits characterized by wood,earth and gold.
