Abstract:
Objective:To explore the correlation between lower gastrointestinal tract symptoms and diabetic retinopathy and lower extremity artery disease in patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus.Methods:The clinical data of 128 patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus from August 2016 to March 2018 in Central Hospital of Shengli OilField were retrospectively analyzed. The general clinical data and laboratory indexes were recorded. The score was evaluated by lower gastrointestinal symptoms rating scale (LGSRS). Patients with the LGSRS score ≥6 scores were as positive group, and those with LGSRS score<6 scores were as negative group. Fundus photography and ultrasonic scanning of lower extremity artery disease were performed for each patient. The correlation between LGSRS score and diabetic retinopathy, lower extremity artery disease was analyzed by Logistic regression.Results:Positive group had 66 cases, and negative group had 62 cases. The age, duration of diabetic, LGSRS score and incidence of diabetic retinopathy in positive group were significantly higher than those in negative group: (64.24 ± 10.43) years vs. (59.57 ± 12.50) years, (14.67 ± 1.28) years vs. (10.98 ± 1.25) years, (8.65 ± 2.38) scores vs. (2.77 ± 1.49) scores and 98.48% (65/66) vs. 69.35% (43/62), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05 or<0.01). There were no statistical difference in gender, body mass index, glycated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, 2 h postprandial blood glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol and incidence of diabetic retinopathy between 2 groups ( P>0.05). After adjusting for age, duration of diabetic, glycated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride and total cholesterol, the LGSRS score showed positive correlation with diabetic lower extremity artery disease ( OR = 1.174, 95% CI 1.065 to 1.470, P = 0.001), but there was no correlation between LGSRS score and diabetic retinopathy ( P = 0.313). Conclusions:In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, lower gastrointestinal tract symptoms has positive correlation with diabetic lower extremity artery disease, and no correlation with diabetic retinopathy. It suggests that there may be a common pathological mechanism between lower gastrointestinal tract symptoms and diabetic lower extremity artery disease.
