Evaluating Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index and Mortality in Diabetic Retinopathy: A NHANES 2005–2018 Cohort Study

Key Points

To evaluate the relationship between systemic immune inflammation and mortality risk in individuals with diabetic retinopathy.
Utilized NHANES data from 2005 to 2018
Assessed levels of systemic immune inflammation
Analyzed mortality risk in adults diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy
Elevated immune inflammation is linked to higher mortality risk
Findings indicate potential as a prognostic biomarker for diabetic retinopathy
Results highlight limitations of traditional risk factors in predicting mortality

Abstract

These findings suggest that elevated systemic immune inflammation may independently predict long-term mortality risk in adults with DR, highlighting its potential value as a prognostic biomarker beyond traditional risk factors.
