The degree of DR ( r = 0.465, P < 0.001) and CRVE ( r = 0.366, P < 0.001) were positively correlated with the total MRI burden of CSVD. Patients with moderate to severe burden of CSVD were more likely than those with mild burden of CSVD to have narrowed retinal arterioles (105.24 ± 8.42 μm vs. In patients with more than mild DR, the proportion of moderate to severe burden of CSVD was 75%, which was higher than in patients with mild DR (48.1%) or NDR (26.2%). Results: Of the 151 diabetic patients included in the study, 84 (55.6%) had no diabetic retinopathy (NDR), 27 (17.9%) had mild DR, and 40 (26.5%) had moderate, or severe non-proliferative DR (grouped together for this study as “more than mild DR”). The total MRI burden score for CSVD was determined, and the relationship between retinal microvascular abnormalities and the total MRI burden of CSVD was analyzed.

The central retinal artery equivalent (CRAE), the central retinal venous equivalent (CRVE), and arteriole-to-venule ratio (AVR) were calculated using Image J software to determine the retinal vascular calibers for each patient. All patients underwent retinal photography and cerebral MRI. Methods: Data were collected from patients with type 2 diabetes who were hospitalized between December 2019 and November 2020 in Changzhou Second People’s Hospital affiliated to Nanjing Medical University. This study aimed to explore the relationship between retinal microvascular abnormalities and the total MRI burden of CSVD in patients with type 2 diabetes. The total magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) burden of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) tends to be increased in diabetic patients and is a marker of microvascular disease however, the relationship between DR and CSVD is unclear. Department of Neurology, Changzhou Second People’s Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University, Changzhou, Chinaīackground and Purpose: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the common microvascular complications in diabetes.Ying Zhang † Zhixiang Zhang † Min Zhang * Yin Cao * Wenwei Yun *
