We found that compared with oral hypoglycemic medication, oral hypoglycemic medication plus insulin treatment revealed an insignificant relationship with postoperative DME (odds ratio [OR]=0.8, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.12-5.21, P=0.8167), only insulin treatment revealed a significant association with postoperative DME (OR=0.10, 95% CI: 0.01-0.84, P=0.0337) after adjusted age, sex. After adjusted age, sex, diabetes mellitus (DM) duration, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), the results did not have obvious changes (OR=0.61, 95% CI: 0.09-4.26, P=0.6187; OR=0.07, 95% CI: 0.01-0.65, P=0.0197). Furthermore, after adjusted age, sex, DM duration, HbA1c, hypertension, intraoperative retinal photocoagulation, vitreous hemorrhage, macular detachment, fibrovascular membrane, intraocular lens implantation and microincision vitrectomy surgery, the results were consistent (OR=0.66, 95% CI: 0.05-9.49, P=0.7621; OR=0.06, 95% CI: 0.00-0.81, P=0.0342).

Well glycemic control with longstanding insulin therapy may be beneficial to reduce the risks of postoperative DME in PDR patients. Our investigation calls for large-scale and long-term prospective clinical studies for a full evaluation of the exact role of insulin in the progression of postoperative
