Correlation of gut microbial diversity to sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy
Based on clinical diagnosis, decreasing gut microbial diversity was observed among patients with STDR, although not statistically significant. When utilizing B/F ratio, the decreasing gut microbial diversity in STDR patients seems to be associated due to species richness and evenness in PDR when compared to decreasing species richness in CSME.
