Incremental prognostic value of the International Clinical Diabetic Retinopathy Disease Severity Scale, the Renal Pathology Society Diabetic Nephropathy Classification, and diabetic macular edema results over clinical information by global χ², AIC, and BIC. Model 1: standard clinical assessment of established risk factors for ESKD model (age, gender, BMI, diabetic duration, systolic blood pressure, hemoglobin A1c, triglycerides, eGFR, and UACR). Model 2: model 1 + DKD. Model 3: model 1 + DR. Model 4: model 1 + DME. AIC, Akaike’s information criterion; BIC, Bayesian information criterion; BMI, body mass index; DME, diabetic macular edema; DKD, diabetic kidney disease; DR, diabetic retinopathy; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; ESKD, end-stage kidney disease; UACR, urine albumin to creatinine ratio.
