Previous studies have found that metformin can reduce cardiovascular risk, but
its association with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is unknown. In this
population-based cohort study using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research
Database (NHIRD), we demonstrated the protective effect of metformin against RVO
in diabetes mellitus (DM) and explored the incidence rate and factors associated
with RVO development in general and diabetic populations. One million patients
were randomly selected from the registry files of the NHIRD, and all their claims
data were collected for the 1996-2011 period. Patients with a new diagnosis of
central or branch RVO were identified using International Classification of
Disease codes. DM was defined for patients with diagnoses and treatments. Factors
associated with RVO development in the non-DM and DM cohorts were explored using
Cox proportional regression models. In total, 1,018 RVO patients were identified
from the database. The average incidence of RVO was 9.93 and 53.5 cases per
100,000 person-years in the non-DM and DM cohorts, respectively. Older age, DM,
hypertension, and glaucoma were significant risk factors for RVO, whereas the
prescription of anticoagulants was a significant protective factor. In the DM
cohort, older age, hypertension, and diabetic retinopathy were significant risk
factors for RVO, whereas metformin treatment was a significant protective factor.
These results confirmed the risk factors for RVO and demonstrated the protective
effect of metformin against RVO in DM patients. Prescribing metformin for DM
patients may be beneficial for reducing the incidence of RVO, along with its
hypoglycemic action.
