BP = blood pressure; D5 = all 5 diabetes components (glycemic control, BP control, LDL-C control, aspirin use if indicated, and tobacco-free status); EPCD = Enhanced Primary Care Diabetes; IRR = incident rate ratio; LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
↵a The IRR is the change in slope (monthly change in percentage of patients meeting the indicator).
↵b For comparison of IRRs between periods.
