Variable | OR | (95% CI) | OR | (95% CI) | OR | (95% CI) | OR | (95% CI) |

* Compares continuity score of 1.00 with continuity score of 0.00. | ||||||||
† Number of outpatient visits during study year for which diabetes was listed as any of 3 diagnoses. | ||||||||
‡ Reference group is endocrinologist. | ||||||||
§ Reference group is 55-64 years. | ||||||||
# Reference group is male. | ||||||||
¶ For each diabetic complication, comparison is presence vs absence of complication. | ||||||||
# Reference group is nonmetropolitan. | ||||||||
** For each ambulatory diagnostic group (ADG), comparison is presence vs absence of ADG; only ADGs significant at P <.05 for 1 or more outcomes are included in this table. | ||||||||
