Adjusted Odds of Timely Receipt of Diabetes-Related Preventive Services by Pattern of Use
| Pattern of Use* | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Diabetes-Related Preventive Service | Infrequent OR (95% CI)† | Lower-Priority OR (95% CI)† | Higher-Priority OR (95% CI)† |
| OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; HbA1C = hemoglobin A1C; ref = reference group. | |||
| * Includes fewer patients than bivariate analyses because of missing data. | |||
| † Odds ratios adjusted for age, sex, marital status, ethnicity, education, comorbidity (RxRisk score), number of diabetes complications, treatment intensity, depression status, and clinic site. | |||
| ‡ Among patients not prescribed an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor. | |||
| ≥ 1 HbA1C test in previous year (n = 4,347) | 0.35 (0.24–0.51) | 0.59 (0.35–1.01) | ref |
| ≥ 3 HbA1C tests in previous year if HbA1C ≥ 8% (n = 1,837) | 0.44 (0.35–0.56) | 0.80 (0.57–1.12) | ref |
| ≥ 1 retinal examinations in previous year (n = 4,347) | 0.74 (0.63–0.86) | 0.68 (0.56–0.84) | ref |
