Adjusted Odds of Timely Receipt of Diabetes-Related Preventive Services by Pattern of Use

Pattern of Use*
Diabetes-Related Preventive ServiceInfrequent 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.
