Factors associated with patient quality of life (EQ5D VAS) – linear regression analyses
| Variable | Coefficient | p-value |
| Age | -0.10 | 0.318 |
| Hypoglycemic episodes (Yes) | -4.66 | 0.017 |
| H/O Macro-vascular complications | -2.18 | 0.257 |
| Years since T2DM Diagnosis | -0.41 | 0.045 |
| Metformin+TZD at index date | 4.81 | 0.046 |
| N = 346 | ||
The adjusted linear regression reported in model contains all variables that were significant at p ≤ 0.20 in the univariate analysis. Instead of the hypoglycemia symptom severity effects it contains an indicator for hypoglycemia
