Risk Models:
1: Ox LDL IC only
2: Adjusted for DCCT Treatment Group, Retinopathy Cohort, age, gender, baseline HbA1C %, CT Scanning location, Baseline AER, and Baseline Diabetes Duration.
3: Additionally Adjusted for Smoking Status and Systolic Blood Pressure
4: Additionally adjusted for baseline LDL
p < 0.05
p < 0.01
LDL was chosen for model inclusion based on significance within the model. HDL, Cholesterol, Triglycerides, and BMI were highly non-significant when included in the model, and were therefore removed from model 4.
