P-Values do not account for patients who were lost to follow-up between the two groups.
Student’s T-test or Wilcoxon Rank Sum was used for continuous variables depending upon the normalcy of distribution.
F/u=follow-up. HgbA1c=hemoglobin A1c. IQR=interquartile range. Lbs=pounds. LTFU=lost to follow-up. SD=standard deviation. PTBWL=percent total body weight loss.
