OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; BMI: body mass index; ADR: adverse drug reaction; DM: diabetes mellitus. All independent variables were analyzed using multiple logistic regression analysis to calculate the odds ratio. The OR presented is adjusted for age, gender, and BMI in logistic regression analysis. ∗ p ≤ 0.05 was considered as significant.
