The percent change in UTI count per 1 unit increase in covariate was reported using the equation, [EXP(β)-1]*100.

Defined at EDIC year 17 by the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument >6 responses on the questionnaire or a score of >2 on the exam.

Autonomic testing completed in EDIC year 16/17 and abnormal finding defined as R-R variation<15 or RR variation<20 in combination with a Valsalva ratio≤1.5 or a decrease of >10 mm Hg in diastolic BP upon standing.

§

Nephropathy defined as AER≥30 mg/24hr at EDIC years 17/18.
