Table 3.

Adjusted comparisons of clinical data of patients with the highest-risk haplotype combination (HLA-DRB1*03:01-DQA1*05:01-DQB1*02:01/DRB1*04-DQA1*03:01-DQB1*03:02) vs. other HLA-DRB1*03 or DRB1*04 haplotype combinations and those without one of the highest-risk alleles.

Data are adjusted estimates from mixed linear, mixed Poisson or fixed effects logistic regression adjusting for sex and diabetes duration. 1 F-Test from linear or Poisson regression for continuous or variables and Χ2-Test from logistic regression for variables categorical; 2 Total number of observation years contributed by patients (varying dependent on performed measurements at clinical visits); 3 Total number of patients (varying dependent on performed measurements); 4 Only data of the last documented year are used. Diabetic complications and associated autoimmune diseases are defined cumulatively over the individual observation periods per patient. * Not adjusted for sex and diabetes duration. SMBG: frequency of self-monitoring of blood glucose; TPO: thyroid peroxidase; TG: thyroglobulin.
