Notes.

Quantitative data was expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD), categorical data was presented as frequencies and percentages (n(%)). Differences between categorical data were analyzed by χ2 test; differences between quantitative data were analyzed by analysis of variance(ANOVA).

T1DM
type 1 diabetes mellitus
NS

CKD
chronic kidney disease
DN
