HRs for the association between HbA1c response and the risk of a drug-specific side effect (models 1–3).
Notes: HRs (95% CI) represent the increase in the risk of side effect for a 1% greater absolute HbA1c response. A HR of greater than 1 indicates an increased risk of side effect with greater HbA1c response.
Abbreviations: JMcum, joint model cumulative HbA1c; JMcv, joint model current value; LOCF, last observation carried forward; MFN, metformin; SU, sulfonylurea; TZD, thiazolidinedione.
