p-value | Odds Ratio | (95% CI) |
| Age 45 and older | 1.92 | 0.008 | 6.8 | (1.64, 28.37) |
| Diabetes type 1 | -1.23 | 0.04 | 3.4 | (1.03, 11.41) |
| Glycemia (% HbA1c)* | 0.30 | 0.02 | 1.36 | (1.04,1.76) |
| Antibiotics in past 2 weeks (oral only) | 1.49 | 0.03 | 4.5 | (1.18, 16.79) |

* HbA1c (%) > 6.4. HbA1c calculated from a linear regression formula using total glycated hemoglobin values. Cut points based on local laboratory values. NOTE: All models included age, diabetes type, HbA1c, antibiotic use, and oral sex.
