For normally distributed parameters, the mean is shown ±SD, and p values were calculated using a Student’s t-test and for not normally distributed parameters, the median with IQR (P25–P75) is shown, and the p value was calculated using Mann-Whitney U test.
Anti-GAD, antiglutamic acid decarboxylase; anti-IA2, anti-islet antigen 2; AUC, area under the curve; BMI, body mass index; CRP, C-reactive protein; DKA, diabetic ketoacidosis; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; HDL, high-density protein cholesterol; LDL, low-density protein cholesterol.
