Table 2. Estimated effects of intervention compared with control on primary and secondary outcomes, with binary outcomes.

Raw data at EOS, n (%) Effects based on primary model*
Control Intervention OR (95% CI) RR (95% CI) RD (%, 95% CI)
HbA1c <7.0% (primary outcome) 2,171 (37.5) 5,120 (43.6) 1.335 (1.180, 1.510) 1.186 (1.105, 1.267) 7.0 (4.0, 10.0)
FBG <7.0 mmol/L 2,357 (40.9) 5,160 (44.1) 1.115 (0.993, 1.252) 1.065 (0.996, 1.135) 2.7 (−0.2, 5.5)
BP <140/80 mm Hg 2,513 (43.4) 5,282 (45.0) 1.055 (0.952, 1.169) 1.030 (0.972, 1.089) 1.3 (−1.2, 3.9)
LDL-C <2.6 mmol/L 2,615 (45.8) 5,235 (45.0) 0.984 (0.865, 1.120) 0.991 (0.922, 1.062) −0.4 (−3.6, 2.8)
Composite ABC control 509 (8.9) 1,258 (10.9) 1.245 (1.068, 1.451) 1.218 (1.062, 1.395) 1.9 (0.5, 3.5)

Notes: Composite ABC control is defined as HbA1c level <7.0%, BP <140/80 mm Hg, and LDL-C <2.6 mmol/L.

* Primary model: logistic regression with GEE accounting for clustering and with adjustment of the baseline value of the analyzed outcome. RR are indirectly derived from OR using the following formula: RR = OR ÷ [1 − p0 in control × (1 − OR)].

Only baseline SBP and clustering were adjusted in the primary model for BP control.

No baseline variable was adjusted in the primary model for the composite ABC control.

BP, blood pressure; CI, confidence interval; EOS, end of study; FBG, fasting blood glucose; GEE, generalized estimating equation; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; OR, odds ratio; RD, risk difference; RR, relative risk; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
