HR, 95% CIs, and P values per reference group or unit change (as indicated) from separate univariable Cox proportional hazards model predicting the risk of abnormal MNSI-exam result or monofilament exam result during the study. Factors are entered as fixed (sex, race/ethnicity, maternal diabetes, randomized treatment group), baseline (age, diabetes duration), or as time-dependent (all other factors, assessed or measured at or at the most recent visit up to the particular time of the event or right censoring time) covariates in each of the models. DBP, diastolic blood pressure; UACR, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio.

Time-weighted mean.
