Difference in HbAlc (%) in the first year in adult carea | p value | IRR for ED visits in the first year in adult carea | p value | IRR for inpatient days in the first year in adult carea | p value | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Model 1 (Unadjusted) | 0.31 (0.09 to 0.53) | 0.005 | 1.25 (1.04 to 1.51) | 0.018 | 1.41 (1.27 to 1.58) | <0.001 |
Model 2 (Demographic Adjusted)b | 0.28 (0.06 to 0.50) | 0.014 | 1.04 (0.86 to 1.27) | 0.67 | 1.21 (1.03 to 1.28) | 0.001 |
Model 3 (Fully Adjusted)c | 0.19 (0.04 to 0.33) | 0.011 | 1.09 (0.90 to 1.44) | 0.39 | 1.23 (1.11 to 1.38) | <0.001 |
Contrasts (i.e., mean difference in HbA1c, incidence rate ratios) are for every additional 6 months of transfer latency.
Demographic factors: gender, race, insurance type (public vs private) and age at diagnosis.
Fully adjusted model factors: demographic factors and A1c in the year prior to transition, pediatric visit frequency, last pediatric visit before or after 2010. For ED visit and hospitalization outcomes the number of these visits in the year prior to transfer was also included in the fully adjusted model.
