Diabetes as a risk factor for VTE in patients with SCI. A. Primary analysis; the risk of VTE in patients with SCI was significantly associated with diabetes. There was evidence of significant heterogeneity between studies (I² = 71%, P = 0.004). B. Sensitivity analysis omitted one study that did not specify that patients had acute SCI. The risk of VTE in patients with SCI was significantly associated with diabetes. There was no evidence of heterogeneity between studies (I² = 23%, P = 0.27).
