  • Full results from stepwise logistic regression model of the odds of poor diabetes control, controlling for age, gender, Charlson Comorbidity Index category, number of mental and behavioral health diagnoses and social deprivation index (SDI) score of the patients neighborhood. SDI scores were calculated using national percentile ranks of the SDI Index. Diabetic patients were defined as those with at least one HbA1c measurement in 2015. Poor control was defined as HbA1c > 9 at the last test in 2015.
