Observations11251277
  • CHC, community health centers.

  • Standard errors in parentheses.

  • Model 1 displays odds ratio.

  • We were unable to assess 125 patients with no documentation of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) during the study period, leading to a Model 1 sub-sample of 1125.

  • *P < .05, P < .01, P < .001.
