↵* Uncontrolled diabetes was defined as HbA1c ≥ 9% and uncontrolled hypertension was defined as SBP ≥ 140 mm Hg and/or DBP ≥ 90 mm Hg.
↵† The actual effect of each composite cluster is the estimated natural log of odds ratio multiplied with the actual number of positive SDoH factors in that composite cluster.
↵‡ The P values < 0.05 are bolded.
