Undertreated (n=43 532)Appropriately treated (n=147 434)Overtreated (n=15 313)P value
Hypoglycemia
 Patients with event, n (%)410 (0.9)813 (0.6)296 (1.9)<0.001
 Event rate per 1000 enrollees per year10.666.1522.01<0.001
Hyperglycemia
 Patients with event, n (%)311 (0.7)251 (0.2)53 (0.4)<0.001
 Event rate per 1000 enrollees per year8.411.873.66<0.001
  • The proportion of patients with at least one event, and the total number of events per 1000 enrollees per year, were calculated among undertreated, appropriately treated, and overtreated patients as defined by the ADTI.

  • ADTI, appropriate diabetes therapy indicator.
