Stratification by dose of corticosteroids demonstrated a 94% increased likelihood of hospitalization for a diabetes complication for those who received a total defined daily dose (DDD) of corticosteroids ≥0.83/day (subhazard ratio 1.94 [95% CI 1.14 3.28], P = 0.014), by comparison with those who did not receive a corticosteroid.
Stratification of corticosteroid dose demonstrated that a total dose of ≥0.83 DDD/day, over the 12 months from study entry, resulted in a 94% increased risk of diabetes complication (SHR 1.94 [95% CI 1.14 3.28], P = 0.014) by comparison with those who did not receive a corticosteroid (Table 2).
