The table shows the odds ratio weighting validation for data set 1. Abbreviations: "IV" = inverse variance weighting, "MH" = Mantel-Haenszel weighting, "PETO" = Peto weighting, and "IV+t" = inverse variance plus tau, which refers to random effects weighting according to the DerSimonian-Laird method.
Insulin detemir was associated with significantly greater odds of weight loss ≥1 kg (OR 1.75 [95% CI 1.18, 2.59; p = 0.005]) relative to insulin glargine.
Figure 4 shows the results of pooled odds ratios (weight average) of the determinants of attitudes towards IPVAW (see additional file 2 for forest plots for each variable).
A lower risk of minor hypoglycaemia and greater odds of weight loss ≥1 kg was observed with IDet compared with IGlar.
Compared with T2DM patients initiated on insulin glargine in Turkey, insulin detemir was associated with a similar level of glycaemic control, but a lower risk of hypoglycaemia and greater odds of weight loss, after correction for a number of known confounders.
The main term that contains prevalence information is the pre-test odds, which can be calculated as: For this reason, pre-test odds are used to "weight" the positive and negative LR.
Thus, children who were of normal weight but perceived themselves to be overweight/obese were three times more likely to attempt weight loss compared with those who accurately perceived themselves as being of normal weight, while the odds of attempting weight loss were the highest for those who were overweight and perceived themselves to be so (AOR∼18).
Abbreviations: "IV" = inverse variance weighting, "OR" = odds ratio, "CI" = confidence interval, "IV+t" = inverse variance plus tau, which refers to random effects weighting according to the DerSimonian-Laird method.
Results of EPO dose per kg of body weight were somewhat different with respect to odds ratios for weight and sex; this is not surprising, since in this model, weight would be expected to be a strong predictor of EPO dose divided by weight.
Poor self-rated health combined with normal weight at first examination was associated with higher odds of later weight gain (OR: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.10 1.51).
