Association between admission hemoglobin level and prognosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Figure 2 Estimated hazard ratio for the composite endpoint associated with hemoglobin in different models. Model 1: Demographic factors (age, gender, and body mass index); model 2: Demographic factors and traditional renal function risk factors (baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate, history of hypertension, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, 24-h urinary protein, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and/or angiotensin receptor blockers use, and albumin); model 3: Demographic factors, traditional risk factors, and lipids (total cholesterol and triglycerides); model 4: Demographic factors, traditional risk factors, lipids, and glycaemia control (duration of diabetes, fasting glycaemia, and glycosylated hemoglobin). HR: Hazard ratio; CI: Confidence interval.
