  1. The results of the joint models are expressed as hazard ratios with their corresponding confidence intervals. In any case where non-linear trends in glucose levels are a covariate in the survival process, interpretation of the coefficients of association (α) becomes compromised. Accordingly, only the levels of significance (P values) of the coefficients of association are shown
  2. HR (95% CI) means hazard ratio (95% confidence interval)
