چکیده
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSdWe undertook a cohort study using linked administrative healthcare and laboratory databases in Alberta, Canada. From 1 January 2004 to 31March 2009, we included all outpatients 66 years of age and older who had at least one serum creatinine and one A1Cmeasured. To examine the independent association between hospitalized hypoglycemia and all-cause mortality, we used time-varying Cox proportional hazards (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]), and for all-cause hospitalizations, we used Poisson regression (adjusted incidence rate ratio [aIRR]).
