Serum CA19-9 Level Associated with Metabolic Control and Pancreatic Beta Cell Function in Diabetic Patients

Table 4

Multiple stepwise regression analysis showing variables independently associated with serum CA19-9.

Independent variables enter the model	β	S.E.M	Standardized β	𝑡	𝑃	95% CI for β (lower limit-upper limit)
HbA1c	0.068	0.005	0.433	13.223	<0.001	0.058 to 0.078
Type of diabetes	−0.139	0.043	−0.099	−3.235	0.001	−0.223 to −0.055

The parameters which significantly correlated with serum CA19-9 level showed in Table 3 were selected to enter into the model.
