Table 1

Duration analysis. The table shows the relative risk for developing glaucoma in patients treated with antidiabetic drugs in the Danish population (1996–2012). The model controls for complication with DR and age as well as calendar year fixed effects (omitted from the table). RR: relative risk; CI: confidence interval; anti-DM drug: antidiabetic drug.
