𝑁 is the number of patients. Age is shown as the mean, standard deviation and range. Sex is expressed as the percentage male. BMI is expressed as percent within obese range. Race is given by number of patients who were white (W), black (B), or Hispanic (H) or whose race was not given (U). Comorbidities are expressed as a percentage of the DM or non-DM population. Two-tail 𝑃 value was determined with Pearson correlation coefficients and indicates that the variable significantly correlates with DM. NS: not significant.
