Decoding diabetes: understanding diagnosis through medication prescriptions
This study's analysis of a large dataset using logistic regression reveals important factors influencing diabetes diagnosis that are influenced by clinical history, healthcare consumption, and demography. The results show that older persons had a higher risk of developing diabetes, with notable variations observed in age groups, ethnicities, and genders. Notably, normal glucose levels lower the chance of diabetes, whereas older age, non-Caucasian ethnicity, and greater emergency healthcare utilization correspond with a higher risk.
