  Abstract Objectives: This study aims to explore factors that influence progression of Diabetes complications among Medicare non-dual beneficiaries. Three Diabetes complications explored are retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy. A second objective of this study is to explore the impact that various patient management programs have on reducing the risk of development of Diabetes complications. Three patient management programs are explored, including total cost of treatment (for payer), total patient cost share and physician factors (rural vs. urban and primary care vs. specialist). Methods: Predictive and descriptive logistic regression models are used with each Diabetes complication as the outcome variable. For predictive models, the risk factors are obtained using stepwise logistics regression. For explanatory models, the risks factors are included with each of the analytical fact.. Read More»
