Figure Lengend Snippet: HbA1c over time. (A) Two-year completer population, observed mean values, no imputation. (B) Intention-to-treat (ITT) population, observed mean values, no imputation. (C) ITT population, estimated least square (LS) mean values derived from an analysis of covariance ( ancova ) model with repeated measures. (D) Two-year completer population, participants previously treated with diet and exercise, observed mean values, no imputation. Error bars are ±2s.e. Panel C: * p < 0.0001 vs. glimepiride; ** p < 0.05 vs. glimepiride.
Article Snippet: In addition, post-baseline estimates and treatment comparisons were obtained using repeated-measures ancova [Proc Mixed procedure with repeated statement from sas version 9.1.3 ( sas Institute, Cary, NC, USA)].
