Patient Event Sequencing Study Results IV: PAQS Query 3

**NOTE** This is a single site analysis, but results for all sites are included in the output attached to this record for ease of review & reuse. General observations are recorded below, and details about specific institutions can be discovered in the raw output. - These events occur together quite frequently, as expected, with only 15-20% of the cohort not having one of or both of the events. - We would expect an associated lab result to indicate the need for treatment with an anti-diabetic agent, but there are a surprising number of instances where the antidiabetic agent occurs before the first recorded Hba1c > 5.8%. Part of this may be explained by clinicians using their judgment to prescribe medication even in more borderline cases, or it is possible that a related Hba1c level was recorded elsewhere before the patient was transferred to specialty care. - Regardless of the order of events, the two events occur very close together, most often within a year of each other but they can also occur together often within 3 months.
