For laboratory results obtained using a diabetic device, the SPDEVID variable was included in the LB dataset to indicate which device was used to obtain the measurements. The LBSPEC variable is populated with the specimen type associated with the reported result. The LBNAM variable is typically used to represent the name of the vendor or laboratory providing the result. When the subject's diabetic device was the source of the data, the LBNAM variable was left blank.
The disease milestone variables MIDS, RELMIDS, and MIDSDTC are included in the dataset and are populated on all records associated with the disease milestones. The value of the MIDS variable identifies the subject DKA milestone with which the record is associated. The start date of the DKA milestone is recorded in the MIDSDTC variable and the RELMIDS variable indicates when the result was obtained with respect to the DKA milestone. On all the records shown below, RELMIDS indicates that the result was obtained at the time of the DKA milestone.
Laboratory results that were collected for each DKA event were assigned contingent visit numbers.
Note that all expected variables are not shown to save space.
