  1. The analyses included fixed-effects and random-effects parameter estimates (β); approximate standard errors (Std. E) and p-values (P) for the difference between PCx and PG measurements taking into account all variables collected. RN, registered nurse (bedside glucose meter); LAB (laboratory glucose meter); and PG, plasma glucose (Vitros 950).
