  1. The analyses included fixed-effects and random-effects parameter estimates (p-values) for the difference between PCx and PG measurements for according to all, low (≤ 4 mmol/L) and high (> 4 mmol/L) glucose concentration. RN, registered nurse (bedside glucose meter); LAB (laboratory glucose meter); and PG, plasma glucose (Vitros 950).
