Author(s): Biruk Shalmeno Tusa*
Introduction: Majority of diabetes patients fail to achieve adequate level of fasting blood sugar. Therefore, the pre Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics, Collage of Health and Medical Sciences, Haramaya University, Haramaya, Ethiopia sent study uses a Bayesian framework to identify factors associated with level of fasting blood sugar.
Methods: Institution based cross-sectional study was employed. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation was used to estimate the model parameters. Summary statistic including mean, standard deviation (SD) and 95% credible intervals (CI) of unknown parameters was calculated from stored MCMC samples.
Result: The mean (±SD) fasting blood sugar level was 151.07 (±38.21) mg/dl. Good Diabetic self-care activities (β=-8.78; HPD CI: (-16.63, -0.93)), having chroni.. View More»
