  1. *Analysed with logistic regression: estimated odds ratio (OR) (smoker = 1, non-smoker = 0).
  2. CI, confidence interval; BMI, Body Mass Index (kg/m2); Systolic blood pressure (mmHg); HbA1c, Glycosylated haemoglobin (mmol/mol); LDL cholesterol, Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (mmol/L); Urine in albumin (mg/L); GFR, Glomerular Filtration Rate (higher is better) (ml/min).
  3. Structure: structures of care score per practice, see Table 1.
  4. Process: processes of care score per practice, see Table 1.
  5. All models control for age, sex, years since diagnosis, number of related and unrelated comorbidities and social economic status.
