GENERALIZED ESTIMATING EQUATIONS FOR ALTERNATING LOGISTIC REGRESSION MODEL FOR ANALYSIS OF THE CKD PATIENTS IN TYPE-2 DIABETES

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) people are hospitalized due to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) at one stage or the other. It has high morbidity and mortality especially in the developing countries. The most common risk factor of CKD is diabetes and hypertension. This paper describes the risk factor of DM in patients of kidney disorder, prevalence and diagnosis and their treatment effects - controlled or uncontrolled DM. This study is made from two centers. The data are analyzed by using odd ratio and alternating logistic regression model is fitted using Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) method with SAS software and results derived. Key words: ALR (Alternating Logistic Regression), DM (Diabetes Mellitus), GEE (Generalized Estimating Equations), Odds ratio.
