Table 4 Prevalence of fasting glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL and the proportion of ineffective glucose measurement (IGM) from 2003 to 2018 at China Medical University Hospital. The alphabet A to E represents the number of each condition and the proportion of each condition from B to E is derived from the ratio indicated in the brackets.
