Several factors were identified as potential determinants of antidiabetic drug prescribing. The magnitude and significance of each factor differed by antidiabetic class. Patient's age and baseline BMI had the most significant association with the choice of four out of the seven studied antidiabetic drugs followed by the baseline HbA1c and kidney-related problems which had an impact on three studied antidiabetic drugs, whereas sex had the least impact on prescribing decision as it was associated with GLP1-RA and thiazolidinedione only.
