RESUMEN
Background: In areas with limited resources, the lack of preparedness and limited availability of diabetes mellitus services in healthcare facilities contribute to high rates of illness and death related to diabetes mellitus. As a result, this study focused on analyzing the combined prevalence of preparedness and availability of diabetic services in countries with limited resources. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across various databases, such as PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and African Journal Online. The search aimed to identify primary research articles that assessed the availability and preparedness of services for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus specifically. The articles included in the search spanned from January 2000 to 23 February 2024. To analyze the data, a meta-analysis of proportions was performed using the random-effects model. Additionally, the researchers assessed publication bias by examining a funnel plot and conducting Egger's test. Heterogeneity and sensitivity analyses were also conducted to evaluate the data. The findings of the study regarding the pooled prevalence of diabetes service preparedness and availability, along with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals, were presented using a forest plot. Results: A comprehensive analysis was conducted on 16 research articles that focused on service preparedness and 11 articles that examined service availability. The sample sizes for these studies were 3,422 for service preparedness and 1,062 for service availability. The findings showed that the pooled prevalence of diabetes service preparedness was 53.0% (95% CI: 47.0-60.0). Furthermore, in this systematic synthesis, the overall pooled prevalence of service availability for diabetes mellitus was 48% (95% CI: 36.0-67.0), with the highest pooled prevalence observed in Asia, with a pooled prevalence of 58% (95% CI: 38.0-89.0). Conclusion: Our study reveals a significant disparity in the preparedness and availability of services for diabetes mellitus, which falls below the minimum threshold set by the WHO. These findings should capture the attention of policymakers and potentially serve as a foundation for reevaluating the current approach to diabetes service preparedness and availability. To enhance the availability and preparedness of diabetes services, a tailored, multifaceted, and action-oriented approach to strengthening the health system is required.

BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis(TB) and Diabetes comorbidity is an emerging public health problem in India. Delays in diagnosing TB or Diabetes would lead to adverse outcomes among comorbid patients, and attempts must be made to reduce these delays. Against this background, the study has been undertaken to clarify the role of sociocultural factors in determining diagnostic delays for TB and Diabetes among comorbid patients. METHODS: A cross-sectional cultural epidemiological survey of the randomly selected 180 TB-Diabetes comorbid patients was carried out. The study examined sociocultural factors of delayed diagnosis of TB and Diabetes among urban and rural TB-Diabetes comorbid patients registered under TB-Diabetes collaborative activities under the National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP) in the Satara district of Maharashtra by using a semi-structured interview schedule. The patterns of distress (PDs) and perceived causes(PCs) of TB and Diabetes were compared with patients' and providers' diagnostic delays of TB and Diabetes based on prominence categories. In addition, the relationship between PDs and PCs as explanatory variables and TB and Diabetes diagnostic delays as outcome variables were assessed using stepwise multiple logistic regression. RESULTS: Of the 180 TB-Diabetes comorbid patients, the proportion of men was higher, and they were 4.7 times more likely to get a delayed Diabetes diagnosis. Those who reported side effects of drugs and stigma reduced social status as the PDs were 2-3 times more likely to delay reaching TB facilities/providers (patients' diagnostic delay). Those who perceived inadequate diet and mental-emotional stress as the causes of TB were about three times more likely to reach the TB providers/facilities after two weeks. Also, those who perceived TB as a cause of punishment for prior deeds were two times more likely to reach TB facilities/providers after two weeks. Patients who reported fever and chest pain as the symptoms of TB were two times more likely to delay the diagnosis of TB. Patients who reported tobacco consumption, unhealthy lifestyles, thoughts, worries, tension, and germs or infection as perceived causes of TB were about two times more likely to be diagnosed after two weeks. Patients who reported excessive thirst as a diabetes symptom were about two times more likely to get delayed >2 weeks to reach diabetes facilities/providers. Patients who perceived environmental/occupational exposure as the cause of Diabetes were two times more likely to reach the diabetes facilities/providers after two weeks. Patients who reported excessive thirst and stroke as the physical problems of Diabetes were 3.2 and 9.6 times more likely to get delayed in the diagnosis of Diabetes (providers' diagnostic delay). Patients who perceived violation of taboo or misbehaviour as the perceived cause of Diabetes were 6.7 times more likely to get a delayed diagnosis of Diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: The sociocultural factors associated with TB and Diabetes diagnostic delays among comorbid patients are essential considerations in the evolving context of implementing TB-Diabetes collaborative activities. Therefore, acknowledging sociocultural factors concerning delayed diagnosis and minimising delays would strengthen joint TB-Diabetes collaborative activities under the National framework locally and nationally.

Background CT performed for various clinical indications has the potential to predict cardiometabolic diseases. However, the predictive ability of individual CT parameters remains underexplored. Purpose To evaluate the ability of automated CT-derived markers to predict diabetes and associated cardiometabolic comorbidities. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included Korean adults (age ≥ 25 years) who underwent health screening with fluorine 18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT between January 2012 and December 2015. Fully automated CT markers included visceral and subcutaneous fat, muscle, bone density, liver fat, all normalized to height (in meters squared), and aortic calcification. Predictive performance was assessed with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and Harrell C-index in the cross-sectional and survival analyses, respectively. Results The cross-sectional and cohort analyses included 32166 (mean age, 45 years ± 6 [SD], 28833 men) and 27 298 adults (mean age, 44 years ± 5 [SD], 24 820 men), respectively. Diabetes prevalence and incidence was 6% at baseline and 9% during the 7.3-year median follow-up, respectively. Visceral fat index showed the highest predictive performance for prevalent and incident diabetes, yielding AUC of 0.70 (95% CI: 0.68, 0.71) for men and 0.82 (95% CI: 0.78, 0.85) for women and C-index of 0.68 (95% CI: 0.67, 0.69) for men and 0.82 (95% CI: 0.77, 0.86) for women, respectively. Combining visceral fat, muscle area, liver fat fraction, and aortic calcification improved predictive performance, yielding C-indexes of 0.69 (95% CI: 0.68, 0.71) for men and 0.83 (95% CI: 0.78, 0.87) for women. The AUC for visceral fat index in identifying metabolic syndrome was 0.81 (95% CI: 0.80, 0.81) for men and 0.90 (95% CI: 0.88, 0.91) for women. CT-derived markers also identified US-diagnosed fatty liver, coronary artery calcium scores greater than 100, sarcopenia, and osteoporosis, with AUCs ranging from 0.80 to 0.95. Conclusion Automated multiorgan CT analysis identified individuals at high risk of diabetes and other cardiometabolic comorbidities. © RSNA, 2024 Supplemental material is available for this article.

Introduction: To find the adherence rate to periodic dilated eye examinations (DEEs) and its determinants among patients with diagnosed diabetes. Research Design and Methods: In this cross-sectional study of 165 participants with diagnosed diabetes (Type 1/2) attending a general hospital with a diabetes clinic, we explored perceptions of barriers and facilitators of DEE at the individual level using a framework adapted from the health belief model (HBM). Patients were compared using t tests for continuous data and chi-square tests for categorical data. Results: The rate of adherence to DEE (as defined by DEE within a year) was 62.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 55.0%-69.8%). The mean age of the patients was 56.81 (±13.29) years. We found that the mean benefit score was significantly higher, and the mean barrier score was significantly lower in those adhering to DEE (p < 0.001); but the susceptibility, severity, and self-efficacy scores were not significantly different. Furthermore, those under treatment for diabetes mellitus (DM), those with diabetic retinopathy (DR) in them or their family member, and those with DM duration of 1 year or less were significantly likely to adhere to DEE (p < 0.005). Additionally, those who had received advice for eye screening from their physicians were about 25 times more likely to adhere to DEE (95% CI =6.80-92.05) than those who were not advised. Conclusion: A larger proportion of people with diabetes did not adhere to periodic DEE. Benefits and barriers were found to be determinants in this population. Further exploration in a larger population and the use of HBM to increase adherence to periodic DEE can be tested by targeting behavioral counseling along with other traditional approaches.

AIMS: To evaluate the external validity of Finnish diabetes risk score (FINDRISC) and Latin American FINDRISC (LAFINDRISC) for undiagnosed dysglycemia in hospital health care workers. METHODS: We carried out a cross-sectional study on health workers without a prior history of diabetes mellitus (DM). Undiagnosed dysglycemia (prediabetes or diabetes mellitus) was defined using fasting glucose and two-hour oral glucose tolerance test. LAFINDRISC is an adapted version of FINDRISC with different waist circumference cut-off points. We calculated the area under the receptor operational characteristic curve (AUROC) and explored the best cut-off point. RESULTS: We included 549 participants in the analysis. The frequency of undiagnosed dysglycemia was 17.8%. The AUROC of LAFINDRISC and FINDRISC were 71.5% and 69.2%; p = 0.007, respectively. The optimal cut-off for undiagnosed dysglycemiaaccording to Index Youden was ≥ 11 in LAFINDRISC (Sensitivity: 78.6%; Specificity: 51.7%) and ≥12 in FINDRISC (Sensitivity: 70.4%; Specificity: 53.9%). CONCLUSION: The discriminative capacity of both questionnaires is good for the diagnosis of dysglycemia in the healthcare personnel of the María Auxiliadora hospital. The LAFINDRISC presented a small statistical difference, nontheless clinically similar, since there was no difference by age or sex. Further studies in the general population are required to validate these results.

Background: Erythrocyte dysfunction is a characteristic of diabetes mellitus (DM). However, erythrocyte-associated biomarkers do not adequately explain the high prevalence of DM. Here, we describe red blood cell distribution width to albumin ratio (RAR) as a novel inflammatory biomarker for evaluating an association with DM prevalence and prognosis of all-cause mortality. Methods: Data analyzed in this study were extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2020. A total of 40,558 participants (non-DM and DM) were enrolled in the study; RAR quartiles were calibrated at Q1 [2.02,2.82] mL/g, Q2 (2.82,3.05] mL/g, Q3 (3.05,3.38] mL/g, and Q4 (3.38,12.08] mL/g. A total of 8,482 DM patients were followed (for a median of 84 months), of whom 2,411 died and 6,071 survived. The prevalence and prognosis associated with RAR and DM were analyzed; age and sex were stratified to analyze the prevalence of RAR in DM and the sensitivity of long-term prognosis. Results: Among non-DM (n=30,404) and DM (n=10,154) volunteers, DM prevalence in RAR quartiles was 8.23%, 15.20%, 23.92%, and 36.39%. The multivariable odds ratio (OR) was significant for RAR regarding DM, at 1.68 (95% CI 1.42, 1.98). Considering Q1 as a foundation, the Q4 OR was 2.57 (95% CI 2.11, 3.13). The percentages of DM morbidity varied across RAR quartiles for dead (n=2,411) and surviving (n=6,071) DM patients. Specifically, RAR quartile mortality ratios were 20.31%, 24.24%, 22.65%, and 29.99% (P<0.0001). The multivariable hazard ratio (HR) for RAR was 1.80 (95% CI 1.57, 2.05). Considering Q1 as a foundation, the Q4 HR was 2.59 (95% CI 2.18, 3.09) after adjusting for confounding factors. Sensitivity analysis revealed the HR of male DM patients to be 2.27 (95% CI 1.95, 2.64), higher than females 1.56 (95% CI 1.31, 1.85). DM patients who were 60 years of age or younger had a higher HR of 2.08 (95% CI1.61, 2.70) as compared to those older than 60 years, who had an HR of 1.69 (95% CI 1.47, 1.94). The HR of RAR in DM patients was optimized by a restricted cubic spline (RCS) model; 3.22 was determined to be the inflection point of an inverse L-curve. DM patients with a RAR >3.22 mL/g suffered shorter survival and higher mortality as compared to those with RAR ≤3.22 mL/g. OR and HR RAR values were much higher than those of regular red blood cell distribution width. Conclusions: The predictive value of RAR is more accurate than that of RDW for projecting DM prevalence, while RAR, a DM risk factor, has long-term prognostic power for the condition. Survival time was found to be reduced as RAR increased for those aged ≤60 years among female DM patients.

Ethiopia faces a significant challenge with increasing non-communicable diseases like diabetes, ranking among the top four in sub-Saharan Africa. However, there is a lack of research on how lifestyle affects chronic complications of diabetes in Ethiopia, highlighting the need for urgent exploration to develop better intervention strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the link between lifestyle factors and chronic complications of diabetes in public health hospitals in Southwest Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study involving 389 diabetes patients from Mizan-Tepi University Teaching Hospital (MTUTH) and Gebretsadik Shawo General Hospital (GSGH) in Southwest Ethiopia was conducted. Data collection methods included interviewer-administered questionnaires, patient medical record reviews, physical examination, and serum analysis. SPSS version 25 was used for data analysis, including descriptive statistics and bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Statistical significance was determined at a p-value < 0.05. The study revealed a 32.1% prevalence of chronic complications of diabetes, with 13.4% having chronic kidney disease, 8.0% experiencing visual disturbances, and 16.7% suffering from peripheral sensory pain. After adjusting for confounding variables, age (41-60 years [AOR = 1.77; 95% CI 1.01, 3.15] and > 60 years [AOR = 2.18; 95% CI 1.20, 4.33]), duration of diabetes mellitus (> 6 years [AOR = 2.90; 95% CI 1.74, 4.85]), alcohol consumption [AOR = 2.30; 95% CI 1.33, 3.98], physical inactivity [AOR = 2.43; 95% CI 1.38, 4.27], and body mass index (underweight [AOR = 7.66; 95% CI 1.68, 34.8] and obese [AOR = 3.53; 95% CI 1.84, 10.5]) were significantly associated with chronic complications of diabetes. Chronic complications of diabetes are a major problem in the study area. Lifestyle factors strongly influence chronic diabetes complications, highlighting the importance of preventive measures. Implementing health education and prevention programs focusing on modifiable lifestyle factors is crucial.

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) represents a critical and potentially lethal condition that typically develops in individuals with liver cirrhosis. This meta-analysis aimed to assess diabetes mellitus (DM) as a risk factor for SBP in liver cirrhotic patients. METHODS: Following PRISMA guidelines, fifteen studies were included, for a total of 76 815 patients. The risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS). We represented the results as risk ratios (RR) with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) using RevMan software. Additionally, we pooled the hazard ratios (HR) for developing SBP in patients with DM from the included studies. RESULTS: The meta-analysis shows a significantly increased risk of SBP in cirrhotic patients with DM (HR: 1.26; 95% CI [1.05-1.51], P=.01; HR: 1.70; 95% CI [1.32-2.18], P<.001). CONCLUSIONS: The study signifies that DM is an independent risk factor for SBP, emphasizing the need for targeted preventive measures in this specific population.

The social determinants of health (SDoH) influence health outcomes based on conditions from birth, growth, living, and age factors. Diabetes is a chronic condition, impacted by race, education, and income, which may lead to serious health consequences. In Hawai'i, approximately 11.2% of adults have been diagnosed with diabetes. The objective of this secondary cross-sectional study is to assess the relationship between the prevalence of diabetes and the social determinants of health among Hawai'i adults who participated in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System between 2018-2020. The prevalence of diabetes among adults was 11.0% (CI: 10.4-11.5%). Filipino, Japanese and Native Hawaiian adults had the highest prevalence of diabetes at 14.4% (CI: 12.7-16.2%), 14.2% (CI: 12.7-15.7%), and 13.2% (CI: 12.0-14.4%), respectively. Poverty level and education were significantly associated with diabetes status. Within employment categories, the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) for retired and unable to work adults were large at AOR: 1.51 (CI: 1.26-1.81) and AOR: 2.91 (CI: 2.28-3.72), respectively. SDoH can impact the development and management of diabetes. Understanding the role SDoH plays on diabetes status is crucial for promoting health equity, building community capacity, and improving diabetes management.

Over the past decades, China has been undergoing rapid economic growth, which may have significantly influenced the dietary patterns and health status of the Chinese population. Our study aimed to assess the associations of potential macronutrient trajectory patterns with chronic diseases and all-cause mortality using the latent class trajectory model (LCTM) and the longitudinal data of the China Health and Nutrition Survey obtained between 1991 and 2015. A 24-hour diet recall was used to assess the dietary intake. The Poisson regression model was employed to investigate the correlations between trajectory patterns and chronic diseases and all-cause mortality. A total of 8115 participants were included in the final analysis. We explored four and three trajectory patterns for male and female populations, respectively. We found that a decreasing very high-carbohydrate trajectory together with a U-shape protein trajectory was associated with a higher risk of diabetes in the male population (odds ratio (OR): 2.23; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.31-3.77). A similar pattern for moderate protein intake was also associated with the risk of diabetes in the female population (OR: 1.82; 95% CI: 1.18-2.79). In addition, we show that a decreasing low-carbohydrate trajectory and an increasing high-fat trajectory were associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality (OR: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.60-0.96) and a higher risk of obesity (OR: 1.24; 95% CI: 1.05-1.47) in males. Our results shed light on some salient nutritional problems in China, particularly the dual challenges of undernutrition and overnutrition.

Introduction: Fluid overload is a known complication in patients with diabetes mellitus, particularly those with cardiovascular and/or chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study investigates the impact of fluid overload on healthcare utilisation and its association with diabetes-related complications. Method: Electronic medical records from the SingHealth Diabetes Registry (2013-2022) were analysed. Hospitalisations due to fluid overload were identified using International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) discharge codes. Trends were examined using Joinpoint regression, and associations were assessed with generalised estimating equation models. Results: Over a period of 10 years, 259,607 individuals treated at primary care clinics and tertiary hospitals were studied. The incidence of fluid overload-related hospitalisations decreased from 2.99% (n=2778) in 2013 to 2.18% (n=2617) in 2017. However, this incidence increased from 2.42% (n=3091) in 2018 to 3.71% (n=5103) in 2022. The strongest associations for fluid overload-related hospitalisation were found with CKD stages G5 (odds ratio [OR] 6.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] 6.26-6.99), G4 (OR 5.55, 95% CI 5.26-5.86) and G3b (OR 3.18, 95% CI 3.02-3.35), as well as with ischaemic heart disease (OR 3.97, 95% CI 3.84-4.11), acute myocardial infarction (OR 3.07, 95% CI 2.97-3.18) and hypertension (OR 3.90, 95% CI 3.45-4.41). Additionally, the prevalence of stage G5 CKD among patients with fluid overload increased between 2018 and 2022. Conclusion: Our study revealed a significant increase in fluid overload-related hospitalisations and extended lengths of stay, likely driven by severe CKD. This underscores an urgent need for initiatives aimed at slowing CKD progression and reducing fluid overload-related hospitalisations in diabetes patients.

PURPOSE: Aim of this study is to investigate the association between DM and oncological outcomes among patients with muscle-invasive (MI) or high-risk non-muscle invasive (NMI) bladder cancer (BC) who underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion (RARC). METHODS: An IRB approved multi-institutional BC database was queried, including patients underwent RARC between January 2013 and June 2023. Patients were divided into two groups according to DM status. Baseline, clinical, perioperative, pathologic data were compared. Chi-square and Student t tests were performed to compare categorical and continuous variables, respectively. Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analyses were performed to assess the association between DM and oncologic outcomes. RESULTS: Out of 547 consecutive patients, 97 (17.7%) had DM. The two cohorts showed similar preoperative features, except for ASA score (p = 0.01) and Hypertension rates (p < 0.001). No differences were detected for perioperative complications, pT stage, pN stages and surgical margins status (all p > 0.12). DM patients displayed significantly lower 5-yr disease-free survival (DFS) (44.6% vs. 63.3%, p = 0.007), 5-yr cancer-specific survival (CSS) (45.1% vs. 70.1%, p = 0.001) and 5-yr Overall survival (OS) (39.9% vs. 63.8%, p = 0.001). At Multivariable Cox-regression analyses DM status was identified as independent predictor of worse cancer-specific survival (CSS) (HR 2.1; p = 0.001) and overall survival (OS) (HR 2.05; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Among BC patients who underwent RARC, DM patients showed worse oncologic outcomes than the non-DM patients, with DM status playing an independent negative predicting role in CSS and OS. Future prospective studies are awaited, stimulating basic and translational research to identify possible mechanisms of interaction between DM and BC.

BACKGROUND: Novel diabetes phenotypes were proposed by the Europeans through cluster analysis, but Chinese community diabetes populations might exhibit different characteristics. This study aims to explore the clinical characteristics of novel diabetes subgroups under data-driven analysis in Chinese community diabetes populations. METHODS: We used K-means cluster analysis in 6369 newly diagnosed diabetic patients from eight centers of the REACTION (Risk Evaluation of cAncers in Chinese diabeTic Individuals) study. The cluster analysis was performed based on age, body mass index, glycosylated hemoglobin, homeostatic modeled insulin resistance index, and homeostatic modeled pancreatic ß-cell functionality index. The clinical features were evaluated with the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and chi-square test. Logistic regression analysis was done to compare chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease risks between subgroups. RESULTS: Overall, 2063 (32.39%), 658 (10.33%), 1769 (27.78%), and 1879 (29.50%) populations were assigned to severe obesity-related and insulin-resistant diabetes (SOIRD), severe insulin-deficient diabetes (SIDD), mild age-associated diabetes mellitus (MARD), and mild insulin-deficient diabetes (MIDD) subgroups, respectively. Individuals in the MIDD subgroup had a low risk burden equivalent to prediabetes, but with reduced insulin secretion. Individuals in the SOIRD subgroup were obese, had insulin resistance, and a high prevalence of fatty liver, tumors, family history of diabetes, and tumors. Individuals in the SIDD subgroup had severe insulin deficiency, the poorest glycemic control, and the highest prevalence of dyslipidemia and diabetic nephropathy. Individuals in MARD subgroup were the oldest, had moderate metabolic dysregulation and the highest risk of cardiovascular disease. CONCLUSION: The data-driven approach to differentiating the status of new-onset diabetes in the Chinese community was feasible. Patients in different clusters presented different characteristics and risks of complications.

BACKGROUND: Not many large-sample investigations are available that compare the potency of the relationship of remnant cholesterol (RC) and other lipid parameters with diabetes and prediabetes. The goals of our study are to discover the relationship between RC and prediabetes, diabetes, and insulin resistance (IR) and to investigate RC, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), non-HDL-C, triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, and TG/HDL-C, which are the lipid parameters that are most positively related to diabetes, prediabetes, and IR. METHODS: This research enrolled 36 684 subjects from China's eight provinces. We employed multiple logistic regression analysis for testing the relationship between lipid parameters and diabetes, prediabetes, and IR. RESULTS: After adjusting for potential confounders, and comparing the results with other lipid parameters, the positive relationship between RC and diabetes (odds ratio [OR] 1.417, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.345-1.492), prediabetes (OR 1.555, 95% CI: 1.438-1.628), and IR (OR 1.488, 95% CI: 1.404-1.577) was highest. RC was still related to diabetes, prediabetes, and IR even when TG <2.3 mmol/L (diabetes: OR 1.256, 95% CI: 1.135-1.390; prediabetes: OR 1.503, 95% CI: 1.342-1.684; and IR: OR 1.278, 95% CI: 1.140-1.433), LDL-C <2.6 mmol/L (diabetes: OR 1.306, 95% CI: 1.203-1.418; prediabetes: OR 1.597, 95% CI: 1.418-1.798; and IR: OR 1.552, 95% CI: 1.416-1.701), or HDL-C ≥1 mmol/L (diabetes: OR 1.456, 95% CI: 1.366-1.550; prediabetes: OR 1.553, 95% CI: 1.421-1.697; and IR: OR 1.490, 95% CI: 1.389-1.598). CONCLUSION: RC is more positively related to diabetes, prediabetes, and IR than conventional lipids and lipid ratios in the general population, the relationships between RC and diabetes, prediabetes, and IR are stable, even if HDL-C, LDL-C, or TG are at appropriate levels.

Diagnosing the current health status and disease burden in a population is crucial for public health interventions. The ability to compare the burden of different diseases through a single measure, such as disability-adjusted life years has become feasible and continues to be produced and updated through the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) study. However, the disease burden values of the GBD study do not accurately reflect the unique situation in a specific country with various circumstances. In response, the Korean National Burden of Disease (KNBD) study was conducted to estimate the disease burden in Koreans by considering Korea's cultural context and utilizing the available data sources at the national level. Both studies identified non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), as the primary cause of disease burden among Koreans. However, the extent of public health interventions currently being conducted by the central and local governments does not align with the severity of the disease burden. This review suggests that despite the high burden of DM in South Korea, the current policies may not fully address its impact, underscoring the need for expanded chronic disease management programs and a shift towards prevention-focused healthcare paradigms.

OBJECTIVE: To perform a detailed characterisation of diabetes burden and pre-diabetes risk in a rural county with previously documented poor health outcomes in order to understand the local within-county distribution of diabetes in rural areas of America. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: In 2021, we prospectively mailed health surveys to all households in Sullivan County, a rural county with the second-worst health outcomes of all counties in New York State. Our survey included questions on demographics, medical history and the American Diabetes Association's Pre-diabetes Risk Test. PRIMARY OUTCOME AND METHODS: Our primary outcome was an assessment of diabetes burden within this rural county. To help mitigate non-response bias in our survey, raking adjustments were performed across strata of age, sex, race/ethnicity and health insurance. We analysed diabetes prevalence by demographic characteristics and used geospatial analysis to assess for clustering of diagnosed diabetes cases. RESULTS: After applying raking procedures for the 4725 survey responses, our adjusted diagnosed diabetes prevalence for Sullivan County was 12.9% compared with the 2019 Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) estimate of 8.6%. In this rural area, diagnosed diabetes prevalence was notably higher among non-Hispanic Black (21%) and Hispanic (15%) residents compared with non-Hispanic White (12%) residents. 53% of respondents without a known history of pre-diabetes or diabetes scored as high risk for pre-diabetes. Nearest neighbour analyses revealed that hotspots of diagnosed diabetes were primarily located in the more densely populated areas of this rural county. CONCLUSIONS: Our mailed health survey to all residents in Sullivan County demonstrated higher diabetes prevalence compared with modelled BRFSS estimates that were based on small telephone samples. Our results suggest the need for better diabetes surveillance in rural communities, which may benefit from interventions specifically tailored for improving glycaemic control among rural residents.

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to determine the burden of influenza disease in patients with or without diabetes in a population of American adults to understand the benefits of seasonal vaccination. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study using electronic medical records totaling 1,117,263 from two Louisiana healthcare providers spanning January 2012 through December 2017. Adults 18 years or older with two or more records within the study period were included. The primary outcome quantified was influenza-related diagnosis during inpatient (IP) or emergency room (ER) visits and risk reduction with the timing of immunization. RESULTS: Influenza-related IP or ER visits totaled 0.0122-0.0169 events per person within the 2013-2016 influenza seasons. Subjects with diabetes had a 5.6-fold more frequent influenza diagnosis for IP or ER visits than in subjects without diabetes or 3.7-fold more frequent when adjusted for demographics. Early immunization reduced the risk of influenza healthcare utilization by 66% for subjects with diabetes or 67% for subjects without diabetes when compared with later vaccination for the 2013-2016 influenza seasons. Older age and female sex were associated with a higher incidence of influenza, but not a significant change in risk reduction from vaccination. CONCLUSIONS: The risk for influenza-related healthcare utilization was 3.7-fold higher if patients had diabetes during 2013-2016 influenza seasons. Early immunization provides a significant benefit to adults irrespective of a diabetes diagnosis. All adults, but particularly patients with diabetes, should be encouraged to get the influenza vaccine at the start of the influenza season.

Visceral adiposity index (VAI) is a reliable indicator of visceral adiposity. However, no stu-dies have evaluated the association between VAI and DKD in US adults with diabetes. Theref-ore, this study aimed to explore the relationship between them and whether VAI is a good pr-edictor of DKD in US adults with diabetes. Our cross-sectional study included 2508 participan-ts with diabetes who were eligible for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2007 to 2018. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to an-alyze the association between VAI level and DKD. Three models were used to control for pot-ential confounding factors, and subgroup analysis was performed for further verification. A tot-al of 2508 diabetic patients were enrolled, of whom 945 (37.68%) were diagnosed with DKD. Overall, the VAI was 3.36 ± 0.18 in the DKD group and 2.76 ± 0.11 in the control group. VAI was positively correlated with DKD (OR = 1.050, 95% CI 1.049, 1.050) after fully adjusting for co-nfounding factors. Compared with participants in the lowest tertile of VAI, participants in the highest tertile of VAI had a significantly increased risk of DKD by 35.9% (OR = 1.359, 95% CI 1.355, 1.362). Through subgroup analysis, we found that VAI was positively correlated with the occurrence of DKD in all age subgroups, male(OR = 1.043, 95% CI 1.010, 1.080), participants wit-hout cardiovascular disease(OR = 1.038, 95% CI 1.011, 1.069), hypertension (OR = 1.054, 95% CI 1.021, 1.090), unmarried participants (OR = 1.153, 95% CI 1.036, 1.294), PIR < 1.30(OR = 1.049, 95% CI 1.010, 1.094), PIR ⧠3 (OR = 1.085, 95% CI 1.021, 1.160), BMI ⧠30 kg/m2 (OR = 1.050, 95% CI 1.016, 1.091), former smokers (OR = 1.060, 95% CI 1.011, 1.117), never exercised (OR = 1.033, 95% CI 1.004, 1.067), non-Hispanic white population (OR = 1.055, 95% CI 1.010, 1.106) and non-Hipanic black population (OR = 1.129, 95% CI 1.033, 1.258). Our results suggest that elevated VAI levels are closely associated with the development of DKD in diabetic patients. VAI may be a simpl-e and cost-effective index to predict the occurrence of DKD. This needs to be verified in furt-her prospective investigations.

AIMS: To assess the correlation between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) and the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among individuals with diabetes. METHODS: A total of 1,555 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were enrolled in this cross-sectional study after excluding individuals without diabetes and those who lacked data on Hs-CRP, diabetes and CVD. All participants were divided into four groups based on quartiles of Hs-CRP: Q1 (≤ 1.20 mg/L), Q2 (1.20-2.86 mg/L), Q3 (2.86-6.40 mg/L), and Q4 (> 6.40 mg/L). Logistic regression analysis, subgroup analysis and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis were used to evaluate the correlation between Hs-CRP and the prevalence of CVD in individuals with diabetes. RESULTS: In univariate logistic regression analysis, a higher level of Hs-CRP was associated with a higher prevalence of CVD (P < 0.05). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusting for confounders, the correlation between Hs-CRP and the prevalence of CVD remained significant (Q3 vs. Q1, OR: 1.505, 95% CI: 1.056-2.147, P = 0.024; Q4 vs. Q1, OR: 1.711, 95% CI: 1.171-2.499, P = 0.006; log10(Hs-CRP), OR: 1.504, 95% CI: 1.168-1.935, P = 0.002). Further subgroup analysis showed that a higher Hs-CRP was independently associated with a higher prevalence of CVD in the < 60 years, male, non-hypertension and non-hypercholesterolemia subgroups (P < 0.05). Additionally, RCS analysis revealed a linear positive correlation between Hs-CRP and CVD prevalence (P for nonlinearity = 0.244). CONCLUSION: A higher level of Hs-CRP was closely related to a higher prevalence of CVD in people with diabetes.
