Validation of the Diagnostic Accuracy Levels of International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision Codes for Diabetic Ketoacidosis: A Multicentre, Cross-sectional Study of Adults


2 months 1 week ago

International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes are commonly used to identify cases of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in health services research, but they have not been validated. Our aim in this study was to assess the accuracy of ICD, 10th revision (ICD-10) diagnosis codes for DKA.

Factors Affecting Quality of Life in Adolescents Living With Type 2 Diabetes: A Substudy of the Improving Renal Complications in Adolescents With Type 2 Diabetes Through REsearch (iCARE) Cohort


2 months 1 week ago

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) disproportionately impacts adolescents living in challenging socioeconomic conditions. However, the impacts of T2D on quality of life (QOL) in this context are unknown. Our aim in this study was to evaluate QOL and identify its biological, psychological, and social determinants among adolescents living with and without T2D from similar sociodemographic backgrounds. Relationships between glycemic stability, early complications, and treatments of T2D and QOL were also examined.

Online Educational Resources for Youth Living With Type 1 Diabetes Transitioning to Adult Care: An Environmental Scan of Canadian Content


2 months 3 weeks ago

There are many educational resources for adolescents and young adults living with type 1 diabetes; however, it is unknown whether they address the breadth of topics related to transition to adult care. Our aim in this study was to collect educational resources relevant to Canadian youth and assess their quality and comprehensiveness in addressing the knowledge necessary for youth to prepare for interdependent management of their diabetes.

Risk of Breast Cancer After Diabetes in Pregnancy: A Population-based Cohort Study


2 months 4 weeks ago

Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of several cancers, including postmenopausal breast cancer. The evidence for higher breast cancer risk after diabetes in pregnancy is conflicting. We compared the incidence of breast and other cancers between pregnant women with and without diabetes.

Risk Prediction Scores for Type 2 Diabetes Microvascular and Cardiovascular Complications Derived and Validated With Real-world Data From 2 Provinces: The DIabeteS COmplications (DISCO) Risk Scores


2 months 4 weeks ago

Existing tools to predict the risk of complications among people with type 2 diabetes poorly discriminate high- from low-risk patients. Our aim in this study was to develop risk prediction scores for major type 2 diabetes complications using real-world clinical care data, and to externally validate these risk scores in a different jurisdiction.

Impaired Cardiovagal Activity as a Link Between Hyperglycemia and Arterial Stiffness in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients Among an Eastern Indian Population: A Cross-sectional Study


3 months 1 week ago

Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is one of the most common yet overlooked complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). T2DM patients with CAN have a 5-fold higher rate of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The presence of CAN in T2DM could potentially lead to arterial stiffness. However, only sparse data are available suggesting any association between autonomic dysfunction and arterial stiffness in T2DM.

Impact of COVID-19 Lockdown on Occurrence of Acute Complications of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes and Overall Glycemic Management


3 months 2 weeks ago

The association of diabetes, and COVID-19 infection has been studied extensively; however, the occurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or hyperglycemic/hyperosmolar states (HHS) in adults during the lockdown has not been well characterized. In this study, we aimed to identify the impact of the lockdown on occurrence and severity of DKA/HHS admissions and glycemic management.

Impact of Antenatal Care Modifications on Gestational Diabetes Outcomes During the COVID-19 Pandemic


3 months 2 weeks ago

Many of the adverse outcomes of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are linked to excessive fetal growth, which is strongly mediated by the adequacy of maternal glycemic management. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a rapid adoption of virtual care models. We aimed to compare glycemic management, fetal growth, and perinatal outcomes before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
