Article Abstract

Objective: To assess the correlation of co-morbid ADHD and diabetes-related complications in patients with type-1-diabetes-mellitus (T1DM).

Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted during 2018 using the Leumit-Health-Services(LHS) database. Diabetes-related complications were assessed in patients with T1DM and ADHD (T1DM-ADHD+) and compared with patients with T1DM alone (T1DM-ADHD-).

Results: Out of 789 adult-patients with T1DM, 75 (9.5%) were T1DM-ADHD+, matched to 225 T1DM-ADHD-. HbAC levels were higher in T1DM-ADHD+ patients (8.1% ± 1.6 vs. 7.4% ± 1.2,  < .01), as well as diabetes-related complications: neuropathy (22.7% vs. 5.8%,  < .01), ulcers (8% vs. 0.9%,  < .05), limb amputation (5.3% vs. 0.9%,  < .05), albuminuria (15.5% vs. 2.8%,  < .01), chronic renal failure (10.6% vs. 2.5%,  = .01), and emergency room admissions rate (26.7% vs. 15.1%,  < .05). In sub-analysis, lower average HbAC levels and diabetic ulcer rates were found among ADHD patients treated with stimulants, all  < .05.

Conclusion: Co-morbidity of ADHD and T1DM is associated with poor glycemic control and higher complication rates.

Importance: As obesity rates rise in the US, managing associated metabolic comorbidities presents a growing burden to the health care system. While bariatric surgery has shown promise in mitigating established metabolic conditions, no large studies have quantified the risk of developing major obesity-related comorbidities after bariatric surgery.

Objective: To identify common metabolic phenotypes for patients eligible for bariatric surgery and to estimate crude and adjusted incidence rates of additional metabolic comorbidities associated with bariatric surgery compared with weight management program (WMP) alone.

Introduction: This study examines the characteristics of adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who were not initially treated with an antihyperglycemic agent (AHA).

Methods: The analyses used Optum de-identified Market Clarity data from January 2013 through September 2023. The US study included nonpregnant adults with T2D who were continuously insured from 1 year prior through 5 years post diagnosis and did not fill a prescription for an AHA in the year after their initial T2D diagnosis.

Objective: To investigate adverse pregnancy and delivery outcomes in women with GDMA1 during pregnancies conceived through fertility treatments.

Methods: This population-based retrospective cohort study examined adverse pregnancy and delivery outcomes in pregnancies affected by GDMA1 following fertility treatments compared to those conceived naturally. Women with GDMA1 who conceived via fertility treatments were classified as cases, while those who conceived naturally were designated as controls.

Background: The approval of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulators elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI), has significantly improved pulmonary function for people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). However, the effects on CF-related bone disease and body composition remain unclear.

Methods: This retrospective real-world study examined adults with CF who received ETI treatment.
