Article Abstract
Objectives: Although personality characteristics of patients with SLE affect their disease activity and damage, it is unclear whether those of attending physicians affect the outcomes of patients with SLE. Grit is a personality trait for achieving long-term goals that may influence the decision-making for continuing treatment plans for patients. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between the grit of attending physicians and achievement of treatment goals in patients with SLE.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at five referral hospitals. The main exposure was 'consistency of interest' and 'perseverance of effort' of the attending physicians, measured by the Short Grit Scale. The primary outcome was achievement of a lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS). The association between physicians' grit score and LLDAS was analysed by generalized estimating equation (GEE) logistic regression with cluster robust variance estimation, with adjustment for confounders.
Results: The median (interquartile range) total, consistency and perseverance scores of 37 physicians were 3.1 (2.9-3.6), 3.3 (2.8-3.8) and 3.3 (3.0-3.5), respectively. Among the 386 patients, 154 (40%) had achieved LLDAS. Low consistency score (≤2.75) in physicians was related to LLDAS achievement independently using GEE logistic regression. The score of the question 'I often set a goal but later choose to pursue a different one' was significantly higher in patients achieving LLDAS.
Conclusions: Difficulty of attending physicians to change treatment goals might be related to lower LLDAS achievement in patients with SLE.

Introduction: This post hoc analysis of an A Toujeo Observational Study (ATOS) aims to evaluate the real-world effectiveness and safety of insulin glargine 300 U/ml (Gla-300) in high-risk subgroups of insulin-naïve people with type 2 diabetes (PwT2D) from multiple geographical regions (Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe).
Methods: In these post hoc analyses of ATOS, a real-world, 12-month, prospective study included 4422 insulin-naïve adults (age ≥ 18 years) with type 2 diabetes (T2D) uncontrolled (HbA > 7% and ≤ 11%) on one or more oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) who initiated Gla-300 treatment as per routine practice. Primary and secondary endpoints were studied according to renal impairment (RI) status (without or with) and age group ( View Article and Find Full Text PDF

Clinical decision support (CDS) tools in electronic health records (EHRs) often face low uptake due to limited usability, workflow integration, and other implementation issues. We recently designed and implemented the STRATIFY-CDS tool, which calculates a validated risk-prediction model and recommends disposition for emergency department (ED) patients with acute heart failure. Despite applying human-centered design and implementation science strategies, initial utilization in the first 3 months of the STRATIFY-CDS tool was just 3%.
