Tantalizing connections between type 2 diabetes and degenerative lumbar spine disorders have become increasingly evident. However, the association of type 2 diabetes with degenerative lumbar spine disorders remains unclear. We sought to clarify the assoc
Novel oral glucose-lowering drugs are associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events and severe hypoglycaemia compared with insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes. Diabetes Obes Metab. 2017;19(6):831-841. doi:10.1111/dom.12889PubMedGoogle ScholarCrossref 41. Kosi...
doi:10.1111/jicd.12221A bidirectional relationship exists between diabetes and periodontitis. In the present clinical trial, we evaluated the effects of non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) on insulin resistance in patients with type II diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic periodontitis....
Furthermore, people with high OBS are less likely to develop DM [10, 11]. At the same time, Iranian adults with type-2 diabetes with higher OBS have better glycemic control [12], suggesting a close relationship between OBS and the development of DM. A large prospective cohort showed that...
A detailed description and definition of all comorbidities, along with their corresponding ICD-10 codes considered in this study, are provided in Supplementary Table 1, available in the online data supplement. The definition of ASCVD in this study encompasses a combination of myocardial infarction, ...
The Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score was defined from at least one claim’s data in the last 1 year using the ICD-10 code; detailed codes are presented in Supplementary Table 2. Classification of study population We defined hepatic steatosis using the fatty liver index (FLI) with a ...
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major global public health concern, with a total of 415 million people living with diabetes worldwide [1]. As the sixth leading cause of disability, T2DM carries tremendous healthcare and financial burden [2, 3]. Patients with T2DM have substantially high...
Albuminuria is a well-known predictor of chronic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). However, proteinuria is associated with chronic complications in patients without albuminuria. In this retrospective cohort study, we explored whether non-albumin proteinuria is associated with...
Recently, our and other groups have used eGDR as a proxy for insulin resistance to predict long-term outcomes also in people with T2D [10]. Whether grade of insulin resistance predicts stroke in people with T2D is not well known [11, 12]. We performed a nationwide population-based cohort...
Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus are increasingly susceptible to atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability, leading to severe cardiovascular events. In this study, we demonstrate that elevated serum levels of palmitic acid, a type of saturated fatty aci
