Background: There is evidence that significantly disruptive health events, such as hospitalizations, may increase patients’ receptiveness to interventions that lead to healthier lifestyle choices and medication adherence. For example, research has shown that hospitalizations are particularly effective settings for delivering some interventions aimed at preventing chronic disease morbidity, such as intervening on tobacco use. Additional […]

Background: Prior case reports and case-series reports have shown an association between Opioid use disorder and Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP). However, clinical data regarding Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura co-existing with Opioid use disorder are still lacking in the literature. We aim to study patient characteristics, epidemiology, co-morbidities, and clinical outcomes in these patients. Methods: We analyzed […]

Background: Diabetes is an exceedingly common disease encountered by medical trainees, with over 8 million hospitalizations in 2018 listing type 1 or type 2 diabetes as a diagnosis (1). Evidence supports continuing certain oral diabetes medications during admission when safe, reflected in recent consensus statements from professional societies (2,3). Nevertheless, oral medications are often held […]

Background: Patients with diabetes who are hospitalized with COVID-19 have been found to have increased lengths of stay and greater intensive care unit utilization compared to those without diabetes. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute diabetes emergency that accounts for a high number of hospitalizations, hospital readmissions, and healthcare utilization. Our study aims to evaluate […]

Background: Stroke is one of the most common causes of adult mortality. With changes in lifestyle, the increase in risk factors is leading to an increase in the number of cases. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is associated with an increase in platelet size and hence increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increased expression of platelet […]

Background: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation is a commonly utilized procedure used for patients with chronic liver disease and resistant portal hypertension. Previous studies have explored the trends and short-term outcomes in TIPS procedures. This study aims to further compare short-term in-hospital outcomes of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) when undergoing TIPS. Methods: This […]

Background: Coffee is a widely consumed beverage. Evidence suggests that coffee consumption is associated with a substantially lower risk of type 2 diabetes (1). However, there is paucity of literature on whether coffee consumption has any protective effect on people who already have diabetes. We sought to examine the association between caffeine consumption and hemoglobin […]

Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) remains one of the commonest causes of medical and intensive care unit hospitalisations. DKA is a preventable hospital admission which is associated with multiple modifiable risk factors. However, little is known about factors that can predict healthcare resource utilisation in DKA. Previous studies have explored clinical and biochemical factors affecting the […]

Background: Hyperkalemia occurs frequently in diabetes. Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC), an oral, selective potassium (K) binder, rapidly reduces K in patients (pts) with hyperkalemia and has been shown to maintain normokalemia for up to 1 y. We compared the response to SZC in adults with and without diabetes mellitus (DM, type 1/2) in a 12 […]

Background: The role of aspirin in primary prevention of cardiovascular events remains controversial, Especially in diabetic patients. We have conducted a meta-analysis of all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of aspirin for primary prevention in diabetic patients. Methods: Literature search of Pubmed, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and Clinicaltrials.gov for related RCTs […]
