Background: A composite metric for the quality of glycemia from continuous glucose monitor (CGM) tracings could be useful assisting with basic clinical interpretation CGM data. Methods: We assembled a data set 14-day 225 insulin-treated adults diabetes. Using balanced incomplete block design, 330 clinicians who were highly experienced analysis and ranked best to worst glycemia. used principal component multiple regressions develop model predict clinician ranking based on seven standard...
Background We examined the human toll and subsequent humanitarian crisis resulting from Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on 24 February 2022. Method extracted analysed data military attacks Ukrainians between 4 August The tracked direct deaths injuries, damage to healthcare infrastructure impact health, destruction residences, infrastructure, communication systems, utility services – all disrupted lives Ukrainians. Results As 2022, 5552 civilians were killed outright 8513 injured in...
Importance Since the full-scale Russian invasion, hospitals in Ukraine have been compelled to close or operate at reduced capacity due inadequate supplies, damage, destruction caused by war. Objective To analyze hospital services during period before and after invasion. Design, Setting, Participants Of 450 currently functioning Ukraine, a cross-sectional survey was carried out with participation of 74 from 12 oblasts. Hospital administrators responded an online questions on use services....
This article is the work product of Continuous Glucose Monitor and Automated Insulin Dosing Systems in Hospital Consensus Guideline Panel, which was organized by Diabetes Technology Society met virtually on April 23, 2020. The guideline panel consisted 24 international experts use continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) automated insulin dosing (AID) systems representing adult endocrinology, pediatric obstetrics gynecology, advanced practice nursing, diabetes care education, clinical chemistry,...
An error grid compares measured versus reference glucose concentrations to assign clinical risk values observed errors. Widely used grids for blood monitors (BGMs) have limited value because they do not also reflect accuracy of continuous (CGMs).
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has required institutions to rapidly adapt changing public health circumstances. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention encouraged care facilities explore novel delivery modes. However, many may not be prepared begin offering digital telehealth services. Chatbots are one tool that can help evolve triage screening processes in a scalable manner. Here, we present decision-making implementation framework deploying COVID-19 chatbots at...
Background: Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) systems were originally intended only for people with diabetes. Recently, there has been interest in monitoring concentrations a variety of other situations. As data accumulate to support the use CGM additional states unrelated diabetes, is likely increase accordingly. Methods: PubMed and Google Scholar searched articles about individuals without Relevant that included sufficient details queried identify what cohorts adopting define trends use....
Artificial intelligence can use real-world data to create models capable of making predictions and medical diagnosis for diabetes its complications. The aim this commentary article is provide a general perspective present recent advances on how artificial be applied improve the prediction six significant complications including (1) gestational diabetes, (2) hypoglycemia in hospital, (3) diabetic retinopathy, (4) foot ulcers, (5) peripheral neuropathy, (6) nephropathy.
Abstract Background Social determinants of health (SDoH) describe the complex network circumstances that impact an individual before birth and across lifespan. SDoH contextualize factors in a community are associated with chronic disease risk certain disparities. The main objective this study was to explore on prevalence obesity diabetes, whether these explain disparities outcomes among Latinos Southern California. Methods We utilized three composite indices encompass different SDoH: Healthy...
The adverse impact of COVID-19 on marginalized and under-resourced communities color has highlighted the need for accurate, comprehensive race ethnicity data. However, a significant technical challenge related to integrating data in large, consolidated databases is lack consistency how about are collected structured by health care organizations.This study aims evaluate describe variations systems collect report information their patients assess well these integrated when aggregated into...
There is a need to evaluate how the choice of time interval contributes lack consistency SDoH variables that appear as important COVID-19 disease burden within an analysis for both case counts and death counts.This study identified associated with U.S county-level cumulative incidence six different periods: first 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 days since each county had one per 10,000 residents. The set were in following domains: resource deprivation, access care/health resources, population...
Introduction: The first meeting of the Integration Continuous Glucose Monitor Data into Electronic Health Record (iCoDE) project, organized by Diabetes Technology Society, took place virtually on January 27, 2022. Methods: Clinicians, government officials, data aggregators, attorneys, and standards experts spoke in panels breakout groups. Three themes were covered: 1) why digital health integration electronic record (EHR) is needed, 2) what integrated continuously monitored glucose will look...
The annual Virtual Hospital Diabetes Meeting was hosted by the Technology Society on April 14 and 15, 2023, with goal of reviewing progress made in hospital use continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). topics included (1) Nursing Issues, Protocols, Order Sets, Staff Education for Using CGMs, (2) Implementing CGM Programs Use Wards, (3) Quality Metrics Financial Implications CGMs Hospital, (4) Critical Care Setting, (5) Special Situations: Labor/Delivery Hemodialysis, (6) Research Session (7)...
BACKGROUND There are few opportunities in undergraduate medical education that provide formal training engineering and scientific innovation. Institutions have sought to address student-specific career goals through combined degree programs such as the Medical Scientist Training Program MD/MBA. However, only a small percentage of students pursue these additional degrees. Partnerships between schools Technology (MedTech) accelerators may create unique for gain real-world experience with...
The shortage of novel pediatric devices that accommodate the unique needs children exists due to several scientific, clinical, regulatory, and financial barriers. This global unmet need is being addressed in United States by multiple stakeholders including Food Drug Administration (FDA) its Pediatric Device Consortia (PDC) grant program. One critical area interest suboptimal medical device clinical trial infrastructure currently academic centers compounded at children’s hospitals. Although...
