Article Synopsis
- Medication adjustments for Parkinson's disease are based on patient feedback and clinicians' assessments of motor symptoms like bradykinesia and tremor.
- This study evaluates how consistently different clinicians assess upper limb motor function in Parkinson's patients during video recordings of standardized hand movements.
- Results show that initial agreement among clinicians was poor, especially for certain movements, but training improved their consistency in ratings significantly.
Introduction: We explored the clinical and biochemical differences in demographics, presentation and management of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Research Design And Methods: This observational study included all episodes of DKA from April 2014 to September 2020 in a UK tertiary care hospital. Data were collected on diabetes type, demographics, biochemical and clinical features at presentation, and DKA management.
Objective: COVID-19 in people with diabetes is associated with a disproportionately worse prognosis. DKA is an acute complication of diabetes with a mortality rate of approximately 0.67%.
