Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the risk factors for severe hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at a hospital in Indonesia, focusing on those who had been attending the clinic for at least a year.
- Out of 291 participants, 25.4% experienced at least one severe hypoglycemia episode in the past year, with significant links found to previous severe hypoglycemia events, reduced kidney function (eGFR under 60 mL/min/1.73m), and insulin use.
- The findings highlight that having a history of severe hypoglycemia, impaired kidney function, and insulin therapy substantially increase the risk of future severe hypoglycemic episodes.
Background: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the most terrifying diabetic complications for patients, due to the high mortality rate and risk for amputation. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many diabetic patients limited their visits to the hospital, resulting in delays for treatment especially in emergency cases.
Objective: This study aimed to compare the characteristics of patients with DFU pre- and during COVID-19 pandemic period.
Chronic limb ischemia (CLI) is strongly associated with increased mortality in diabetes patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate factors affecting mortality within 1 year after endovascular revascularization in CLI patients. This retrospective cohort study was based on medical records from the Integrated Cardiovascular Centre of Dr.

Methods: Secondary data analysis using health records from a large sexually transmitted disease clinic in Melbourne of 1710 men and their female partners attending on the same day from January 2006 to April 2015. Proportions of female partners with symptoms suggesting genital infection or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) were determined for: (1) men with NGU and no Chlamydia trachomatis or Mycoplasma genitalium (referred to as pathogen-negative NGU) (n = 91); 2) men with urethral C.
