The Association Between Glycaemic Control, Renal Function and Post-operative Ophthalmic Complications in People With Diabetes Undergoing Cataract Surgery-A Single-Centre Retrospective Analysis.

Introduction: In general surgery, it has been shown that poor peri-operative diabetes control, as measured by glycated haemoglobin (HbA), is associated with adverse post-operative outcomes. National data for the UK suggest that the post-operative complication rate for cataract surgery is 2.8%.

Changing prevalence and treatment of depression among older people over two decades.

Background: Depression is a leading cause of disability, with older people particularly susceptible to poor outcomes.

Aims: To investigate whether the prevalence of depression and antidepressant use have changed across two decades in older people.

Method: The Cognitive Function and Ageing Studies (CFAS I and CFAS II) are two English population-based cohort studies of older people aged ≥65 years, with baseline measurements for each cohort conducted two decades apart (between 1990 and 1993 and between 2008 and 2011).
