Type 2 diabetes complications in ethnic minority compared with European host populations: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to quantify differences in type 2 diabetes (T2D) complications between ethnic minority populations and European host populations, in both cross-sectional and prospective studies. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we searched multiple databases for studies (until July 1, 2024) with T2D complications as outcome. Studies were included if they compared ethnic minority populations to the host population and were conducted in Europe.

Potentially Inappropriate Medication in Older Persons With Dementia: Does a Migration Background Matter?

Objectives: Previous research in the general population shows more potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) among persons with a migration background compared with persons without a migration background. This study investigated the association between non-Western (nw) migration background (MB) and dementia-specific PIMs in older adults with dementia in the Netherlands.

Design: Cohort study using routinely recorded electronic health records and administrative data.
