Population stratification in type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review.

Aims: There is increasing interest in using stratification in type 2 diabetes to target resources, individualise care and improve outcomes. We aim to systematically review and collate literature that has utilised population stratification methods in the study of adults with type 2 diabetes; and to describe and compare stratification methodologies, population characteristics, variables used to stratify and outcome variables.

Methods: The MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and Cochrane databases were searched from inception to July 2020.

Integrating primary care and social services for older adults with multimorbidity: a qualitative study.

Background: Growing demand from an increasingly ageing population with multimorbidity has resulted in complex health and social care needs requiring more integrated services. Integrating primary care with social services could utilise resources more efficiently, and improve experiences for patients, their families, and carers. There is limited evidence on progress including key barriers to and drivers of integration to inform large-scale national change.
