Inequalities in healthcare utilisation among adults with type 2 diabetes.

Aims: To examine inequality in dentist, ophthalmologist, and podiatrist attendance among adults with type 2 diabetes in a country with varying degrees of co-payment.

Research Design And Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study with a population of 41,181 people with type 2 diabetes resident in the Central Denmark Region in 2019, identified through Danish registers using a prespecified diabetes algorithm. Descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression were used to examine the attendance at dentist, ophthalmologist, and podiatrist, controlling for sociodemographic and clinical factors.

Oral health and type 2 diabetes in a socioeconomic perspective.

Aims: This study aimed to examine the association between type 2 diabetes and poor self-rated oral health, and to investigate whether such association is modified by socioeconomic position.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study, including a population aged 18-75 years with self-reported type 2 diabetes (N = 41,884) and a sex-, age- and municipality-matched reference population from the Health in Central Denmark survey (2020). Multivariable logistic regression was used, and effect modification of indicators of socioeconomic position was examined.

Is the Femoral-Epiphyseal Acetabular Roof (FEAR) index associated with hip pain in patients with hip dysplasia?

Background: Micro instability of the hip joint has been suggested to cause pain in patients with hip dysplasia. Recently, the Femoral-Epiphyseal Acetabular Roof (FEAR) index has been developed to evaluate hip instability in patients with dysplasia.

Purpose: To investigate associations between the FEAR index and patient-reported outcomes before and six months after periacetabular osteotomy (PAO).
