Backgruound: Despite diabetes mellitus (DM) and pancreatitis being known risk factors for pancreatic cancer, patients with these conditions are not included in pancreatic cancer screening due to the low incidence of pancreatic cancer in these populations. This study aimed to determine the high-risk subgroup of patients with diabetes and pancreatitis that would benefit from pancreatic cancer screening.
Methods: A nested case-control study was conducted using data from the National Health Information Database of the Korean National Health Insurance Service.
Background: Achieving optimal glucose control is essential in the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of oral quadruple combination therapy for the treatment of T2D.
Methods: This meta-analysis reviewed original research on oral quadruple combination therapy for T2D, including both experimental and observational studies with a minimum duration of 12 weeks.
Background And Objectives: Despite the mechanistic potential of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) to improve neurologic outcomes, the efficacy of SGLT2i in neurodegenerative disorders among patients with type 2 diabetes is not well established. This population-based cohort study aimed to investigate the association of SGLT2i use with risks of incident dementia and Parkinson disease (PD) in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: This was a retrospective examination of data from a cohort of 1,348,362 participants with type 2 diabetes (≥40 years), who started antidiabetic drugs from 2014 to 2019, evaluated using the Korean National Health Insurance Service Database.
Data on epidemiology and secular trend in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in adults are relatively limited in Asian countries. This study aims to provide an overview of the secular trends in incidence, clinical characteristics, and treatment patterns of PHPT in South Korea. We used Korea's National Health Insurance Claim database (2005-2020) to identify newly diagnosed PHPT cases.

- The study examined the link between SGLT2 inhibitors and fracture risk in elderly women with type 2 diabetes who just started taking new diabetes medications.
- Data was analyzed from a nationwide cohort in South Korea, focusing on women aged 65 and older, specifically those not prescribed certain other diabetes drugs.
- Results indicated that SGLT2i users had a higher rate of vertebral fractures compared to non-users, suggesting caution when prescribing these medications to older women due to potential fracture risks.
