Evaluation of the Steno Type 1 Risk Engine in predicting cardiovascular events in an ethnic mixed population of type 1 diabetes mellitus and its association with chronic microangiopathy complications.

Background: The Steno Type 1 Risk Engine (ST1RE) was developed to aid clinical decisions in primary prevention for individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D), as existing cardiovascular (CV) risk models for the general population and type 2 diabetes tend to underestimate CV risk in T1D. However, the applicability of ST1RE in different populations remains uncertain, as prediction models developed for one population may not accurately estimate risk in another. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the ST1RE in predicting CV events among ethnically mixed T1D individuals and its association with the progression of microangiopathy complications.

[The association of fibromyalgia and systemic lupus erythematosus change the presentation and severity of both diseases?].

Introduction: The association of fibromyalgia (FM) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have been investigated, with conflicting results regarding the impact of a condition on the other.

Objectives: To determine the frequency of FM in a sample of patients with SLE treated at the Hospital Complex of Sorocaba (CHS) and the impact of FM in SLE activity and quality of life, as well as of SLE in FM.

Material And Methods: Descriptive and correlational study.
