Individualised screening of diabetic foot: creation of a prediction model based on penalised regression and assessment of theoretical efficacy.

Aims/hypothesis: A large proportion of people with diabetes do not receive proper foot screening due to insufficiencies in healthcare systems. Introducing an effective risk prediction model into the screening protocol would potentially reduce the required screening frequency for those considered at low risk for diabetic foot complications. The main aim of the study was to investigate the value of individualised risk assignment for foot complications for optimisation of screening.

Making Use of Comparable Health Data to Improve Quality of Care and Outcomes in Diabetes: The EUBIROD Review of Diabetes Registries and Data Sources in Europe.

Background: Registries and data sources contain information that can be used on an ongoing basis to improve quality of care and outcomes of people with diabetes. As a specific task of the EU Bridge Health project, we carried out a survey of diabetes-related data sources in Europe.

Objectives: We aimed to report on the organization of different sources of diabetes information, including their governance, information infrastructure and dissemination strategies for quality control, service planning, public health, policy and research.

Different Types of Physical Activity and Metabolic Control in People With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

Background: The aim of presented cross-sectional study was to determine the association of different types of physical activity (PA) with metabolic control in people with type 1 diabetes.

Materials And Methods: A total of 109 adult subjects with type 1 diabetes were asked to complete the non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) questionnaire, the hypoglycemia questionnaire, and the World Health Organization Global PA Questionnaire (GPAQ) which was used to assess moderate PA (MPA) and vigorous PA (VPA).

Results: NEAT score ( < 0.

Pregnancy after bariatric surgery: Consensus recommendations for periconception, antenatal and postnatal care.

The objective of the study is to provide evidence-based guidance on nutritional management and optimal care for pregnancy after bariatric surgery. A consensus meeting of international and multidisciplinary experts was held to identify relevant research questions in relation to pregnancy after bariatric surgery. A systematic search of available literature was performed, and the ADAPTE protocol for guideline development followed.
