Sex differences in risk of incident microvascular and macrovascular complications: a population-based data-linkage study among 25 713 people with diabetes.

Background: The global prevalence of diabetes is similar in men and women; however, there is conflicting evidence regarding sex differences in diabetes-related complications. The aim of this study was to investigate sex differences in incident microvascular and macrovascular complications among adults with diabetes.

Methods: This prospective cohort study linked data from the 45 and Up Study, Australia, to administrative health records.

Sex and age differences in the use of medications for diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors among 25,733 people with diabetes.

Aim: To determine sex and age differences in the use of medications for diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors in people with diabetes in Australia.

Methods: Pharmaceutical claims data of participants in the 45 and Up Study who self-reported having diabetes before 2013, were alive on 1st January 2013 and had at least one medication dispensing record between 1st January 2013 and 31st December 2019 were analysed. Annual sex and age-specific percentages of participants supplied specific medications were estimated for years 2013 to 2019.

Adherence to eye examination guidelines among individuals with diabetes: An analysis of linked health data.

Importance: Screening for diabetic retinopathy for early detection and treatment can prevent vision loss.

Background: We aimed to assess rates of eye examination of people with diabetes, adherence with national guidelines and investigate characteristics of those who do not adhere.

Design: We used data from the 45 and Up Study, a cohort study of 267 153 randomly selected residents aged ≥45 years from New South Wales, Australia.

Gestational age, morbidity and mortality among twin births in New South Wales, Australia 2003-2014: A cohort study.

Background: Evidence suggests that the trend toward early planned births observed among singletons may be evident among twin pregnancies.

Aims: To describe trends in gestational age at birth, pregnancy characteristics, neonatal morbidity and mortality among twin pregnancies.

Materials And Methods: Population-based data linkage study of twin births of ≥30 weeks of gestation without a major congenital anomaly born in 2003-2014 in New South Wales (NSW), Australia.

Higher fasting plasma glucose is associated with striatal and hippocampal shape differences: the 2sweet project.

Objective: Previous studies have demonstrated associations between higher normal fasting plasma glucose levels (NFG) (<6.1 mmol/L), type 2 diabetes (T2D) and hippocampal atrophy and other cerebral abnormalities. Little is known about the association between plasma glucose and the striatum despite sensorimotor deficits being implicated in T2D.
