Methods: This was a multicenter, retrospective cohort study conducted at an academic health system. Adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus initiated on a GLP1a or SGLT2i while on insulin and managed by an ambulatory care pharmacist were included.
Background: Prior research has demonstrated increased mortality with increasing glycemic variability (GV) in hospitalized patients with diabetes.
Objective: We aimed to compare glycemic variability (GV) of insulin glargine to detemir in the inpatient setting.
Methods: This single-center, retrospective, cohort study evaluated noncritically ill patients with diabetes on long-acting insulin at a large academic medical institution between 2010 and 2017.
Background: Recent literature and guidelines support treatment of severe acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) with prednisone 40 mg (or equivalent) for 5 days.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether systemic corticosteroids were being prescribed at the appropriate dose and duration in the treatment of severe AECOPD at a large academic medical institution.
Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective, observational study conducted to evaluate corticosteroid prescribing patterns for adults admitted for severe AECOPD from March to May 2019 at a large academic medical institution.
