However, few studies have established networks of symptoms experienced by older patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Our goal was to examine the type of symptom clusters of older maintenance hemodialysis patients during dialysis and construct a symptom network to understand the symptom characteristics of this population.

Introduction: Insulin therapy plays an irreplaceable role in glycaemic control among older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and can be administered by either multiple daily injections (MDI) of insulin or by a continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) pump. Many clinical trials have compared the effects of CSII pumps and MDI in various diabetic populations, but there has been no systematic review and meta-analysis focusing on older adults with T2DM. This study aims to determine whether the CSII pump is associated with better glycaemic control relative to the MDI in older adults with T2DM.
