Associations Between Socioeconomic Status and Patient Experience With Type 1 Diabetes Management and Complications: Cross-sectional Analysis of a Cohort From Québec, Canada.

Background: Low socioeconomic status (SES) may add to the challenges of type 1 diabetes (T1D) management and be an independent risk factor for chronic and acute diabetes complications. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the association between SES and TID management and risk of complications in a universal health-care system using data from a registry of people living with T1D (PWT1D) in Québec, Canada (the BETTER registry).

Methods: This study was a cross-sectional analysis describing the association between SES factors (education, income, employment and insurance coverage) and T1D outcomes (glycated hemoglobin [A1C], acute and chronic complications and comorbidities), using chi-square tests and regression analyses (adjusted for diabetes duration, sex, ethnicity and diabetes technology use).

Association of Caloric Intake, Protein Intake, and Enteral Feeding Initiation with Weight Gain in Infants Born 32 to 34 Weeks' Gestation.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the association of caloric intake, protein intake, and enteral feed initiation time in the first 3 days of life with weight loss percentage (%WL) at 7 days among infants born 32 to 34 weeks' gestational age (GA).

Study Design: This is a retrospective cohort study of 252 infants admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit. Patient data included patient characteristics, daily weight, intake, and method of nutrition in the first 3 days.
