Diabetes Res Clin Pract
February 2019
Aims: Clinical guidelines advocate that cardiovascular benefits of statin treatment overweigh the risk of impairment of glucose metabolism. The aim of the study was to examine the attitudes of family doctors towards statin treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: We disseminated a questionnaire examining doctors' attitudes to existing clinical guidelines and the factors leading to a doctor's decision to prescribe statins to diabetic patients.
Background: Telemedicine carries the potential of providing healthcare for individuals with limited access to clinics. While in some subspecialties telemedicine has been proved to be effective, its efficacy for replacing standard visits in complex subspecialties, such as pediatric neurology, has not been studied.
Objectives: To determine compliance and adherence to follow-up and medication prescription for online pediatric neurology clinics.
