Diabetes-related distress and associated factors among adults with diabetes in Germany: Results of the nationwide study "Disease knowledge and information needs - Diabetes mellitus 2017".

Background: Diabetes-related distress (DRD) can affect diabetes management adversely. In lack of population-based data, the frequency and determinants of DRD among adults with diabetes in Germany remain controversial.

Methods: This study included 1367 adults with diabetes who participated in a nationwide health telephone survey conducted among German adults aged 18 years and older in 2017.

German Diabetes Risk Score for the Determination of the Individual Type 2 Diabetes Risk.

Background: The German Diabetes Risk Score (GDRS) currently enables prediction of the individual risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) within five years. The aim of this study is to extend the prediction period of the GDRS, including its non-clinical version and its HbA1c extension, to 10 years, and to perform external validation.

Methods: In data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)-Potsdam study (n = 25 393), Cox proportional hazards regression was used to reweight the points that were used to calculate the five-year risk.

[Algorithm for the Classification of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus for the Analysis of Routine Data].

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a disease of high public health relevance. To estimate the temporal development of prevalence, routine data of statutory health insurances (SHI) are being increasingly used. However, these data are primarily collected for billing purposes and the case definition of specific diseases remains challenging.

Self-assessed quality of care among adults with diagnosed diabetes in Germany.

People who have diabetes require regular medical care. The views of patients about the quality of their care are becoming increasingly relevant when it comes to chronic diseases such as diabetes. As part of the nationwide study Disease Knowledge and Information Needs - Diabetes mellitus (2017), data on self-assessed quality of care by people with diagnosed diabetes was collected using the Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care - DAWN short form (PACIC-DSF, scale 1 to 5) and analysed for respondents aged 45 years or above.

Diabetes mellitus and comorbidities - A cross-sectional study with control group based on nationwide ambulatory claims data.

As a condition, diabetes mellitus is associated with risk factors and diseases such as obesity. At the same time, cardiovascular diseases are a frequent consequence of diabetes. There have yet to be any findings on the Germany-wide prevalence of diabetes and diabetes comorbidities based on statutory health insurance data.
