Objective: To examine living setting at 3- to 6-month follow-up for inpatients with functional impairments discharged from medical rehabilitation.
Design: Retrospective performed by using information from the Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation (UDSMR) representing medical rehabilitation patients across the United States.
Setting: National survey data.
Participants: Information submitted in 1997 and 1998 to the UDSMR by 167 facilities from 40 states was examined. A total of 9587 patient records were included in the final sample. The mean age +/- standard deviation was 70.2+/-12.4 years. The sample included 51.6% women and was comprised of 77.5% non-Hispanic white patients, with an average length of stay of 22.3+/-4.6 days.
Interventions: Not applicable.
Main Outcome Measure: Living setting (home vs not at home) at 3- to 6-month follow-up.
Results: A discriminant function training model including 8 statistically significant variables correctly classified 85.1% of the patients (n=8149). The total FIM instrument score, patient age, function-related group, and marital status were found to be useful classification variables. Wilks lambda for the model was.924 (chi(2)=1031.49, P<.000). The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve was.85.
Conclusion: The association among functional abilities, demographic characteristics, and follow-up living setting in patients with stroke is complex. Functional variables can be used to help predict follow-up living setting. These variables change based on patient severity level.

Real-World Effectiveness and Tolerability of Dolutegravir and Lamivudine 2-Drug Regimen in People Living with HIV: Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis.
Infect Dis Ther
January 2025
ViiV Healthcare, Madrid, Spain.
Introduction: Dolutegravir (DTG) + lamivudine (3TC) demonstrated high rates of virologic suppression (VS) and low rates of virologic failure (VF), discontinuation, and drug resistance in randomized trials. Real-world evidence can support treatment effectiveness, safety, and tolerability in clinical practice and aid in treatment decisions.
Methods: A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to identify studies using DTG + 3TC (January 2013-March 2024).
Addressing Diabetes Distress in Primary Care: Where Are We Now, and Where Do We Need to Go?
Curr Diab Rep
January 2025
Department of Family Medicine, University of Colorado School of Medicine, 13199 E Montview Blvd, Aurora, CO, 8004, USA.
Purpose Of Review: Addressing diabetes distress (DD), the emotional demands of living with diabetes, is a crucial component of diabetes care. Most individuals with type 2 diabetes and approximately half of adults with type 1 diabetes receive their care in the primary care setting. This review will provide guidance on addressing DD and implementing targeted techniques that can be tailored to primary care patients.

Department of Infectious Diseases, Westmead Hospital, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Background: With improved outcomes in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) due to the use of anti-retroviral therapy, ensuring adequate preventative healthcare and management of HIV-related comorbidities is essential.
Aims: To evaluate adherence with recommended guidelines for comorbidity and immunisation status screening amongst people living with HIV within a hospital-based setting across two timepoints.
Methods: A single-centre retrospective case series was conducted at a hospital between 2011 and 2021.
Impact of a multidisciplinary diabetes care programme on glycaemic and metabolic outcomes in regional and First Nations communities: a retrospective observational study.
Intern Med J
January 2025
Mackay Health and Hospital Service, Townsville, Queensland, Australia.
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) poses a significant public health challenge in Australia, particularly among underserved populations such as First Nations people and rural communities. In response, the Together Strong Connected Care (TSCC) programme was developed to address these disparities by offering a culturally appropriate, multidisciplinary approach to diabetes management in a regional hospital setting.
Aims: The aim of the study was to assess the impact of the TSCC programme on glycaemic and metabolic control in people living with diabetes.
Background: Women involved in the criminal legal system have elevated rates of opioid use disorder, which is treatable, and HIV, which is preventable with pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). There are significant social and structural barriers to integrated delivery of PrEP and medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), limiting women's ability to access these life-saving interventions. In a two parallel-arm randomized controlled trial, we are assessing an innovative eHealth delivery model that integrates PrEP with MOUD and is tailored to meet the specific needs of women involved in the criminal legal system.
