Background: Applicants with diabetes mellitus are at higher risk for many of the events covered by critical illness insurance. The relative risk of cardiovascular disease has not been quantified from an insurance perspective.
Methods: A literature search is done to determine the relative risk of cardiovascular disease, followed by an actuarial analysis to estimate the morbidity ratio for newly diagnosed diabetics compared to nondiabetics.
Results: Morbidity ratios are relatively similar in different studies, especially for ages 50 and older. Morbidity ratios are highest for ages 30-39 (300% to 500%), high for ages 40-49 (200% to 400%), and taper to 200% for older ages.
Conclusion: Morbidity ratios would be high in newly diagnosed diabetics who applied for critical illness insurance, ranging from a high of approximately 300% to 500% at ages 30-39 to a low of 200% at older ages.

Knowledge of the natural history of deficiency disorder (CDD) is limited to the results of cross-sectional analysis of largely pediatric cohorts. Assessment of outcomes in adulthood is critical for clinical decision-making and future precision medicine approaches but is challenging because of the diagnostic gap and duration of follow-up that would be required for prospective studies. We aimed to delineate the natural history retrospectively from adulthood.

Background: Patients who are informed about the causes, pathophysiology, treatment and prevention of a disease are better able to participate in treatment procedures in the event of illness. Artificial intelligence (AI), which has gained popularity in recent years, is defined as the study of algorithms that provide machines with the ability to reason and perform cognitive functions, including object and word recognition, problem solving and decision making. This study aimed to examine the readability, reliability and quality of responses to frequently asked keywords about low back pain (LBP) given by three different AI-based chatbots (ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini), which are popular applications in online information presentation today.
