Objective: This meta-analysis aims to determine whether hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and perioperative hyperglycemia are associated with the increased risk of periprosthetic joint infection following total knee and hip arthroplasty.

Methods: A systematic search is performed in Medline (1966-October 2017), PubMed (1966-October 2017), Embase (1980-October 2017), ScienceDirect (1985-October 2017), and the Cochrane Library. Only high-quality studies are selected. A meta-analysis is performed using Stata 11.0 software.

Results: Six retrospective studies including 26,901 patients meet the inclusion criteria. The present meta-analysis indicates that there are significant differences between groups in terms of perioperative random blood glucose level [weighted mean difference (WMD) = 2.365, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.802-2.929, P = .000] and perioperative hemoglobin A1c level (WMD = 3.266, 95% CI: 2.858-3.674, P = .000). No significant difference is found regarding body mass index (BMI) condition between groups (WMD = 0.027, 95% CI: -0.487 to 0.541, P = .919).

Conclusion: The present meta-analysis shows that high HbA1c and perioperative hyperglycemia are associated with a higher risk of periprosthetic joint infection following total joint arthroplasty. Screening of HbA1c and perioperative blood glucose is therefore an effective method to predict deep infection.

Screening and monitoring of diabetes or dyslipidemia frequently involves a multi-step process requiring patients to obtain test requisitions from their primary care physician (PCP), followed by a laboratory visit and re-consultation. Point-of-care testing (POCT) for hemoglobin A (HbA) and lipid panel can streamline the patient care pathway. This study assessed the budget impact of introducing Afinion™ 2 POCT (Abbott Rapid Diagnostics) from the Canadian and Italian societal perspectives.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effects of oral semaglutide on the changes in food preference of Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: This retrospective multicenter study included 75 patients with type 2 diabetes who received oral semaglutide. The primary outcome was the change in the score of brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire (BDHQ) score 3 months after the initiation of oral semaglutide treatment.

Objective: Hyperglycemia, or glucose values >180 mg/dL, is associated with adverse post-operative outcomes. Our objective was to determine the impact of improving peri-operative glycemic control and evaluate infectious complications among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus undergoing open gynecologic surgery.

Methods: A multidisciplinary team standardized pre-operative screening, referral algorithms, and intra-operative and post-operative hyperglycemia management (Surgical Universal euGlycemic Attainment during Recovery initiative).
