Purpose: The purpose of the study was to describe the development and feasibility of implementing the DM-BOOST program in support of an established diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) program.

Methods: A patient panel of 4 adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) codesigned DM-BOOST. DM-BOOST is a patient-focused program that includes peer-written text messages about diabetes self-management behaviors and digital health training to improve patient portal use and initiate goal setting prior to a scheduled DSMES appointment. Adults with T2DM and A1C ≥8.0% participated in a 6-month feasibility pilot. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either DM-BOOST or usual care. Outcomes included DSMES engagement (scheduled and attended DSMES appointments) and changes in diabetes self-efficacy and treatment satisfaction.

Results: Pilot participants (n = 60) were 60.0% female with mean age 45.5 years (SD 8.3) and A1C 10.1% (SD 1.8%). All DM-BOOST participants (30/30, 100%) had DSMES appointments scheduled compared to 86.7% of usual care (26/30). DM-BOOST participants had fewer DSMES appointment no-shows/cancellations (3/30, 10%) compared to usual care (10/26, 35%). There was greater improvement in diabetes self-efficacy in the DM-BOOST group compared to usual care and no difference in treatment satisfaction.

Conclusions: DM-BOOST, leveraging peer-written text messaging and digital health training, increased DSMES engagement. Implementation of DM-BOOST was determined to be feasible, with several system-level barriers identified, including obtaining provider referrals and scheduling appointments. An effectiveness trial of DM-BOOST is needed to evaluate the impact on clinical outcomes.

Aims: Methods of non-invasive remote patient monitoring (RPM) for heart failure (HF) remain diverse. Understanding factors that influence the effectiveness of RPM on HF-related and all-cause hospitalizations, mortality, and emergency department visits is crucial for developing successful RPM interventions. This meta-analysis aims to synthesize and compare existing literature on RPM components that impact HF-related and all-cause hospitalizations, mortality and emergency department visits in HF patients.

Mapping the effectiveness and risks of GLP-1 receptor agonists.

Clinical Epidemiology Center, Research and Development Service, VA St. Louis Health Care System, St. Louis, MO, USA.

Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are increasingly being used to treat diabetes and obesity. However, their effectiveness and risks have not yet been systematically evaluated in a comprehensive set of possible health outcomes. Here, we used the US Department of Veterans Affairs databases to build a cohort of people with diabetes who initiated GLP-1RA (n = 215,970) and compared them to those who initiated sulfonylureas (n = 159,465), dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors (n = 117,989) or sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors (n = 258,614), a control group composed of an equal proportion of individuals initiating sulfonylureas, DPP4 inhibitors and SGLT2 inhibitors (n = 536,068), and a control group of 1,203,097 individuals who continued use of non-GLP-1RA antihyperglycemics (usual care).

Objectives: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely prescribed medications and commonly used for the treatment of gastric acid-related disorders. Nevertheless, PPIs are often overused leading to potential adverse effects and unnecessary healthcare costs. Deprescribing strategies have emerged to safely reduce or substitute inappropriate PPIs and optimise patient care in an evidence-based manner.
