Aim: We performed a scoping review to identify the diabetes care determinants and barriers in patients with serious mental illness (SMI), in view of limited evidence and clarity.

Methods: We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) Guidelines. PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus were searched from inception to September 2023 to identify eligible studies. Observational studies that reported the determinants of and barriers to diabetes care among SMI patients were considered. A narrative synthesis of review results was performed to gather evidence. Recommendations were framed in the context of this evidence.

Results: Of the 8727 non-duplicate records, only 10 studies that met the inclusion criteria were considered for this review. Of these, four were cohort, two were case-control, and four were cross-sectional in design. All 10 studies were observed to have robust methodologies. Diabetes measures examined in these studies included not only the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) measures (HbA1c, retinopathy, nephropathy, and blood pressure), but also lipid, foot, and BMI. Factors contributing to inadequate diabetes care can be attributed to the healthcare system, healthcare providers, and at the patient-level.

Conclusion: Currently, there is lack of evidence on determinants of quality diabetes care among SMI patients. Further, adequately powered long term follow-up studies are needed to understand the impact of diabetes care on their clinical outcomes.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) frequently coexists with cardiorenal complications. Therefore, a holistic approach to patient management is required, with specialists such as primary care physicians, cardiologists, endocrinologists, and nephrologists working together to provide patient care. Although glycemic control is important in the management of T2D, patients with T2D and acceptable glycemic control are still at risk from cardiovascular (CV) events such as stroke, heart attack, and heart failure (HF).

Purpose: The Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Cohort has enrolled over 60,000 children to examine how early environmental factors (broadly defined) are associated with key child health outcomes. The ECHO Cohort may be well-positioned to contribute to our understanding of rural environments and contexts, which has implications for rural health disparities research. The present study examined the outcome of child obesity to not only illustrate the suitability of ECHO Cohort data for these purposes but also determine how various definitions of rural and urban populations impact the presentation of findings and their interpretation.

Background: To investigate the effect of postoperative supplementary parenteral nutrition (SPN) containing varying energy intake levels during the early postoperative period on the clinical outcomes of patients diagnosed with gastric cancer.

Methods: Data from 237 patients, who were diagnosed with gastric cancer between January 2016 and June 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on mean daily SPN energy intake: low (L-SPN; < 20 kcal/kg/day); and high (H-SPN; ≥ 20 kcal/kg/day).
