Incipient Albuminuria in Persons with Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A 5-Year Retrospective Cohort Study.
CONCLUSION: This study highlighted the importance of early screening and treatment of diabetes as well as prevention of hypertension, which could potentially delay the onset of microalbuminuria in persons with type 2 DM. Persons on ACEI or ARB treatment should continue to be monitored regularly for progression to albuminuria. PMID: 30636266 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore)

Making Clinical Practice Guidelines Pragmatic: How Big Data and Real World Evidence Can Close the Gap.
Abstract Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have become ubiquitous in every field of medicine today but there has been limited success in implementation and improvement in health outcomes. Guidelines are largely based on the results of traditional randomised controlled trials (RCTs) which adopt a highly selective process to maximise the intervention's chance of demonstrating efficacy thus having high internal validity but lacking external validity. Therefore, guidelines based on these RCTs often suffer from a gap between trial efficacy and real world effectiveness and is one of the common reasons contribu...

Outcomes of Patients Presenting with Primary or Secondary Atrial Fibrillation with Rapid Ventricular Rate to the Emergency Department.
CONCLUSION: Currently, majority of patients with AF with RVR are admitted from the ED. Other study suggests patients with uncomplicated primary AF have lower adverse outcomes and some could potentially be treated as outpatients.

Survey of Respiratory Virus in Patients Hospitalised for Acute Exacerbations of Heart Failure - A Prospective Observational Study.
CONCLUSION: This study identified a considerable burden of RVs in our ADHF cohort, and highlights the need for prevention of RVs in this group of patients. We also recognised the difficulty with clinical diagnosis of RVs in ADHF patients. PMID: 30578423 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore)
