Weight Management with Orlistat in Type 2 Diabetes - An Electronic Healthcare Records Study
CONCLUSIONS: Orlistat was significantly associated with weight loss in T2DM/prediabetes when taken for at least 12 weeks. However, orlistat is infrequently prescribed and often taken for <12 weeks. Orlistat may be a useful adjunct to lifestyle modifications in T2DM/prediabetes however barriers to continuing orlistat means it may not be effective for everyone in managing weight loss.PMID:38621802 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2023.0684 (Source: The British Journal of General Practice)

Continuity and breaches in GP care and their associations with mortality for patients with chronic disease: an observational study using Norwegian registry data
CONCLUSION: Higher disease-related and overall RGP UPC are both associated with lower mortality. However, changing RGP did not significantly affect mortality, indicating a compensatory benefit of informational and management continuity in a patient list system.PMID:38621803 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2023.0211 (Source: The British Journal of General Practice)

A movement for movement: an exploratory study of primary healthcare professionals' perspectives on implementing the Royal College of General Practitioners' active practice charter initiative
CONCLUSION: This is the first evaluation of any nationwide UK-based initiative engaging GP practices in promoting PA. Acknowledging the limitations in response rate, although support exists for the RCGP APC, the evaluation highlights challenges to its implementation. Nonetheless, the wide reach of the RCGP, combined with the cited staff and patient benefits, demonstrates the significant potential of the APC initiative. Given the need to address physical inactivity nationally, further development the APC offers a possible solution, with further research required to overcome the challenges to implementation.PMID:38622556 | D...

Impact of Ramadan fasting on lipid profile, uric acid, and HbA1c in CKD: A systematic review and meta-analysis
This study aims to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of studies related to the effect of fasting in the holy month of Ramadan on lipid profile, uric acid, and HbA1c in CKD patients. Studies were systematically searched and collected from three databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science). After screening, the quality and risk of bias assessment of the selected articles were evaluated. Study heterogeneity was assessed using the Cochrane test and I² statistic. In case of any heterogeneity random effects model with the inverse-variance method was applied. All analyses were performed using STATA software version 16. Four o...

A multimodal approach using fundus images and text meta-data in a machine learning classifier with embeddings to predict years with self-reported diabetes - An exploratory analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The machine learning model had acceptable accuracy and F1 score, and correctly classified more than half of the patients according to diabetes duration. Using large foundational models to extract image and text embeddings seems a feasible and efficient approach to predict years living with self-reported diabetes.PMID:38616442 | DOI:10.1016/j.pcd.2024.04.002 (Source: Primary Care)

Effectiveness of tailored talks between a cancer screening specialist and general practitioners to improve the uptake of colorectal cancer screening in Ancona (Italy) during the pandemic period
CONCLUSION: Persons cared for by GPs who received a tailored talk with a cancer screening specialist avoided a drop in CRC screening adherence, which characterised all other Italian screening programmes during the COVID-19 emergency. If future randomised trials confirm the impact of tailored talks, they may be incorporated into existing strategies to improve population CRC screening uptake.PMID:38618885 | DOI:10.1080/13814788.2024.2340672 (Source: European Journal of General Practice)

Safety and adverse events during primary care paramedic interfacility transfer of stable STEMI patients
CONCLUSIONS: We found PCP-interfacility transport of initially stable STEMI patients was safe and associated with a moderate proportion of adverse events, the majority of which did not require an advanced care intervention. These findings may help decision-making to avoid delays transferring stable patients to PCI-capable centers.PMID:38619868 | DOI:10.1080/10903127.2024.2342569 (Source: Prehospital Emergency Care)
