Sleep Duration and Daytime Napping and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes among Japanese Men and Women: the Japan Collaborative Cohort Study for Evaluation of Cancer Risk
ConclusionsLong sleep duration was associated with the risk of T2DM in both sexes, which was confined to the non-overweight.PMID:36155360 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20220118

Characterization of baseline clinical factors associated with incident worsening kidney function in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: the Hokuriku-Plus AF Registry
AbstractEvidence suggests that atrial fibrillation (AF) could increase the risk of worsening kidney function (WKF) which is linked to an increased risk of stroke, bleeding, and death in AF patients. However, limited data exist regarding the factors that could lead to WKF in these patients. Therefore, we sought to identify the potential factors associated with the development of WKF in patients with non-valvular AF (NVAF). We analyzed prospectively recruited 1122 NVAF patients [men 71.9%, median age 73.0  years (interquartile range: 66.0–79.0)] with a baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 15 mL/mi...

Prescription patterns and therapeutic effects of second-line drugs in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: Analysis of claims data for metformin and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors as the first-line hypoglycemic agents
CONCLUSIONS: Metformin was suggested to have larger effect to reduce death than sulfonylurea in patients receiving first-line DPP4i. The order of first- and second-line for the DPP4i and metformin combination did not affect the outcomes. Given the nature of the study design, certain limitations, including potential under-adjustment for confounders, should be considered.PMID:37096493 | DOI:10.1080/14656566.2023.2206016

Probabilistic graphical modelling using Bayesian networks for predicting clinical outcome after posterior decompression in patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy
CONCLUSIONS: The causal predictors of surgical outcome for DCM were sex, dementia and PreJOA score. Therefore, PGM may be a useful personalized medicine tool for predicting the outcome of patients with DCM.PMID:37435966 | DOI:10.1080/07853890.2023.2232999

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers for adults with early (stage 1 to 3) non-diabetic chronic kidney disease
CONCLUSIONS: There is currently insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of ACEi or ARB in patients with stage 1 to 3 CKD who do not have DM. The available evidence is overall of very low certainty and high risk of bias. We have identified an area of large uncertainty for a group of patients who account for most of those diagnosed as having CKD.PMID:37466151 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD007751.pub3
