Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate seasonality in the initial presentation of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) among Dutch children. METHODS Observational, nationwide study in the Netherlands. Using the national registry for both healthcare reimbursement and pharmaceutical care, data of all Dutch children (aged 0-14 years) with a diagnosis of T1DM in the period 2009-2011 were obtained. RESULTS During the study period (2009-2011) an average annual number of 2.909.537 children aged 0-14 lived in the Netherlands and 676 children were diagnosed with T1DM per year, translating into an annual incidence rate (IR) of T1DM of 23.2 per hundred thousand children (ptc). The annual IR differed significantly (p=0.03) between seasons: 6.4 ptc in winter, 4.9 ptc in spring, 5.4 ptc in summer and 6.6 ptc in autumn. This pattern was present within both boys and girls Conclusions: Among Dutch children aged 0-14 years, there is seasonality in the of T1DM with a peak incidence in autumn and winter.

Abstract
CONTEXT In type 1 diabetes mellitus, low levels of insulin-like growth factor -1 (IGF-1) and IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) and high levels of GH and IGFBP-1 are present, probably due to portal vein insulinopenia. OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that continuous ip insulin infusion (CIPII) has a more pronounced effect than sc insulin therapy on regulation of the GH-IGF-1 axis. DESIGN This was a prospective, observational case-control study. Measurements were performed twice at a 26-week interval. SETTING Two secondary care hospitals in the Netherlands participated in the study. PATIENTS There were a total of 184 patients, age- and gender-matched, of which 39 used CIPII and 145 sc insulin therapy for the past 4 years. OUTCOMES Primary endpoint included differences in IGF-1. Secondary outcomes were differences in GH, IGFBP-1, and IGFBP-3. RESULTS IGF-1 was higher with CIPII as compared to SC insulin therapy: 124 μg/liter (95% confidence interval [CI], 111-138) vs 108 μg/liter (95% CI 102-115) (P = .035). Additionally, IGFBP-3 concentrations were higher and IGFBP-1 and GH concentrations were lower with CIPII as compared to SC insulin therapy: 3.78 mg/liter (95% CI, 3.49-4.10) vs 3.31 mg/liter (95% CI, 3.17-3.47) for IGFBP-3, 50.9 μg/liter (95% CI, 37.9-68.2) vs 102.6 μg/liter (95% CI, 87.8-119.8) for IGFBP-1 and 0.68 μg/liter (95% CI, 0.44-1.06) vs 1.21 μg/liter (95% CI, 0.95-1.54) for GH, respectively. In multivariate analysis, IGF-1 had no significant association with HbA1c. CONCLUSIONS The GH-IGF-1 axis may be affected by the route of insulin administration with CIPII counteracting dysregulation of the GH-IGF1 axis present during sc insulin therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate whether high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) is associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in stable type 2 diabetes (T2D) outpatients treated in primary care. METHODS Cardiac troponin T was measured with a high-sensitive assay at baseline in patients with T2D participating in the observational ZODIAC study. Cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate the relationship between hs-cTnT and mortality with adjustment for selected confounders. Risk prediction capabilities of hs-cTnT were assessed with Harrell C statistics. RESULTS Complete baseline data were available for 1,133 patients. During median follow-up of 11 (7-14) years, 513 (45%) patients died, of which 218 (42%) died of cardiovascular causes. Of the patients with undetectable hs-cTnT levels (<3 ng/L), only 23% died, compared with 58% with low detectable levels (3-14 ng/L) and 84% with raised levels (≥14 ng/L). Natural log hs-cTnT was significantly associated with all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 1.30, 95% CI 1.19-1.42) and cardiovascular mortality (hazard ratio 1.33, 95% CI 1.15-1.53), independent of potential confounders. The Harrell C statistic for the crude model of hs-cTnT was 0.72 (95% CI 0.70-0.75) for all-cause mortality and 0.74 (95% CI 0.71-0.77) for cardiovascular mortality. CONCLUSIONS Higher levels of hs-cTnT are associated with mortality in stable outpatients with T2D. The high crude Harrell C values and the excellent prognosis of patients with undetectable levels illustrate the strength of hs-cTnT as a potential marker for mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Low concentrations of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGFI) have been reported in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), suggested to be due to low insulin concentrations in the portal vein. The aim was to describe the long-term course of IGFI concentrations among T1DM subjects treated with continuous intraperitoneal (IP) insulin infusion (CIPII). DESIGN Nineteen patients that participated in a randomized cross-over trial comparing CIPII and subcutaneous (SC) insulin therapy in 2006 were followed until 2012. IGF-I measurements were performed at the start of the 2006 study, after the 6 month SC- and CIPII treatment phase in 2006 and during CIPII therapy in 2012. Z-scores were calculated to compare the IGF-I concentrations with age-specific normative range values of a non-DM reference population. RESULTS In 2012, IGF-I Z-scores (-0.7; 95% confidence interval -1.3, -0.2) were significantly higher than at the start of the 2006 study (-2.5; -3.3, -1.8), the end of the SC (-2.0; -2.6, -1.5) and CIPII (-1.6; -2.1, -1.0) treatment phase with a mean difference of: 1.8 (0.9, 2.7), 1.3 (0.5, 2.1) and 0.8 (0.1, 1.6), respectively. CONCLUSION After 6 years of treatment with CIPII, IGF-I concentrations among T1DM patients increased to a level that is higher than during prior SC insulin treatment and is in the lower normal range compared to a non-DM reference population. The results of this study suggest that long-term IP insulin administration influences the IGF system in T1DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The howRu and howRwe are new short questionnaires which are meant to measure health-related quality of life and patient experience. However, validation at the individual patient level has not yet taken place. We aimed to investigate the validity of both questionnaires at the individual patient level. METHODS In this prospective validation study, patients were asked to complete both questionnaires and comment on their answers in a semi-structured in-depth interview. Based on the transcribed interviews, a panel of 45 general practitioners and 45 patients filled out the questionnaires as they thought the patients had completed them. The questionnaires were considered valid instruments when a reliable and acceptable level of agreement was reached between the patient's score and the score of a review panel, defined as a concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) of ≥0.70. Bland-Altman plots were also made. RESULTS Ninety patients were included. The CCC of the howRu total score of the review panel and patients was 0.80 (95 % CI 0.73 to 0.86). Bland-Altman plots showed a mean difference of -0.96 and the limits of agreement ranged from -2.87 to 0.95. The CCC of the howRwe total score was 0.57 (95 % CI 0.42 to 0.69). The mean difference on the Bland-Altman plots was -0.54 and the limits of agreement ranged from -3.59 to 2.52. CONCLUSIONS The howRu seems to be a valid questionnaire for measuring health-related quality of life at the individual patient level. We do not advice to use the tested version of the howRwe questionnaire for assessing patient experience at the individual patient level. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov NCT01830803 . Registration date: 5 April 2013.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION As continuous intraperitoneal insulin infusion (CIPII) results in a more physiologic action of insulin than subcutaneous (SC) insulin administration, we hypothesized that CIPII would result in less glycemic variability (GV) than SC insulin therapy among type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from 5-day blind continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) measurements performed during a 26-week, prospective, observational case-control study were analyzed. The coefficient of variation (CV) was the primary measure of GV. In addition, the SD of the mean glucose level, mean of daily differences, and mean amplitude of glycemic excursions were calculated. RESULTS In total, 176 patients (36% male; mean age, 49 [SD 13] years; median diabetes duration, 24 [interquartile range, 17, 35] years; glycated hemoglobin level, 63 [10] mmol/mmol), of which 37 used CIPII and 139 SC insulin therapy, were analyzed. CGM data were available for 169 patients at baseline (CIPII, n=35; SC, n=134) and for 164 patients at 26 weeks (CIPII, n=35; SC, n=129). After adjustment for baseline differences, the CV was 4.9% (95% confidence interval, 1.0, 8.8) lower with CIPII- compared with SC-treated patients, irrespective of the use of multiple daily injections or continuous SC insulin infusion. There were no differences in other indices of GV between groups. CONCLUSIONS Despite higher blood glucose, the CV was slightly lower with CIPII compared with SC insulin therapy in T1DM patients, and other measures of GV were identical. Future studies are needed to confirm these findings and investigate whether this results in prevention of hypoglycemia and even perhaps (less) microvascular complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The combination of an increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus and more people having access to smartphones creates opportunities for patient care. This study aims to investigate whether the use of the Diabetes Under Control (DBEES) mobile phone application, a digital diabetes diary, results in a change in quality of life for patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) compared with the standard paper diary. METHODS In this randomized controlled open-label trial, 63 patients with T1DM having access to a smartphone were assigned to the intervention group using the DBEES application (n = 31) or the control group using the standard paper diary (n = 32). Primary outcome was the change in quality of life, as measured by the RAND-36 questionnaire, between both groups. Secondary outcomes included diabetes-related distress (PAID), HbA1c, frequency of self-monitoring blood glucose, and the usability of the diabetes application (SUS). RESULTS Patients had a median age (IQR) of 33 (21) years, diabetes duration of 17 (16) years, and an HbA1c of 62 ± 16 mmol/mol. No significant differences in the QOL, using the RAND-36, within and between both groups were observed after 3 months. Glycemic control, diabetes-related emotional distress, and frequency of self-monitoring of blood glucose remained within and between groups. Users reviewed the usability of DBEES with a 72 ± 20, on a range of 0-100. CONCLUSIONS The use of the DBEES application in the management of patients with T1DM for 3 months yields no alterations in quality of life compared to the standard paper diary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The hormone somatostatin inhibits growth hormone release from the pituitary gland and is theoretically linked to diabetes and diabetes related complications. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between levels of the stable somatostatin precursor, N-terminal prosomatostatin (NT-proSST), with mortality in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients. METHODS In 1,326 T2DM outpatients, participating in this ZODIAC prospective cohort study, Cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate the independent relationship between plasma NT-proSST concentrations with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. RESULTS Median concentration of NT-proSST was 592 [IQR 450-783] pmol/L. During follow-up for 6 [3-10] years, 413 (31%) patients died, of which 176 deaths (43%) were attributable to cardiovascular causes. The age and sex adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality were 1.48 (95%CI 1.14 - 1.93) and 2.21 (95%CI 1.49 - 3.28). However, after further adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors there was no independent association of log NT-proSST with mortality, which was almost entirely attributable to adjustment for serum creatinine. There were no significant differences in Harrell's C statistics to predict mortality for the models with and without NT-proSST: both 0.79 (95%CI 0.77 - 0.82) and 0.81 (95%CI 0.77 - 0.84). CONCLUSIONS NT-proSST is unsuitable as a biomarker for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in stable outpatients with T2DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Describe the incidence, prevalence and survival of patients needing renal replacement therapy (RRT) for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) due to diabetes mellitus (DM)-related glomerulosclerosis or nephropathy (diabetic nephropathy, DN) in the Netherlands. DESIGN Using the national registry for RRT (RENINE-registry), data of all Dutch individuals initiating RRT for ESRD and having DN as primary diagnosis in the period 2000-2012 were obtained. SETTING Observational study in the Netherlands. PATIENTS Patients with ESRD needing RRT for DN. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Age and gender adjusted incidence and prevalence of RRT for DN in the period 2000-2012. In addition, trends in time and patient's survival were examined. RESULTS The prevalence of DM in the general population increased from approximately 466 000 in 2000 to 815 000 in 2011. The number of individuals who started RRT with DN as primary diagnosis was 17.4 per million population (pmp) in 2000 and 19.1 pmp in 2012, with an annual percentage change (APC) of 0.8% (95% CI -0.4 to 2.0). For RRT due to type 1 DN, the incidence decreased from 7.3 to 3.5 pmp (APC -4.8%, 95% CI -6.5 to -3.1) while it increased for type 2 DN from 10.1 to 15.6 pmp (APC 3.1%, 95% CI 1.3 to 4.8). After 2009, the prevalence of RRT for DN remained stable (APC 1.0%, 95% CI -0.4 to 2.5). Compared to the period 2000-2004, patients initiating RRT and dialysis in 2005-2009 had better survival, HRs 0.8 (95% CI 0.7 to 0.8) and 0.8 (95% CI 0.7 to 0.9), respectively, while survival after kidney transplantation remained stable, HR 0.8, 95% CI 0.5 to 1.1). CONCLUSIONS Over the last decade, the incidence of RRT for DN was stable, with a decrease in RRT due to type 1 DN and an increase due to type 2 DN, while survival increased.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Device-guided breathing (DGB) is recommended by the American Heart Association for its blood pressure-lowering effects. Most previous studies that showed beneficial effects on blood pressure had low methodological quality and only investigated short-term blood pressure effects. OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of DGB on blood pressure in a meta-analysis of individual patient data from blinded, randomized controlled trials with an active control group. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, EMBASE, clinicaltrials.gov, and the Cochrane Library. STUDY SELECTION Included were randomized studies of at least 4 weeks' duration, with a single- or double-blind design and an active control group. Bias was assessed with the Cochrane risk of bias tool, and analyses were performed with linear mixed models. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Articles were searched in MEDLINE (using PubMed), EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Office blood pressure. RESULTS From the 15 selected abstracts, 5 studies were suitable for inclusion. Individual patient data from 2 of 5 studies were not provided. The effect of DGB on office systolic blood pressure compared with music therapy or a sham device was 2.2 mm Hg (95% CI, -2.7 to 7.0) in favor of the control group; DGB did not significantly lower office diastolic blood pressure (0.2 mm Hg [95% CI, -2.8 to 3.1] in favor of DGB). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE All trials included in the analysis had a short follow-up period; therefore, no recommendations could be made regarding hypertension treatment. Treatment with DGB did not significantly lower office blood pressure compared with a sham procedure or music therapy.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have shown that the carpal tunnel syndrome seems to occur more frequently in patients with diabetes mellitus and might be associated with the duration of diabetes mellitus, microvascular complications and degree of glycaemic control. Primary aim was to determine if type 2 diabetes can be identified as a risk factor for carpal tunnel syndrome after adjusting for possible confounders. Furthermore, the influence of duration of diabetes mellitus, microvascular complications and glycaemic control on the development of carpal tunnel syndrome was investigated. Methods Retrospective, case–control study using data from electronic patient charts from the Isala (Zwolle, the Netherlands). All patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in the period from January 2011 to July 2012 were included and compared with a control group of herniated nucleus pulposus patients. Results A total of 997 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and 594 controls were included. Prevalence of type 2 diabetes was 11.5% in the carpal tunnel syndrome group versus 7.2% in the control group (Odds Ratio 1.67 (95% confidence interval 1.16-2.41)). In multivariate analyses adjusting for gender, age and body mass index, type 2 diabetes was not associated with carpal tunnel syndrome (OR 0.99 (95% CI 0.66-1.47)). No differences in duration of diabetes mellitus, microvascular complications or glycaemic control between groups were detected. Conclusion Although type 2 diabetes was more frequently diagnosed among patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, it could not be identified as an independent risk factor.

Abstract
AIM: To evaluate metabolic control and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in a type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) population.
METHODS: As part of a prospective cohort study, 283 T1DM patients treated with various insulin treatment modalities including multiple daily injections (MDI) and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) were examined annually. HRQOL was measured using the SF-36 and EuroQol questionnaires. Data regarding HRQOL, glycaemic and metabolic control from baseline and follow-up measures in 2002 and 2010 were analysed. Linear mixed models were used to calculate estimated values and differences between the three moments in time and the three treatment modalities.
RESULTS: Significant changes [mean Δ (95%CI)] in body mass index [2.4 kg/m2 (1.0, 3.8)], systolic blood pressure [-6.4 mmHg (-11.4, -1.3)] and EuroQol-VAS [-7.3 (-11.4, -3.3)] were observed over time. In 2010, 168 patients were lost to follow-up. Regarding mode of therapy, 52 patients remained on MDI, 28 remained on CSII, and 33 patients switched from MDI to CSII during follow-up. Among patients on MDI, HRQOL decreased significantly over time: mental component summary [-9.8 (-16.3, -3.2)], physical component summary [-8.6 (-15.3, -1.8)] and EuroQol-VAS [-8.1 (-14.0, -2.3)], P < 0.05 for all. For patients using CSII, the EuroQol-VAS decreased [-9.6 (-17.5, -1.7)]. None of the changes over time in HRQOL differed significantly with the changes over time within the other treatment groups.
CONCLUSION: No differences with respect to metabolic and HRQOL parameters between the various insulin treatment modalities were observed after 15 years of follow-up in T1DM patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Cyclophosphamide treatment improves renal survival in patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy. However, use of cyclophosphamide is associated with cancer. The incidence of malignancies in patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy was evaluated, and the cancer risk associated with cyclophosphamide use was estimated. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Patients who attended the clinic were included prospectively from 1995 on. A crude incidence ratio for the occurrence of malignancy was calculated. Incidence ratios were subsequently standardized to potential confounders. Latency between cyclophosphamide therapy and the occurrence of cancer was estimated by stratifying for time since the start of treatment. Finally, Poisson regression was used to obtain a multiple adjusted incidence ratio and investigate the dose-response relationship between cyclophosphamide and cancer. RESULTS Data were available for 272 patients; the mean age was 51 years, and 70% of the patients were men. Median follow-up was 6.0 years (interquartile range=3.6-9.5), and 127 patients were treated with cyclophosphamide. Cancer incidence was 21.2 per 1000 person-years in treated patients compared with 4.6 per 1000 person-years in patients who did not receive cyclophosphamide, resulting in crude and adjusted incidence ratios of 4.6 (95% confidence interval, 1.5 to 18.8) and 3.2 (95% confidence interval, 1.0 to 9.5), respectively. CONCLUSION Cyclophosphamide therapy in idiopathic membranous nephropathy gives a threefold increase in cancer risk. For the average patient, this finding translates into an increase in annual risk from approximately 0.3% to 1.0%. The increased risk of malignancy must be balanced against the improved renal survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Continuous intraperitoneal insulin infusion (CIPII) with an implantable pump is a treatment option for patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Aim of the present study was to describe the long-term course of glycaemic control, complications, health related quality of life (HRQOL) and treatment satisfaction among T1DM patients treated with CIPII. METHODS Nineteen patients that participated in a randomized cross-over trial comparing CIPII and subcutaneous (SC) therapy in 2006 were followed until 2012. Laboratory, continuous glucose monitoring, HRQOL and treatment satisfaction measurements were performed at the start of the study, the end of the SC-, the end of the CIPII treatment phase in 2006 and during CIPII therapy in 2012. Linear mixed models were used to calculate estimated values and to test differences between the moments in time. RESULTS In 2012, more time was spent in hyperglycaemia than after the CIPII treatment phase in 2006: 37% (95% CI 29, 44) vs. 55% (95% CI 48, 63), mean difference 19.8% (95% CI 3.0, 36.6). HbA1c was 65 mmol/mol (95% CI 60, 71) at the end of the SC treatment phase in 2006, 58 mmol/mol (95% CI 53, 64) at the end of the CIPII treatment phase and 65 mmol/mol (95% CI 60, 71) in 2012, respectively (p > 0.05). In 2012, the median number of grade 2 hypoglycaemic events per week (1 (95% CI 0, 2)) was still significantly lower than during prior SC therapy (3 (95% CI 2, 4)): mean change -1.8 (95% CI -3.4, -0.4). Treatment satisfaction with CIPII was better than with SC insulin therapy and HRQOL remained stable. Pump or catheter dysfunction of the necessitated re-operation in 7 patients. No mortality was reported. CONCLUSIONS After 6 years of CIPII treatment, glycaemic regulation is stable and the number of hypoglycaemic events decreased compared to SC insulin therapy. Treatment satisfaction with CIPII is superior to SC insulin therapy, HRQOL is stable and complications are scarce. CIPII is a safe and effective treatment option for selected patients with T1DM, also on longer term.

Abstract
Objective and Design Gliclazide has been associated with a low risk of hypoglycemic episodes and beneficial long-term cardiovascular safety in observational cohorts. The aim of this study was to assess in a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials the safety and efficacy of gliclazide compared to other oral glucose-lowering agents (PROSPERO2013:CRD42013004156) Data Sources Medline, EMBASE, Clinicaltrials.gov, Trialregister.nl, Clinicaltrialsregister.eu and the Cochrane database. Selection Included were randomized studies of at least 12 weeks duration with the following outcomes: HbA1c change, incidence of severe hypoglycemia, weight change, cardiovascular events and/or mortality when comparing gliclazide with other oral blood glucose lowering drugs. Bias was assessed with the Cochrane risk of bias tool. The inverse variance random effects model was used. Results Nineteen trials were included; 3,083 patients treated with gliclazide and 3,155 patients treated with other oral blood glucose lowering drugs. There was a considerable amount of heterogeneity between and bias in studies. Compared to other glucose lowering agents except metformin, gliclazide was slightly more effective (−0.13% (95%CI: −0.25, −0.02, I2 55%)). One out of 2,387 gliclazide users experienced a severe hypoglycemic event, whilst also using insulin. There were 25 confirmed non-severe hypoglycemic events (2.2%) in 1,152 gliclazide users and 22 events (1.8%) in 1,163 patients in the comparator group (risk ratio 1.09 (95% CI: 0.20, 5.78, I2 77%)). Few studies reported differences in weight and none were designed to evaluate cardiovascular outcomes. Conclusions The methodological quality of randomized trials comparing gliclazide to other oral glucose lowering agents was poor and effect estimates on weight were limited by publication bias. The number of severe hypoglycemic episodes was extremely low, and gliclazide appears at least equally effective compared to other glucose lowering agents. None of the trials were designed for evaluating cardiovascular outcomes, which warrants attention in future randomized trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The midregional fragment of proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) is a marker of endothelial dysfunction and has been associated with a variety of diseases. Our aim was to investigate whether MR-proADM is associated with new-onset albuminuria and cardiovascular (CV) and all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes treated in primary care. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Patients with type 2 diabetes participating in the observational Zwolle Outpatient Diabetes Project Integrating Available Care (ZODIAC) study were included. Cox regression analyses were used to assess the relation of baseline MR-proADM with new-onset albuminuria and CV and all-cause mortality. Risk prediction capabilities of MR-proADM for new-onset albuminuria and CV and all-cause mortality were assessed with Harrell's C and the integrated discrimination improvement. RESULTS In 1,243 patients (mean age 67 [±12] years), the median follow-up was 5.6 years (interquartile range 3.1-10.1); 388 (31%) patients died, with 168 (12%) CV deaths. Log2 MR-proADM was associated with CV (hazard ratio 1.96 [95% CI 1.27-3.01]) and all-cause mortality (1.78 [1.34-2.36]) after adjusting for age, sex, BMI, smoking, systolic blood pressure, cholesterol-to-HDL ratio, duration of diabetes, HbA1c, ACE inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker, history of CV diseases, log serum creatinine, and log albumin-to-creatinine ratio. MR-proADM slightly improved mortality risk prediction. The age- and sex-adjusted, but not multivariate-adjusted, MR-proADM levels were associated with new-onset albuminuria. CONCLUSIONS MR-proADM was associated with CV and all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes after a median follow-up of 5.6 years. There was no independent relationship with new-onset albuminuria. In the availability of an extensive set of risk factors, there was little added effect of MR-proADM in risk prediction of CV and all-cause mortality.

Abstract
Recently published Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines recommend limiting the use of immunosuppressive drugs in idiopathic membranous nephropathy to patients at the highest risk of kidney failure. However, recommendations are based on natural history rather than direct assessment of a restrictive treatment strategy. Here, we describe the long-term outcomes of treating a large cohort of patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy according to a restrictive treatment policy. We analyzed data for 254 patients who visited our outpatient clinic between 1995 and 2009. All patients were treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin-receptor blockers. Immunosuppressive therapy was recommended in cases of deteriorating renal function or untreatable nephrotic syndrome. Primary outcomes for the present study were renal replacement therapy and death. Secondary outcomes included adverse events during follow-up and remission of proteinuria. In total, 124 patients (49%) received immunosuppressive therapy, which predominantly consisted of cyclophosphamide combined with steroids. Ten-year cumulative incidence rates were 3% for renal replacement therapy and 10% for death. Partial remission rates were 39%, 70%, and 83% after 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively; complete remission rates were 5%, 24%, and 38% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. A serious adverse event occurred in 23% of all patients. The most notable complications were infections (17%), leukopenia (18%), cardiovascular events (13%), and malignancies (8%). In conclusion, the use of a restrictive treatment strategy in this cohort of patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy yielded favorable outcomes while limiting the number of patients exposed to toxic drugs. These results support current KDIGO guidelines.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Biofeedback with device-guided lowering of breathing frequency could be an alternate nonpharmacologic treatment option for hypertension. Evidence from trials with high methodologic quality is lacking. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of device-guided lowering of breathing frequency on blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension. DESIGN Single-center, double-blind, sham-controlled trial. SETTING A large nonacademic teaching hospital in the Netherlands. PARTICIPANTS Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension. INTERVENTION Fifteen-minute sessions with either the device that guides breathing through musical tones to a lower breathing frequency (aiming at <10 breaths/min) or a sham device (music without aiming at lowering of breathing frequency) for an 8-week study period. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Systolic and diastolic blood pressure measured in the physician's office. RESULTS Forty-eight patients were randomized; 21 patients (88%) in the intervention group and 24 patients (100%) in the control group completed the study. There were no significant changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, with a difference in systolic blood pressure of 2.35 mm Hg (95% CI, -6.50 to 11.20) in favor of the control group and a difference in diastolic blood pressure of 2.25 mm Hg (95% CI, -2.16 to 6.67) in favor of the intervention group. Three patients in the intervention group experienced adverse events. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This high methodologic quality study shows no significant effect of device-guided lowering of breathing frequency on office-measured blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes. On the basis of this study, together with results from all but one previous trial, device-guided lowering of breathing frequency does not appear to be a viable nonpharmacologic option for hypertension treatment.

Abstract
AIM: To monitor the course of continuous intraperitoneal insulin infusion (CIPII) and to gain more insight into possible complications.
METHODS: A retrospective, longitudinal observational cohort study in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) was performed. Only patients with “brittle” T1DM who started CIPII between January 1, 2000 and June 1, 2011, and were treated in the only centre in The Netherlands providing CIPII treatment (Isala clinics, Zwolle) were eligible for inclusion. Outcomes were defined as operation-free period (OFP), rate and type of complications. Subanalyses were made between patients starting CIPII from 2000 to 2007 and from 2007 onwards in order to study possible changes over time in complications and/or OFP. The OFP was calculated as the time from initial implantation to the date of first documented re-operation. If patients had not experienced an operation, their data were recorded at the date of last follow up or death. Kaplan-Meier curves were constructed to visualize the OFP. A (two-sided) P value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
RESULTS: Fifty-seven patients were treated with CIPII, although one patient was excluded from analyses because of self-induced complications. In the remaining 56 patients, 70 complications occurred during 283 patient years. Catheter occlusion (32.9%), pump dysfunction (17.1%), pain at the pump site (15.7%) and infections (10.0%) were the most frequent complications. This resulted in a median OFP of 4.5 years (95% confidence interval 4.1-4.8 years) without any difference between the time periods. Fifty re-operations were performed because of complications, one per 5.6 patient years, with a decrease in pump dysfunction (P = 0.04) and pump explantations (P = 0.02) after 2007. In total, 9 episodes of ketoacidosis occurred during follow up and there were 69 hospital re-admissions, with a median duration of 6 d. CIPII was ceased in five patients due to recurrent infections (n = 2), pain (n = 1), inadequate glycaemic control (n = 1) or by own choice (n = 1). No CIPII related mortality was reported.
CONCLUSION: The OFP has been stable over the last decade. No CIPII related mortality was reported. A significant decrease in pump dysfunction and explantation was seen after 2007 compared to the period 2000-2007. CIPII remains a safe treatment modality for specific patient groups.

Abstract
Two recent meta-analyses focused on the risk-benefit ratio of metformin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Both studies conclude that the risk-benefit ratio of metformin monotherapy or combined with insulin is uncertain. In our opinion, the interpretation of the known literature in these meta-analyses could be flawed. To ascertain the effects of metformin on cardiovascular end-points, a follow-up period of at least 8 years proved necessary. However, these meta-analyses included a number of studies with a limited follow-up period, thus impairing the possibility to make a proper comparison of the long-term effects of metformin. In addition, one meta-analysis based the weight of included studies on the number of events in all studies, including two safety studies, as opposed to the number of studied patients.
