[PMID: 38600468 PMCID: PMC11008048 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-024-03563-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to establish and validate a nomogram model for the all-cause mortality rate in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). METHODS We analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning from 2007 to 2016. A random split of 7:3 was performed between the training and validation sets. Utilizing follow-up data until December 31, 2019, we examined the all-cause mortality rate. Cox regression models and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression models were employed in the training cohort to develop a nomogram for predicting all-cause mortality in the studied population. Finally, various validation methods were employed to assess the predictive performance of the nomogram, and Decision Curve Analysis (DCA) was conducted to evaluate the clinical utility of the nomogram. RESULTS After the results of LASSO regression models and Cox multivariate analyses, a total of 8 variables were selected, gender, age, poverty income ratio, heart failure, body mass index, albumin, blood urea nitrogen and serum uric acid. A nomogram model was built based on these predictors. The C-index values in training cohort of 3-year, 5-year, 10-year mortality rates were 0.820, 0.807, and 0.798. In the validation cohort, the C-index values of 3-year, 5-year, 10-year mortality rates were 0.773, 0.788, and 0.817, respectively. The calibration curve demonstrates satisfactory consistency between the two cohorts. CONCLUSION The newly developed nomogram proves to be effective in predicting the all-cause mortality risk in patients with diabetic nephropathy, and it has undergone robust internal validation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Precision medicine has the potential to improve cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction in individuals with Type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies to identify potentially novel prognostic factors that may improve CVD risk prediction in T2D. Out of 9380 studies identified, 416 studies met inclusion criteria. Outcomes were reported for 321 biomarker studies, 48 genetic marker studies, and 47 risk score/model studies. RESULTS Out of all evaluated biomarkers, only 13 showed improvement in prediction performance. Results of pooled meta-analyses, non-pooled analyses, and assessments of improvement in prediction performance and risk of bias, yielded the highest predictive utility for N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) (high-evidence), troponin-T (TnT) (moderate-evidence), triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index (moderate-evidence), Genetic Risk Score for Coronary Heart Disease (GRS-CHD) (moderate-evidence); moderate predictive utility for coronary computed tomography angiography (low-evidence), single-photon emission computed tomography (low-evidence), pulse wave velocity (moderate-evidence); and low predictive utility for C-reactive protein (moderate-evidence), coronary artery calcium score (low-evidence), galectin-3 (low-evidence), troponin-I (low-evidence), carotid plaque (low-evidence), and growth differentiation factor-15 (low-evidence). Risk scores showed modest discrimination, with lower performance in populations different from the original development cohort. CONCLUSIONS Despite high interest in this topic, very few studies conducted rigorous analyses to demonstrate incremental predictive utility beyond established CVD risk factors for T2D. The most promising markers identified were NT-proBNP, TnT, TyG and GRS-CHD, with the highest strength of evidence for NT-proBNP. Further research is needed to determine their clinical utility in risk stratification and management of CVD in T2D.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes often places a large burden on people with diabetes (hereafter 'patients') and the society, that is, in part attributable to its complications. However, evidence from models predicting diabetes complications in patients remains unclear. With the collaboration of patient partners, we aimed to describe existing prediction models of physical and mental health complications of diabetes. METHODS Building on existing frameworks, we systematically searched for studies in Ovid-Medline and Embase. We included studies describing prognostic prediction models that used data from patients with pre-diabetes or any type of diabetes, published between 2000 and 2020. Independent reviewers screened articles, extracted data and narratively synthesised findings using established reporting standards. RESULTS Overall, 78 studies reported 260 risk prediction models of cardiovascular complications (n=42 studies), mortality (n=16), kidney complications (n=14), eye complications (n=10), hypoglycaemia (n=8), nerve complications (n=3), cancer (n=2), fracture (n=2) and dementia (n=1). Prevalent complications deemed important by patients such as amputation and mental health were poorly or not at all represented. Studies primarily analysed data from older people with type 2 diabetes (n=54), with little focus on pre-diabetes (n=0), type 1 diabetes (n=8), younger (n=1) and racialised people (n=10). Per complication, predictors vary substantially between models. Studies with details of calibration and discrimination mostly exhibited good model performance. CONCLUSION This rigorous knowledge synthesis provides evidence of gaps in the landscape of diabetes complication prediction models. Future studies should address unmet needs for analyses of complications n> and among patient groups currently under-represented in the literature and should consistently report relevant statistics.

Establishment and validation of a clinical model for predicting diabetic ketosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:967929.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic ketosis (DK) is one of the leading causes of hospitalization among patients with diabetes. Failure to recognize DK symptoms may lead to complications, such as diabetic ketoacidosis, severe neurological morbidity, and death. PURPOSE This study aimed to develop and validate a model to predict DK in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) based on both clinical and biochemical characteristics. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted by evaluating the records of 3,126 patients with T2DM, with or without DK, at The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2015 to May 2022. The patients were divided randomly into the model development (70%) or validation (30%) cohorts. A risk prediction model was constructed using a stepwise logistic regression analysis to assess the risk of DK in the model development cohort. This model was then validated using a second cohort of patients. RESULTS The stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for DK in patients with T2DM were the 2-h postprandial C-peptide (2hCP) level, age, free fatty acids (FFA), and HbA1c. Based on these factors, we constructed a risk prediction model. The final risk prediction model was L= (0.472a - 0.202b - 0.078c + 0.005d - 4.299), where a = HbA1c level, b = 2hCP, c = age, and d = FFA. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.917 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.899-0.934; p<0.001). The discriminatory ability of the model was equivalent in the validation cohort (AUC, 0.922; 95% CI, 0.898-0.946; p<0.001). CONCLUSION This study identified independent risk factors for DK in patients with T2DM and constructed a prediction model based on these factors. The present findings provide an easy-to-use, easily interpretable, and accessible clinical tool for predicting DK in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Emerging evidence has shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) play critical role in the pathogenesis of several disorders. In the present minireview, we focus our attention on the functional role of a specific miRNA, namely miR-34a, in the pathophysiology of frailty and diabetes mellitus. Based on the current literature, we speculate that this miRNA may serve as a potential biomarker of frailty in diabetic older adults. Additionally, its actions on oxidative stress might represent a druggable target to obtain new potentials treatments.
