- A meta-analysis of 19 studies (n=1,371,533) found CKD prevalence in T1DM at 22.3%; highest in Americas (27%), lowest in Europe (19.4%)
- Prevalence was higher in adults vs adolescents (20.5% vs 10.5%); with duration ≥10 y vs <10 y (21.8% vs 16.4%); HbA1c ≥8% vs <8% (27.7% vs 17.9%)
- Meta-regression confirmed the link between higher HbA1c & CKD prevalence
- Regular screening is essential to mitigate CKD burden in T1DM.

- This 15-year cohort study of 2,850 participants examined lung function decline and airflow limitation risk among PRISm subtypes by smoking status
- Ever-smokers with PRISm (ES-PRISm) had the fastest decline and highest risk, followed by non-smokers with PRISm (NS-PRISm), compared to normal controls
- Both PRISm groups showed increased COPD risk, indicating PRISm is a potential precursor regardless of smoking history.

- A CHANSE score ≥3 correlated with complicated cases and was similar to PAS cutoff ≥7
