- Hip/vertebral fracture risk was increased in patients on higher GC doses and longer prescription days in the initial 90 days of GC therapy
- Significantly increased fracture risk was reported in patients receiving GC > 5 mg PSL/day in the stratum of 30–59 days of GC prescription
- Female patients who received GC (≥ 1 and < 2.5 mg PSL/day) for 90 days had a significantly increased fracture risk

In a recent study involving 4,000 adults, individuals with moderate to high cardiovascular health showcased a notable reduction of 39% and 56%, respectively, in the likelihood of developing retinopathy compared to those with lower cardiovascular health. Further analysis uncovered a non-linear relationship between CVH and retinopathy, with blood glucose and BP emerging as key factors influencing retinopathy risk.

Revealing a startling reality, a recent study uncovered a noteworthy 38.36% prevalence of malnutrition among hospitalized DFU patients. Malnourished DFU patients faced a threefold likelihood of enduring prolonged hospital stays vs. their well-nourished counterparts. The study pinpointed several key risk factors, including low BMI, decreased albumin levels, high HbA1c, ulcer infections & and low ankle-brachial index.

A new study highlighted the prognostic value of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) changes over time in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Over 4.4 years, patients progressing to LSM ≥10 kPa had a 4-fold increase in liver-related events (LRE), including liver death, transplant & HCC, while regressors had a 75% reduction in LRE risk. These findings position LSM as a non-invasive indicator for NAFLD outcomes.
