Furthermore, it is not known whether BMI variability has an effect independent of HbA1c variability.\u0000Methods and Results:\u0000We investigated the association between BMI variability and 3P–MACE risk in the Harmony Outcomes trial (n = 9198), and further analysed placebo arms of REWIND (n = 4440) and EMPA–REG OUTCOME (n = 2333) trials, followed by real–world data from the Tayside Bioresource (n = 6980) using Cox regression modelling. BMI variability was determined using average successive variability (ASV), with first major adverse cardiovascular event of non–fatal stroke, non–fatal myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular death (3P-MACE) as the primary outcome.\u0000After adjusting for cardiovascular risk factors, a +1 SD increase in BMI variability was associated with increased 3P–MACE risk in Harmony Outcomes (HR 1.12, 95% CI 1.08 — 1.17, P < 0.001). The most variable quartile of participants experienced an 87% higher risk of 3P-MACE (P <0.001) relative to the least variable. Similar associations were found in REWIND and Tayside Bioresource. Further analyses in the EMPA–REG OUTCOME trial did not replicate this association. BMI variability's impact on 3P–MACE risk was independent of HbA1c variability.\u0000Conclusion: In individuals with type 2 diabetes, increased BMI variability was found to be an independent risk factor for 3P–MACE across cardiovascular outcome trials and real–world datasets. Future research should attempt to establish a causal relationship between BMI variability and cardiovascular outcomes.","PeriodicalId":501419,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Endocrinology","volume":"118 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140153466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early detection allows for timely intervention and improved patient outcomes. Traditional diagnostic methods rely on clinical presentation and antibody testing, lacking a robust risk prediction tool. Objective: To develop a high-precision machine learning (ML) model for predicting the risk of HT development. Method: Data patients were acquired from PubMed. A binary classifier was constructed through data pre-processing, feature selection, and exploration of various ML models. Hyperparameter optimization and performance evaluation metrics (AUC-ROC, AUC-PR, sensitivity, specificity, precision, F1 score) were employed. Results: Out of a total of 9,173 individuals, 400 subjects within this cohort exhibited normal thyroid function, while 436 individuals were diagnosed with HT. The mean patient age was 45 years, and 90% were female. The best performing model achieved an AUC-ROC of 0.87 and AUC-PR of 0.85, indicating high predictive accuracy. Additionally, sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F1 score reached 85%, 90%, 80%, and 83% respectively, demonstrating the model's effectiveness in identifying individuals at risk of HT development. Hyperparameter tuning was optimized using a Random Search approach.\u0000Conclusion: This study demonstrates the feasibility of utilizing ML for accurate prediction of HT risk.

Setting\u0000Medical facilities, including clinics and hospitals, visited by a wide range of populations in Japan that are covered by a commercial administrative claims database, collected from March 4, 2019 to August 31, 2021. Participants\u0000Japanese adults aged ≥40 years who were diagnosed with osteoporosis or experienced a fragility fracture. Those who received romosozumab or bisphosphonates after the commercialization of romosozumab started in Japan (March 4, 2019) were included. Exposure\u0000A new prescription of romosozumab or bisphosphonate (based on verification of a 180-day washout period). Main Outcomes and Measures\u0000The primary outcome was the incidence rate of cardiovascular disease (consisting of myocardial infarction and stroke) within one year of prescription. Cardiovascular disease was identified by algorithms with a combination of diagnosis, medical procedure, and drug codes. Facility-level prescription preference for romosozumab was used as an instrumental variable, defined as the proportion of romosozumab prescribed at the patient's facility within 90 days prior to the index date. Results\u0000Of the 61,558 included prescriptions, 8,806 were for romosozumab and 52,752 were for bisphosphonates. The mean age of the romosozumab group was higher than that of the bisphosphonates group (80.5 vs. 78.3 years, respectively). The majority of patients were female (80.2 vs. 85.3%, respectively). The incidence of cardiovascular disease was 7.98 per 100 person-years for romosozumab versus 7.15 for bisphosphonates (unadjusted incidence rate ratio: 1.12 (95% confidence interval: 1.03-1.21)). An instrumental variable analysis using the two-stage residual inclusion method yielded a hazard ratio of 1.09 (95% confidence interval: 0.79-1.76) for romosozumab compared to bisphosphonates over one year. Conclusions and Relevance\u0000In this large observational study, there was no definitive evidence of increased risk of cardiovascular disease associated with romosozumab use compared with bisphosphonates in patients with osteoporosis. These findings alleviate clinicians' excessive concerns about the potential cardiovascular safety of romosozumab in treatment decision-making for osteoporosis.","PeriodicalId":501419,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Endocrinology","volume":"118 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140153477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prevalence of diabetes among males was similar between PWH and PWOH, overall and at all levels of adiposity. In contrast, overall diabetes prevalence was higher among female PWOH than female PWH.

The program consists of an online patient decision aid, a preparatory consult for patients, and interprofessional training for healthcare professionals. The short- and long-term effectiveness of the multistage shared decision-making program needs to be researched in a trial-based economic evaluation. To evaluate the feasibility of study methods for future economic evaluation, we will conduct a pilot study that focuses on sample recruitment and retention, study management, and feasibility of outcome and cost measurements. Methods and analysis The multistage shared decision-making program will be pilot-tested in a cluster-randomized controlled trial in four primary care practices (located in the region of Gorinchem, the Netherlands) using a mixed-methods approach. The intervention practices will adopt the program, whereas the control practices provide usual care. Data collection will include recruitment, retention, and consent rates, patients’ sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, and the assessment of primary and secondary outcomes of the future trial-based economic evaluation. We will also collect data on the usage behavior of patients when completing questionnaires of the primary and secondary outcomes (i.e. time needed to complete questionnaires). Semi-structured interviews with patients will be conducted to obtain insights into the understandability and usability of measurement tools. Moreover, focus groups with healthcare professionals from participating practices will be organized to complement the quantitative data on sample representativeness and to assess the study management challenges of participating practices. Discussion The pilot will address uncertainties around the feasibility of a future trial-based economic evaluation, focusing on sample recruitment and retention, study management, and the feasibility of outcome and cost measurements.

Here, we investigate how insulin resistance alters signalling responses in skeletal muscle and how this is modified by exercise. We measured parallel phenotypes and phosphoproteomes of insulin resistant and insulin sensitive individuals as they responded to exercise and insulin (n=19, 114 biopsies), quantifying over 12,000 phosphopeptides in each biopsy. Our personalized phosphoproteomics approach revealed that insulin resistant individuals have selective and time-dependent signalling alterations. Insulin resistant subjects have reduced insulin-stimulated mTORC1 responses and alterations to non-canonical rather than canonical insulin signalling. Prior exercise promotes insulin sensitivity even in insulin resistant individuals by priming a portion of insulin signalling prior to insulin infusion. This includes MINDY1 S441, which is elevated in insulin-sensitive subjects and primed by prior exercise. MINDY1 contains a missense variant that is protective for type 2 diabetes but its role in disease risk is unknown. We show that MINDY1 S441 phosphorylation is downstream of AKT, and MINDY1 knockdown enhances insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in rat myotubes. This work delineates the signalling alterations in insulin resistant skeletal muscle and how exercise partially counteracts these and identifies MINDY1 as a regulator of insulin action.","PeriodicalId":501419,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Endocrinology","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140127538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
