Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the predictive factors associated with physical impairment among older patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Japan and to examine the potential impact of physical impairment on patient-reported health outcomes in this population. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using patient-reported data from the 2012-2014 Japan National Health and Wellness Survey. Physical impairment was measured using the Physical Component Summary (PCS) score of the Short-Form 36-Item Health Survey (SF-36) three-component model (using Japanese norms). Older T2DM patients (≥65 years old; n = 1511) were dichotomized into physically impaired (PCS ≤ 25th percentile; n = 378) and non-physically impaired (PCS > 25th percentile; n = 1133). Work productivity (absenteeism, presenteeism and overall work impairment), activity impairment and healthcare resource utilization were compared between these groups. RESULTS Age, female sex, low and high body mass index (BMI), diabetes-related complications, cardiovascular events, unawareness of having hypoglycemic events in the past 3 months, and lack of regular exercise were significant factors associated with physical impairment in multivariable analysis. The physically impaired group reported significantly more regular outpatient visits (13.48 vs. 10.16, respectively, p < .001), 1% or greater absenteeism (16.7% vs. 4.1%, p = .005), greater presenteeism (27.8% vs. 12.2%, p = .001), overall work impairment (30.0% vs. 13.0%, p = .001) and overall activity impairment (39.5% vs. 17.2%, p < .001) than the non-physically-impaired group after adjusting for covariates. CONCLUSIONS This study identified age, BMI, diabetes-related comorbidities, history of cardiovascular events and lack of exercise as key predictors associated with physical impairment in older patients with T2DM in Japan, which predicted low work productivity as well as activity impairment. This study provides support that physical impairment in patients with T2DM may lead to low work productivity and activity impairment.

[PMID: 31876037 DOI: 10.1111/jocn.15154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2019] [Revised: 10/25/2019] [Accepted: 11/19/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
AIM AND OBJECTIVES To investigate factors related to self-management and predictors of self-management in older adult patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy. BACKGROUND Diabetic patients suffer many comorbidities during their lifetime, and the process of self-management is complex. Self-management and an integrated care experience are extremely important for older adults with diabetic nephropathy. DESIGN A cross-sectional correlation design was adopted. METHODS A total of 123 older patients were enrolled in the study from June 2016 to November 2017. Data collection involved a demographic questionnaire, the Patients' Experience of Integrated Care Questionnaire and the Partners in Health Scale to measure the integrated care experience and self-management. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, independent t tests, Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple linear regression. The methods are consistent with the STROBE criteria (Data S1). RESULTS The results showed that the majority of the sample was female (56.9%). The average age was 77 years old. Stepwise regression analysis showed that re-admission during the past year (p < .001), physical function (p < .001) and integrated care experience (p < .001) are predictors of self-management in older adult patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy and explained 42.8% of the variation in self-management behaviour. CONCLUSION The results can be used to enhance the awareness of clinicians of the importance of an integrated care experience and self-management among older patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy. Clinicians also should pay attention to physical function and the integrated care experience to promote self-management. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Studies on the integrated care experience and self-management of diabetic neuropathy in older adults are limited in Taiwan. The results of this study provide valuable information to support the importance of integrated care among this specific population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory disease are noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) that cause extensive social and economic burden worldwide, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries. There is growing recognition of the importance of the disabilities that individuals experience as a consequence of these NCDs. OBJECTIVES This systematic review examined the prevalence of disabilities associated with cancer, CVD, chronic respiratory disease and diabetes. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CIRRIE, WHO database, LILACS and AIM. Studies were included if their samples were representative of people with at least one of these four conditions and if prevalence estimates of disability were provided. As random sampling was not feasible in the majority of cases, studies were included where they offered evidence that their sample was representative of the general population being investigated. RESULTS A total of 105 articles were included in the review. Most studies were conducted in high-income countries. The prevalence of difficulties with activities of daily living (i.e. eating, bathing, dressing) was reported to be 10.4-34.5% amongst cancer survivors, 21.1-64.1% in those with CVD, 7.4-49.8% in those with chronic respiratory disease and 12.2-54.5% for those with diabetes. The prevalence of a range of other physical, cognitive and psychological impairments (systemic or structural) was additionally described for each disease. CONCLUSION Substantial proportions of people with cancer, CVD, chronic respiratory disease or diabetes experience some form of disability - although there was great variance in prevalence and definitions. The findings of this review support the evidence base of global impact associated with NCD, indicate frequency measures for specific disabilities and inabilities associated with each NCD and provide direction for future systematic reviews.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We aimed to review and summarize the evidence from accomplished trials analyzing factors influencing mortality in patients with T2DM and to provide some recommendations for targets and treatment in the European region. The following databases were searched for relevant trials: PubMed and the Cochrane Library. Of 3.806 citations, 134 trials met our inclusion criteria. RESULTS The reduction in lifetime for 65 + -years-old patients having less than 10 years T2DM amounts to 1.8 years. Having T2DM for more than 10 years lifetime will be reduced by 2.7 years. However, the lifetime shortening factor of T2DM will even be stronger for 40 + -years-old patients at onset. Males will lose 11.6 years of life and 18.6 QUALYs. T2DM among females will reduce life by 14 QUALYs by 22 years. From a statistical point of view, the highest mortality rate will occur in an over 55-years-old European smoking and non-compliant diabetic woman with alcohol abuse living in a rural area with a low level of education and a low socio-economic status. Furthermore, other co-morbidities such as cardiovascular diseases, gout, and depression affect mortality. Additionally, mortality will increase with a BMI over 35 and also with a BMI under 20-25. This refers to the obesity paradox indicating a higher mortality rate among normal weight patients with T2DM compared to overweight patients with T2DM. HbA1c-levels between 6.5 % and 7 % are associated with the lowest impact on mortality.

Abstract
Peripheral vascular disease is a common complication of type 2 diabetes and is often more severe and diffuse than in non-diabetic individuals with a higher risk of major amputations in the lower limbs. Diabetic foot revascularisation using both traditional bypass surgery and endovascular therapy are often burdened by the failure and the inevitable subsequent massive amputation. In this study, we examined the clinical response of diabetic patients with critical limb ischaemia and extended ischaemic wounds, treated with a new angiosome-based revascularisation technique. In a 3-year period, nine diabetic patients with imminent amputation threatening and foot ulcers with no feasible arterial revascularisation options were treated by the angiosome-based surgical technique by means of deep vein arterialisation. The postoperative tcPO2 evaluation showed a mean increase in the cutaneous oxygen tension in all patients treated. The overall survival rates were 88·88%, 88·88% and 77·77% at 12, 24 and 36 months, respectively. Limb salvage was 100% at 1 year and steady at 88·88% thereafter. Surgical deep venous arterialisation might be considered as an extreme alternative to attempt tissue preservation in limbs unfit for conventional arterial revascularisations. This technique would give advantages to the patients in terms of better compliance to the minor amputations and thus avoiding major limb amputations.
