Abstract
Background Type II diabetes (T2D), is a serious health issue accounting for 10.7% of mortality globally. 80% of cases worldwide are found in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), with rapidly increasing prevalence. Diabetes-self management education (DSME) is a cost-effective program that provides at-risk individuals with the knowledge and skills they need to adopt lifestyle changes that will improve their health and well-being. This systematic review examined the application of DSME in LMICs and identified the corresponding implementation results (cost, fidelity, acceptance, and adoption) associated with successful implementation in low-resource settings. Methods and analysis The available research on T2D and the use of DSME in LMIC were systematically searched for using six electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Science, Google Scholar, PAIS, and EBSCO Discovery) between the months of October and November of 2022. The articles that met the search criteria were subsequently imported into EndNote and Covidence for analysis. The Cochrane RoB methodology for randomized trials was used to evaluate the risk of bias (RoB) in the included studies. A narrative synthesis was used to summarize the results. Results A total of 773 studies were imported for screening, after 203 duplicates were removed, 570 remained. Abstract and title screenings resulted in the exclusion of 487 articles, leaving 83 for full-text review. Following a full-text review, 76 articles were excluded and seven were found to be relevant to our search. The most common reasons for exclusion were study design (n = 23), lack of results (n = 14), and wrong patient population (n = 12). Conclusion Our systemic review found that DSME can be an acceptable and cost-effective solution in LMIC. While we intended to analyze cost, adoption, acceptability, and fidelity, our investigation revealed a gap in the literature on those areas, with most studies focusing on acceptability and cost and no studies identifying fidelity or adoption. To further evaluate the efficacy of DSME and enhance health outcomes for T2D in LMICs, more research is needed on its application. Systematic Review Registration osf.io/7482t.

Abstract
138 Background: GA evaluates aging-related domains (e.g., function) known to be associated with cancer treatment toxicity. We found that providing a GA summary with management recommendations to oncologists reduces clinician-rated toxicity in older patients with advanced cancer receiving high risk treatment (presented at ASCO2020). Herein, we report on the effects of the GA intervention on symptomatic toxicities measured by Patient-Reported Outcomes Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [PRO-CTCAE]. Methods: In the national cluster randomized clinical trial eligible patients (n=718) had age>70, advanced solid tumors or lymphoma, 1+ GA impairment, and were initiating a new treatment regimen with high risk of toxicity. Severity grade of 24 PRO-CTCAE items was collected on a 0-4 scale at enrollment, 4-6 weeks, 3, and 6 months. Of 24 items, 11 (e.g. fatigue, dyspnea) were classified as core (Reeve 2014). Baseline adjusted method (Basch 2016) was used to determine symptomatic toxicities: if the severity of any item increased after baseline to grade 2 or higher, the patient was classified as experiencing grade ≥2 event (similarly for grade ≥ 3 events). The effects of GA intervention on symptomatic toxicities were assessed using generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) with random effect for the practice cluster. Results: Mean age was 77 years (range 70-96); 43% female, 87% white; 34% had gastrointestinal and 25% had lung cancer; 27% received prior chemotherapy. 710 patients provided PRO-CTCAE data (366 usual care, 344 intervention), 85.6% reported grade ≥2 and 49.4% grade ≥3 events at baseline. After baseline, compared to usual care, patients in the GA intervention arm reported fewer grade ≥2 overall symptomatic toxicities (76.5% vs. 84.7%) and fewer core symptomatic toxicities (grade ≥2: 71.8% vs. 82.0%; grade ≥3: 46.2% vs. 53.6%). Specifically, less dyspnea and less fatigue was reported in GA-arm (Table). Conclusions: GA intervention resulted in fewer symptomatic toxicities as evaluated by PRO-CTCAE.
