EMERGE: Evaluating the value of Measuring Random Plasma Glucose Values for Managing Hyperglycemia in the Inpatient Setting.
A diagnosis of diabetes is considered when a patient has hyperglycemia with a random plasma glucose ≥200 mg/dL. However, in the inpatient setting, hyperglycemia is frequently non-specific, especially among patients who are acutely unwell. As a result, patients with transient hyperglycemia may be incorrectly labeled as having diabetes, leading to unnecessary treatment, and potential harm. ⋯ Hyperglycemia in hospital is common but does not necessarily indicate a patient has diabetes. Furthermore, it can lead to treatment with diabetes medications with potential harm. Our findings highlight that clinicians should be cautious when responding to elevated random plasma glucose tests in the inpatient setting.

Deep Learning for Fully Automated Prediction of Overall Survival in Patients Undergoing Resection for Pancreatic Cancer: A Retrospective Multicenter Study.
To develop an imaging-derived biomarker for prediction of overall survival (OS) of pancreatic cancer by analyzing preoperative multiphase contrast-enhanced computed topography (CECT) using deep learning. ⋯ Deep learning-based CT imaging-derived biomarker enabled the objective and unbiased OS prediction for patients with resectable PDAC. This marker is applicable across hospitals, imaging protocols, and treatments, and has the potential to tailor neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatments at the individual level.

Multicenter StudyAge-differences of patients treated with wearable cardioverter defibrillator: data from a multicenter Registry.
Wearable cardioverter defibrillators (WCD) are used as a 'bridging' technology in patients, who are temporarily at high risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD). Several factors should be taken into consideration, for example patient selection, compliance and optimal drug treatment, when WCD is prescribed. We aimed to present real-world data from seven centres from Germany and Switzerland according to age differences regarding the outcome, prognosis, WCD data and compliance. ⋯ Although the compliance rate in different age groups is high, the average wear hours tended to be lower in young patients compared to older patients. The clinical events were similar in younger patients compared to older patients.
