Youth and their parents were recruited from an ambulatory diabetes program at a tertiary academic pediatric hospital. The hospital serves an urban and rural population of 1.3 million in Eastern Ontario, Canada; the diabetes program provides care for 850 children and youth with T1D. At the time of the study in 2013–2015, MDI was rarely used by children or youth in our centre. Since then, MDI has become the usual insulin delivery method from diagnosis onwards.
We recruited youth and parents who had told either their pediatric endocrinologist or pediatric diabetes physician during their regular diabetes clinic visit that they were considering a change in insulin delivery method, were capable of participating in the decision making process and were scheduled for decision coaching by one of our diabetes social workers which is a step in the process for youth in our clinic who are considering a change in insulin delivery method. To be eligible for this study, youth had to be under 18 years old with type 1 diabetes duration of at least 10 months, and they and their parents had to be able to read and speak English or French. No lower age limit was set for youth participants, as required by our Research Ethics Boards, provided the youth and parent(s) could participate in the consent or assent process. Family dyads (youth and one parent) and family triads (youth and two parents) were included. The study was introduced to youth and parents being scheduled for decision coaching by the administrative assistant for the diabetes team. A research assistant contacted those who expressed interest in the study. This contact was by telephone to assess study eligibility and explain the study in detail. Youth and parents, regardless of the youth’s age, who agreed to participate provided written informed consent, and assent by the youth if necessary, prior to the decision coaching.

The Boards of Directors for the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE), The Obesity Society (TOS), and the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) approved this update of the 2008 AACE, TOS, and ASMBS Medical Guidelines for Clinical Practice for the Perioperative Nutritional, Metabolic, and Nonsurgical Support of the Bariatric Surgery Patient (2008 AACE- TOS-ASMBS CPG; 7). These CPG expired in 2011 per the National Guideline Clearinghouse (http://www.guideline.gov/content.aspx?id=13022&search=bariatric+aace) (29 [EL 4, NE]). Selection of the co-chairs, primary writers, and reviewers, as well as the logistics for creating this evidence based CPG were conducted in strict adherence with the AACE Protocol for Standardized Production of Clinical Practice Guidelines—2010 Update (30 (link) [EL 4, CPG]); Tables 14. This updated CPG methodology has the advantage of greater transparency, diligence, and detail for mapping the strength of evidence and expert opinion into a final graded recommendation. Nevertheless, as with all white papers, there is an element of subjectivity that must be recognized by the reader when interpreting the information.
The Executive Summary is reorganized by clinical questions and provides updated recommendation numbers (R1, R2, R3, … R100) with original recommendation numbers in parentheses, and an appended “-r,” indicating substantive content or grading revision, or “-NEW,” indicating new content. In many cases, recommendations have been condensed for clarity and brevity. In other cases, recommendations have been expanded for more clarity for complex decision making. The relevant evidence base, supporting tables, and figures for the updated recommendations follow the Executive Summary. The reader is encouraged to refer to the 2008 AACE-TOS-ASMBS CPG (7 (link) [EL 4, CPG]) for background material not covered in this update.

A PubMed search (key words: “Beckwith Wiedemann”, “Wiedemann Beckwith” or “EMG syndrome”) yielded more than 1,500 articles. Articles of interest were selected based on the abstracts, considering especially the number of patients included and the description of the molecular mechanisms. Only articles mentioning the molecular mechanisms have been retained. Articles have then reviewed by at least two experts and sorted out into three groups: clinical diagnosis (group 1), molecular diagnosis (group 2) and clinical management (group 3)
The International BWS Consensus Group comprised 41 participants from 36 institutions across 11 countries, predominantly based in Europe, including clinicians, clinical and research scientists and patient group representatives with expertise in different aspects of BWS (clinical and molecular geneticists, paediatric endocrinologists, oncologists, orthopaedists, oro-facial surgeons and nephrologists).. A modified Delphi consensus process was adopted3 (link). Discussions took place via conference calls, email communications and file exchanges. Two face-to-face meetings were held; a preliminary meeting of 11 participants (including one patient group representative) in February 2016 to identify the key issues to be addressed by the consensus group, and a plenary 3-day meeting involving 35 participants (including two patient group representatives) in March 2017. During this plenary meeting, experts participated in one of the three subgroups (clinical/molecular/management), based on their field of expertise, discussed the draft consensus documents, formulated and voted on the consensus recommendations (BOX 1). This Consensus Statement summarises the outcome of these discussions and is divided into three subject areas; clinical aspects, molecular aspects and care and management.

We then began an iterative process to distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes within the population of patients flagged by the general diabetes algorithm in Table 1. We started with a “straw man” algorithm designed to coarsely divide the population into pools of patients more likely to have type 1 and patients more likely to have type 2. We began with this preliminary algorithm in order to make chart reviews more efficient: type 1 diabetes is so rare compared with type 2 diabetes that random sampling of unselected patients yields very few type 1 cases. The straw man algorithm allowed us to enrich a study population with type 1 diabetes. A case of type 1 was defined as any patient with ICD-9 250.x1 or 250.x3 on two or more occasions, a current prescription for insulin, and no prescriptions for oral hypoglycemics at any time. A case of type 2 was defined as any patient with ICD-9 250.x0 or 250.x2 on two or more occasions or a prescription for an oral hypoglycemic at any time.
We randomly selected 210 charts classified by the straw man algorithm for review: 70 patients classified as type 1, 60 classified as type 2, and 80 left unclassified by the straw man algorithm. Charts were reviewed for diabetes using ADA diagnostic criteria and for diabetes type (8 (link)). We used the following rules to assign “true” diabetes type (applied sequentially): endocrinologist diagnosis if available, never on insulin (classify as type 2), C-peptide negative or diabetes autoantibodies present (classify as type 1), currently on insulin but prior history of prolonged treatment with oral hypoglycemic alone (classify as type 2), and nonendocrinologist physician diagnosis.
We then created a series of candidate algorithms based on ICD-9 code frequencies, laboratory test results, and suggestive prescriptions to optimize sensitivity for chart-confirmed type 1 diabetes while maintaining high positive predictive values. Patients who did not fulfill algorithm criteria for type 1 diabetes were presumptively classified as type 2. The study endocrinologist (E.E.) and internist (M.K.) created the candidate algorithms based on clinical knowledge of diabetes management practices.
We calculated the sensitivity and positive predictive value of all candidate algorithms using inverse-probability weighting to correct for the sampling strategy. We generated 95% CIs for these estimates using Monte Carlo simulations. Specifically, we simulated the number of true type 1 and type 2 patients among reviewed charts for each sampling strata (straw man type 1, straw man type 2, and straw man unclassified) using multinomial distributions and probabilities estimated from the observed data. We repeated this process 1 million times and derived 95% CIs from the resulting 2.5 and 97.5 percentiles. Calculations were executed using SAS version 9.3 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC).
We then created a final algorithm with optimized sensitivity and positive predictive value for type 1 diabetes by combining the candidate algorithms with the highest positive predictive values using “or” statements. We focused the optimized algorithm on sensitivity to type 1 diabetes because even slight misclassification of type 1 patients as type 2 is substantially magnified after weighting for the greater size of the type 2 population and therefore exerts considerable cost in net sensitivity for type 1.

Two hundred and ten individuals were willing to join this study (May 10, 2021, to July 1, 2022). The exclusion criteria for the two groups were as follows: type 1 diabetes mellitus, impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance58 (link), hypertension, hypoglycemia (blood sugar levels < 3.9 mmol/L), hyperlipidemia, serious eye diseases (e.g., blindness), symptoms of neurological conditions (e.g., cerebral infarction or hemorrhage), history of neurological abnormality (e.g., Parkinson’s disease), severe head injuries or chronic head discomfort (e.g., migraine), BMI > 31 kg/m2, left- or mixed-handedness, substance (tobacco, alcohol, or psychoactive drug) abuse, taking medications that may affect cognition and memory within 6 months, specific abnormalities detected on conventional MRI scans or any other factors that may influence brain structure or function (e.g., extreme physical weakness, chronic infections, and other endocrine diseases). Patients with T2DM were diagnosed by two experienced endocrinologists following international clinical standards59 . MCI was evaluated via Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and MoCA-B (21 ≤ MoCA-B score < 26, and MMSE score > 24 were diagnosed with MCI)60 ,61 (link).
Participants with brain tumors (n = 3), neuropsychiatric diseases (n = 4) (e.g., major depression or schizophrenia), or developmental disorders (n = 4) were excluded. Finally, 37 patients with T2DM-MCI, 93 patients with T2DM-NCI, and 69 NC were enrolled in this study. The source of patients with T2DM and NC corresponded with our previous study37 (link). This study was approved by the ethics committee of The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine (ID: NO. JY [2020] 288). Written informed consent was obtained from all participants. In addition, the study was conducted following approved guidelines.

The diagnosis of anal fistula is based on the German S3 guidelines: anal abscess and fistula (23 (link)). All patients were diagnosed with anal fistula by anal finger examination, anoscope examination, radiographic examination (including rectal endoluminal ultrasound, pelvic CT, or MRI), or intraoperative probe/methylene blue staining, and the number of internal orifices was counted by these techniques. The diagnostic criteria for T2DM were based on the latest Chinese guidelines for the prevention and treatment of T2DM set by the Chinese Diabetes Society (24 (link), 25 (link)). And the diagnosis was assigned by an endocrinologist. Relevant data were collected on the cases, including demographic characteristics, clinical features, laboratory and ancillary tests at admission, anal fistula-related information (e.g., previous surgical history, anal fistula types, number of internal orifices, etc.), pre- and post-surgical treatments, and surgical modalities. Non-healing (refractory) group refers to trauma that cannot be repaired in time with conventional therapy or wounds that can not achieve functional recovery and anatomical integrity (26 (link)). The last routine dressing change time in the outpatient clinic was collected as the outcome indicator. Judged by the specialist anorectologist and the definition of the relevant literature, patients were divided into the non-healing (refractory) group or healing group according to whether its recovery period is longer than 35 days (27 (link)–29 (link)).
Among the underlying diseases, hypertensive disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases are listed independently. Chronic cardiovascular diseases included coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and lacunar cerebral infarction. Chronic lung diseases included tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic pulmonary heart disease. Chronic liver diseases included chronic viral hepatitis B, cirrhosis of the liver, hepatic hemangioma, etc.

The structured pre-coded questionnaire was built in Arabic language by an expert endocrine researcher. The questionnaire was available in both a paper form and an electronic Google form. The latter was used whenever possible; this was achieved either by sending the QR code through social media or through its direct scanning. The questionnaire was pilot tested through initial enrollment of 100 subjects and then revised by the endocrinologist, dietician, and a statistician member of the research team.
The first section of the questionnaire consisted of questions concerning sociodemographic data (age and marital status), smoking, menstrual and obstetric history, history of osteoporosis or fractures, vitamin D deficiency or previous intake of vitamin D and/or calcium, and family history of osteoporosis and/or fractures.
The second section included the type and frequency of different physical activities (including walking, running, using the stairs, home activities, cycling, moderate- and high-intensity sports, and self-defense and body-building sports). This section also asked about the time spent sitting or lying down while socializing, watching TV, or using smartphones or computers.
The third section was concerned with food consumption questions for dairy products. Participants gave the frequency of their daily intake of milk, yogurt, and/or natural or processed cheese. Less than three daily servings of dairy products were considered a low intake (as per the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee).8

A broad sample of health facilities, patients and health workers was purposively recruited to capture maximum variation of the phenomenon under study [42 ]. Participating health facilities involved three public hospitals (one primary, one tertiary and one specialized teaching hospitals), one private general hospital and two private specialized clinics that provide long-term NCDs care.
Nineteen patient participants with two or more chronic NCDs were purposively selected with the aim to satisfy maximum variation sampling method based on the nature of chronic conditions the patients are living with, sex, age and residence (Table 1). For the service providers, six medical doctors (2 GPs, 1 internist, 1 cardiologist, 1 endocrinologist and 1 internal medicine resident) and three nurses working in chronic outpatient care departments were recruited. The two sub-specialists (cardiologist and endocrinologist) and one nurse were working in both public and private health facilities, while the rest were working in public hospitals only.
