Our aims were to identify clinical differences between patients who relapsed vs those who attained remission and to describe the relapse rate of GD after ATD withdrawal.Methods: We analyzed patients with the first episode of GD who were treated with ATDs during 2010 - 2020, in...

Background: In bariatric surgery (BS) patients, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and fibrosis are present in up to 90% and 24%, respectively.

We aimed to determine whether established liver fibrosis scores were accurate in predicting fibrosis in MO subjects.Material and Methods: Cross-sectional analysis in a cohort of MO patients underg...

IntroductionGlucose and weight control effectiveness in patients with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) in treatment with DPP4 inhibitors (DPP4i) that switch to semaglutide is scarce. We aim to assess it in a real-world setting of DPP4i-experienced patients and compare it to DPP4i-naive patients.MethodsPatients with T2D that were prescribed Once-Weekly semaglutide in 4 hospitals in Madrid-Spain were identified. Patients ...
