Abstract

Despite some progress in reducing the rate of diabetic complications, the epidemic rise in incidence of diabetes mellitus ensures that there will be an increasing number of patients in the coming decades with complex health care management issues who will need efficient and effective care. The management of patients with diabetes is an ever-challenging endeavor attributable to several factors. These include, among others, (1) limited provider expertise, (2) decreasing time of a patient visit, (3) increasing complexity of drug management, (4) limited use of self-monitoring of blood glucose by patients and/or providers, (5) clinical inertia, and (6) nonadherence. Technology-driven innovative solutions, including those using virtual reality, are desperately needed to assist both patients and their providers in overcoming the exigencies of this protean disease.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Factors other than patient behavior-such as adequacy of medical management, diabetes duration, weight gain, comorbid illness, concomitant medication, poverty, access to care, and health insurance coverage-affect diabetes treatment outcomes.

    “Multiple factors other than patient behavior affect diabetes treatment outcomes, including adequacy of medical management, duration of diabetes, weight gain, and other health-related (e.g., comorbid illness and concomitant medication) and social-structural factors (e.g., poverty, access to care, health insurance coverage) (13–16).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
