Mashup Score: 6Gout risk in adults with pre-diabetes initiating metformin - 2 hour(s) ago
Objective Despite the strong association between gout and pre-diabetes, the role of metformin in gout among individuals with pre-diabetes remains uncertain. We compared the incidence rates of gout in adults with pre-diabetes starting metformin with those not using antidiabetic treatments. Methods We conducted a new-user, propensity score-matched cohort study using electronic health records from an academic health system (2007–2022). Pre-diabetes was defined based on haemoglobin A1c levels. Metformin users were identified and followed from the first metformin prescription date. Non-users of antidiabetic medications were matched to metformin users based on propensity score and the start of follow-up. The primary outcome was incident gout. Cox proportional hazards models estimated the HR for metformin. Linear regression analyses assessed the association between metformin use and changes in serum urate (SU) or C-reactive protein (CRP). Results We identified 25 064 individuals with pre-diab

Mashup Score: 10Surgical Technique: Arthroscopic Reduction and Fixation of Partial Posterior Wall Acetabular Fractures - 23 hour(s) ago
Partial posterior wall fractures are usually fixed with open reduction–internal fixation through an open posterolateral approach, but when the fragment may be fixed without a plate (with screws only), reduction and fixation may also be achieved via hip arthroscopy with the patient in the prone position. This article presents all the surgical steps to perform this procedure.
