Continuous glucose monitoring use and glucose variability in very young children with type 1 diabetes (VibRate): A multinational prospective observat…
2021
While data on the efficacy and safety of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) exist across a broad age spectrum, it is limited in very young children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). We aimed to assess real-world data in this high-risk population, focusing on glycemic variability and metrics beyond HbA1c. A 12-month multi-national, prospective, observational, registry-based cohort study in children with T1D aged 1-7 years compared glucose control using real-time CGM and using fingerstick blood glucose monitoring (BGM) alone. The prespecified primary endpoint was a difference in coefficient of variation (CV) between the CGM users and BGM-only cohort. Among 227 individuals using insulin pumps (42% …

Point‐of‐care HCV RNA testing in the setting of DAA therapy: HCV‐FiS (HEpatitis C Virus Fingerstick Study)
2019
HCV-RNA assessment during therapy with Direct-Acting Antiviral (DAA) regimens still relies on assays requiring blood collection and transport to a specialised laboratory, which may compromise linkage to care. GeneXpert-HCV Viral Load (GXHVL) (Cepheid) is a plasma-based assay used at point of care (POC) with a sensitivity of ≤10 IU/mL, and, results available within 2 hours. Fifty-nine consecutive HCV-patients ready for DAAs treatment were enrolled. HCV-RNA was simultaneously tested using Roche TaqMan RT-PCR (venous blood sample) and GXHVL (capillary blood collected by fingerstick), at baseline (BL), week 4 (W4) of therapy, end of therapy (EOT) and week 12 of follow-up (W12FU). Both assays de…
