The top ten contributors to health loss were stroke, neonatal encephalopathy, migraine, dementia, diabetic neuropathy, meningitis, epilepsy, complications from preterm birth, autism spectrum disorder, and nervous system cancers.

Maintaining glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels within the recommended target range in elderly T2DM patients with cognitive impairment resulted in a mortality risk that was similar to their non-diabetic counterparts. Deviations above or below the target range significantly increased the risk of death, suggesting that adherence to recommended target ranges improved survival in this patient population.

- Completing the full TB preventive therapy (TPT) regimen resulted in a significantly lower TB incidence rate (1.1/1000 PY) compared to those who didn't finish (2.9/1000 PY; IRR= 2.7)
- Risk of TB was higher within 28 months after starting TPT (3.5/1000 PY) compared to the period between 28 and 143 months (1.1/1000 PY) suggesting a waning but persistent protective effect of TPT over time

- Intensive treatment reduced risk of microvascular complications in T2DM patients, but the same increased in those with high HbA1c variability
- Standard treatment increased the risk in those with lower HbA1c variability (except nephropathy)
- For instance, in those with lowest HbA1c variability intensive treatment reduced the retinopathy risk by 35%, but increased it by 28% in those with higher HbA1c variability
