Insulin for early glycaemic abnormality in children with cystic fibrosis without cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CF-IDEA): a randomised controlled trial
BACKGROUND: People with cystic fibrosis can have impaired insulin secretion and hyperglycaemia before meeting the diagnostic criteria for cystic fibrosis-related diabetes during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Insulin therapy given to such patients was associated with improved weight and lung function in several small, uncontrolled trials but might increase treatment burden and cause hypoglycaemia.… →

Cost-consequence analysis of an e-health intervention to reduce distress in dementia carers: results from the iSupport randomised controlled trial
CONCLUSION: Use of iSupport was associated with reduced health and social care resource use costs for carers compared with care-as-usual. Self-guided e-health interventions for dementia carers may have the potential to reduce health and social care resource use and wider societal costs, but evidence relating to their effectiveness and cost-effectiveness is lacking. →
