“…The prevalence of diabetes in Saudi Arabia is now one of the highest in the world with a substantially high prevalence of type 2 DM reaching as high as 34.1% in males and 27.6% in females which represents one of the major health problems encountered by physicians. [ 13 ] Skin disorders among Saudi patients with DM are alarmingly high and patients commonly suffer from a wide variety of cutaneous disorders. [ 14 ] One study demonstrated that out of the 320 patients who were included in the study, 292 (91.2%) had skin manifestations.…”

“…This finding was similar to a previous study investigating physicians' awareness of DM guidelines in Saudi Arabia (71.3%). 27 Our results, combined with the findings of Amin et al (2016), indicated that casual awareness of the CPGs does not guarantee understanding and adherence. 28,43 Interestingly, we found that adherence was affected by guideline awareness, and participants who were aware of the CPG had higher adherence rates than those who were not.…”

Introduction Variations in clinical practice regarding the management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) among clinicians have been noted in previous studies. Such variations might be related to the different adherence to clinical practice guidelines. Objective To evaluate clinicians' adherence to BPPV guidelines and investigate the variations in the adherence between different specialties and qualifications. Methods This is a cross-sectional study with a vignettes-based survey conducted between June and August, 2020. We included clinicians engaged in managing BPPV that had at least one year of clinical experience. We excluded students, and clinicians who were not involved in the management of individuals with BPPV. Participants were asked to make their management choices based on four hypothetical patient vignettes. The sample ranged from 77 participants for the first vignette to 45 participants for the last vignette. Results We included 77 clinicians in the study, with the majority being Otolaryngologists (31.2%). The respondents' mean adherence to the guideline was of 63.3%. Result showed that Otolaryngologists' adherence was higher than that of clinicians from different specialties (p = 0.006, d = 0.72). Furthermore, clinicians with a postgraduate degree were more likely to adhere than those with a bachelor's degree only (p = 0.014, d = 0.58) and participants who were aware of the guideline were more likely to adhere to it (p < 0.001, d = 1.05). Lastly, regression analysis exhibited that adherence was affected by postgraduate degree and guideline awareness. Conclusion Otolaryngologists were more likely to adhere to the guideline than other specialties. Among all specialties, higher adherence was associated with guideline awareness and postgraduate degrees.

The advent of incretin mimetics such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) has enriched the armamentarium for diabetes management owing to their glycaemic as well as extra-glycaemic benefits. The approval status and availability of this class of drugs vary widely across the globe. Being a relatively newer class of drug with numerous benefits, several national and international guidelines are working towards addressing clinical questions pertaining to the optimal use of GLP-1 RAs for the management of diabetes. Although the newer class of drugs are associated with significant benefits such as patient-centric approach, these drugs demand the providers to be vigilant and knowledgeable about the medication. The South Asian population is at higher risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) because of their genetic predisposition and lifestyle changes. Hence, prevention and management of T2DM and its associated complications in this population are of paramount importance. The current report aims to present an overview of Enhanced Digital Features To view enhanced digital features for this article go to https://doi.org/10.6084/ m9.figshare.8850866.
