- AIMS: The MiniMed™ 670G system has been available in Europe since October 2018. Herein, the system's real-world performance in individuals with diabetes is evaluated.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data uploaded October 2018 to July 2020 by individuals living in Europe were aggregated and retrospectively analyzed. The mean Glucose Management Indicator (GMI), percentage of time spent within (TIR), below (TBR) and above (TAR) glycemic ranges, system use and insulin consumed in users with ≥10 days of SG data after initial Auto Mode start were determined. Another analysis based on suboptimally- (GMI >8.0%) and well-controlled (GMI <7.0%) glycemia pre-Auto Mode initiation was also performed.RESULTS: Users (N=14,899) spent a mean of 81.4% of the time in Auto Mode and achieved a mean GMI of 7.0±0.4%, TIR of 72.0±9.7%, TBR <3.9 mmol/L of 2.4±2.1% and TAR >10 mmol/L of 25.7±10%, after initiating Auto Mode. When compared to pre-Auto Mode initiation, GMI reduced by 0.3±0.4% and TIR increased by 9.6±9.9% (p<0.0001 for both). Significantly improved glycemic control was observed irrespectively of pre-Auto Mode GMI level <7.0% or >8.0%. While total daily dose of insulin increased for both groups, a greater increase was observed in the latter: an increase due primarily to increased basal insulin delivery. In contrast, basal insulin decreased slightly in well-controlled users.CONCLUSIONS: Most MiniMed™ 670G system users in Europe achieved TIR >70% and GMI <7% while minimizing hypoglycemia, in a real-world environment. These international consensus-met outcomes were enabled by automated insulin delivery meeting real-time insulin requirements adapted to each individual user.

- Background: Advanced hybrid closed-loop (AHCL) automated insulin delivery systems are the most effective therapy in terms of assisting people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) to achieve glycemic targets; however, the cost can represent a barrier to uptake. Here, a cost-utility analysis of the MiniMedTM 780G AHCL system (MM780G) versus intermittently-scanned continuous glucose monitoring (is-CGM) plus multiple daily insulin injections (MDI) in people with T1D not achieving glycemic goals was performed across six European countries.Methods: Clinical input data were sourced from the ADAPT trial. Assuming a baseline HbA1c of 9.04%, HbA1c reductions of 1.54% for AHCL and 0.2% for is-CGM+MDI were assumed. The analyses were performed from a payer perspective over a time horizon of 40 years and an annual discount rate of 3% was applied.Results: Across all countries, the use of AHCL was projected to result in an incremental gain in quality-adjusted life expectancy of >2 quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) versus is-CGM+MDI. Lifetime direct costs were higher with AHCL resulting in incremental cost-utility ratios for AHCL versus is-CGM+MDI ranging from EUR 11,765 per QALY gained in Austria to EUR 43,963 per QALY gained in Italy.Conclusions: For people with T1D managed with is-CGM+MDI not achieving glycemic targets, initiation of the MM780G system was projected to improve long-term clinical outcomes; however, due to differences in healthcare costs between countries, the health economic outcomes differ. In the countries included here, AHCL is likely to be cost-effective relative to is-CGM+MDI for people not achieving glycemic goals with is-CGM+MDI. The ADAPT trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04235504.

- OBJECTIVE: To determine, based on published literature and expert clinical experience, current indications for the post-surgical administration of a large radioiodine activity in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. DESIGN AND METHODS: A literature review was performed and was then analyzed and discussed by a panel of experts from 13 European countries. RESULTS: There is general agreement that patients with unifocal microcarcinomas = 1 cm in diameter and no node or distant metastases have a <2% recurrence rate after surgery alone, and that post-surgical radioiodine confers recurrence and cause-specific survival benefits in patients, strongly suspected of having persistent disease or known to have tumor in the neck or distant sites. In other patients, there is limited evidence that after complete thyroidectomy and adequate lymph node dissection performed by an expert surgeon, post-surgical radioiodine provides clear benefit. When there is any uncertainty about the completeness of surgery, evidence suggests that radioiodine can reduce recurrences and possibly mortality. CONCLUSION: This survey confirms that post-surgical radioiodine should be used selectively. The modality is definitely indicated in patients with distant metastases, incomplete tumor resection, or complete tumor resection but high risk of recurrence and mortality. Probable indications include patients with tumors >1 cm and with suboptimal surgery (less than total thyroidectomy or no lymph node dissection), with age <16 years, or with unfavorable histology.

- As differentiated (follicular and papillary) thyroid cancer (DTC) may recur years after initial treatment, follow-up of patients with DTC is long term. However, this population has changed, with more individuals being discovered at an earlier stage of disease, so that previous follow-up protocols based mostly on data from high-risk patients no longer apply. We have proposed, in a previous issue of this Journal, an improved protocol for the follow-up of low-risk patients with DTC based on the findings of recent studies. We report here the case of a paradigmatic patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma, with the goal of illustrating the benefits of applying this algorithm in routine clinical practice. We also offer expanded and additional comments on various issues in the management of DTC.

- OBJECTIVE: Because differentiated (follicular and papillary) thyroid cancer (DTC) may recur years after initial treatment, the follow-up of patients with DTC is long term. However, this population has changed, with more individuals being discovered at an earlier stage of the disease, so that previous follow-up protocols based mostly on data from high-risk patients no longer apply. We sought to develop an improved protocol for the follow-up of low-risk patients with DTC based on the findings of recent studies. METHODS: We analysed recent literature on the follow-up of DTC. RESULTS: Recent large studies have produced three important findings: (i) in patients with low-risk DTC with no evidence of disease up to the 6- to 12-month follow-up, diagnostic whole-body scan adds no information when serum thyroglobulin (Tg) is undetectable and interference from anti-Tg antibodies is absent; (ii) use of recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone to aid Tg measurement is effective and provides greater safety, quality-of-life and work productivity than does levothyroxine withdrawal with its attendant hypothyroidism; and (iii) ultrasonography performed by an experienced operator is the most sensitive means of detecting neck recurrences of DTC. CONCLUSIONS: We present a revised follow-up protocol for low-risk patients taking into account the above findings. This protocol should help clinicians enter a new era of monitoring characterized by greater safety, simplicity, convenience and cost savings.
