    Abstract Aims: To investigate the prevalence of comorbid conditions/complications among Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a real-world setting.
    Methods: We performed retrospective analyses of a large-scale database directly linked to electronic medical records, J-DREAMS (Japan Diabetes compREhensive database project based on an Advanced electronic Medical record System), to determine the prevalence of clinically significant comorbid conditions/complications among Japanese patients with T2DM aged ≥ 20 years with ≥ 1 clinical encounter at a referral center between April 1, 2017 and March 31, 2019.
    Results: Data were available for 10,151 patients (39.2% female). The mean age and T2DM duration were 66.0 years and 16.1 years, respectively. Only 0.5% had isolated T2DM, 6.6% had one comorbid condition/complication, and the remainder had multiple comorbid conditions/complications. Dyslipidemia (84.7%) and hypertension (75.1%) were the most common, followed by chronic kidney disease (35.4%), retinopathy (23.1%), and cardiovascular diseases (22.1%). Overall, 36.0% of patients were overweight/obese (body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m
    Conclusions: We revealed a high prevalence of comorbid conditions/complications, including chronic kidney and cardiovascular diseases, in Japanese patients with T2DM.

    Abstract Background: Direct-acting anti-viral agents have improved the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, but this treatment is challenging for patients using co-medications because of potential drug-drug interactions. This study aimed to examine the comorbidities and co-medications of Japanese chronic HCV patients by age group, compared with a non-HCV patient population.
    Methods: This was a retrospective observational study using a hospital-based medical claims database. We extracted data of patients with chronic HCV aged ≥18 years, and age-, sex-, and hospital-matched patients without HCV, for the period from January 2015 to November 2016, and then examined chronic comorbidities, long-term co-medications, and medications prescribed at least once during the study period.
    Results: We analysed data from 128,967 chronic HCV patients and 515,868 non-HCV patients. The median age was 70 years, and 51.0% of patients were male. More chronic HCV patients than non-HCV patients (70.5% vs. 47.1%) had at least one comorbidity, and older patients had more comorbidities than younger patients. The most common comorbidities in chronic HCV patients were diseases of oesophagus, stomach and duodenum (41.7%), followed by hypertensive diseases (31.4%). Chronic HCV patients used co-medications more commonly than non-HCV patients, and older patients used more co-medications. The most common long-term co-medications in chronic HCV patients were proton pump inhibitors (14.0%), which were prescribed to 31.9% of chronic HCV patients at least once during the study period.
    Conclusions: Patients with chronic HCV in Japan had more comorbidities than patients without chronic HCV regardless of age. Particularly older patients, who constitute the majority of the HCV patient population in Japan, commonly had multiple comorbidities and used co-medications. To optimise HCV treatment, physicians need to know the exact medication profiles of patients and take appropriate action to manage drug-drug interactions.

    Abstract Background: Sleep disturbance in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients may have a negative impact not only on patients themselves but also on the physical and mental health of their caregivers. Detailed analysis of these issues is lacking.
    Objective: This study investigated the association between sleep disturbance in AD patients and the burden on, and health status of, their caregivers in Japan.
    Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional web-based questionnaire survey among caregivers of AD patients with insomnia symptoms in Japan. Demographic data and Sleep Disorders Inventory (SDI) scores for patients, caregiver burden (Burden Index of Caregivers-11 [BIC-11]) and health status, including Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and 12-Item Short Form Health Survey v2, were collected. Multivariate analysis was used to examine the association between the burden and health status of caregivers and sleep disturbance in their care recipients with AD.
    Results: A total of 496 caregivers of AD patients with insomnia symptoms were examined in this study. We found that the BIC-11 total score increased as the SDI score increased, indicating a significant positive association, even after adjusting for confounding factors. We also found an association between sleep disturbances of AD patients and health of caregivers (sleep quality, depression, and physical/mental quality of life).
    Conclusion: This study demonstrated that sleep disturbance in AD patients was associated with an increased burden and poorer health status of caregivers. Our findings highlight the importance of sleep management in AD patients.
