The convergent and criterion validity of the instrument were demonstrated, with diabetes knowledge and subjective diabetes numeracy, respectively, as was its acceptable internal consistency, by a Kuder-Richardson-20 coefficient of 0.81. CONCLUSIONS The DHNT demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties. The instrument with moderate levels of item-difficulty may have a lower cognitive burden. The developed instrument can be applied in practice to tailor the education of diabetes self-management according to the levels of health numeracy of specific patients. V.Clonal hematopoiesis is a common premalignant condition defined by the abnormal expansion of clonally derived hematopoietic stem cells carrying somatic mutations in leukemia-associated genes. Apart from increasing age, this phenomenon occurs with higher frequency in individuals with lymphoid or solid tumors and is associated with exposures to genotoxic stress. Clonal hematopoiesis in this context confers a greater risk for developing therapy-related myeloid neoplasms and appears to contribute to adverse cancer-related survival through a variety of potential mechanisms. These include alterations of the bone marrow microenvironment, inflammatory changes in clonal effector cells and modulation of immune responses. Understanding how clonal hematopoiesis drives therapy-related myeloid neoplasm initiation and interactions with non-myeloid malignancies will inform screening and surveillance approaches and suggest targeted therapies in this vulnerable population. Here, we examine the clinical implications of clonal hematopoiesis in the cancer setting and discuss potential strategies to mitigate the adverse consequences of clonal expansion.
