To determine in Canadian children aged <18 years the 1) incidence of type 2 diabetes, medication-induced and monogenic diabetes; 2) clinical features 3) coexisting morbidity associated with diabetes at diagnosis.
Incidence rates of type 1 diabetes have long been on the rise across globe, however, there is emerging evidence that rate may be slowing. The objective this study was to describe trends in incidence and prevalence a sample Canadian children youth.Cases were extracted using linked administrative datasets validated case-finding definition. analyzed JoinPoint regression analysis program.A small increase observed over 11-year period from 2002-2003 2012-2013. Total incident cases per year ranged...
To evaluate pediatric type 1 diabetes telehealth visits during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on assessing usability of these and gathering patient perspectives.
OBJECTIVE To analyze whether the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic increased number of cases or impacted seasonality new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) in large pediatric centers globally. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed data on 17,280 T1D diagnosed during 2018–2021 from 92 worldwide participating SWEET registry using hierarchic linear regression models. RESULTS The average per center adjusted for total patients treated at year and stratified by age-groups 11.2 (95% CI...
Vanderloo SE, Johnson JA, Reimer K, McCrea P, Nuernberger Krueger H, Aydede SK, Collet J-P, Amed S. Validation of classification algorithms for childhood diabetes identified from administrative data. Objective: Type 1 is the most common form among children; however, proportion cases type 2 increasing. In Canada, National Diabetes Surveillance System (NDSS) uses health data to describe trends in epidemiology diabetes, but does not specify type. The objective this study was validate classify...
Our aim was to validate three diabetes case definitions for children and adolescents aged <20 years in Canada using administrative clinical data the province of British Columbia. We identified potential cases from physician claims, hospitalizations prescription drug records between 1992/1993 2007/2008 different definitions, which included a national standard as well two regionally developed definitions. Each definition used combination data; however, only one records. The sensitivity each...
Objective Youth-onset type 2 diabetes is an emerging disease. We estimated incidence and prevalence trends of youth-onset between 2002 2013 in the Canadian province British Columbia. Methods This population-based cohort study used a validated case-finding definition algorithm to differentiate from 1 identify youth <20 years with within linked administrative data. Age-standardized were calculated. JoinPoint regression double exponential smooth modeling used. Results From 2002/2003 2012/2013,...
Childhood obesity is complex and requires a 'systems approach' that collectively engages across multiple community settings. Sustainable Obesity Prevention through Community Engagement (SCOPE) has implemented Live 5-2-1-0-a multi-sector, multi-component childhood prevention initiative informed by systems thinking participatory research via an innovative knowledge translation (KT) model (RE-FRAME). This paper describes the protocol for implementing evaluating RE-FRAME in two 'existing' (>2...
To explore adolescent perspectives on programme design in the transition to adult care.We conducted five focus groups adolescents with type 1 diabetes nearing age of care. Study participants also completed an embedded survey where they rated a wide range potential interventions. Focus group transcripts were analysed three iterations line-by-line coding triangulate themes and subthemes.Four identified: Individualization-how personalize experience (having choices experience, meeting provider...
Children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at much higher risk of developing celiac disease (CD) than the general population. The aim study was to assess prevalence and differences in clinical presentation CD T1D different regions world.This is based on Better control Pediatric Adolescent diabeteS: Working crEate cEnTers Reference (SWEET) database.
