Abstract

Purpose: Glycated albumin (GA) is a glycemic marker reflecting the average serum glucose of the previous 2 weeks. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of GA as a glycemic index to complement glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in children and adolescents.

Methods: Fifty-four children and adolescents with diabetes mellitus (DM) and 97 children and adolescents without DM (NDM) were enrolled. The correlation between mean blood glucose (MG) and GA compared to HbA1c was investigated in the DM group. The correlation between fasting glucose (FG) and GA compared to HbA1c was investigated in the NDM group. Factors affecting GA, HbA1c, and GA/HbA1c were analyzed.

Results: In the DM group, positive correlations were observed between MG and GA (P=0.003), between MG and HbA1c (P=0.001), and between GA and HbA1c (P<0.001). The correlation coefficient between MG and GA did not differ from that between MG and HbA1c in the DM group (P=0.811). Among patients with DM, those whose standardized body mass index standard deviation score (BMI SDS) was ≥2 had a lower GA/HbA1c compared with those whose BMI SDS was <2 (P=0.001). In the NDM group, there were no significant correlations between FG and GA, between FG and HbA1c, or between GA and HbA1c. The NDM subjects whose BMI SDS was ≥2 had a lower GA/HbA1c than did the NDM subjects whose BMI SDS was <2 (P=0.003).

Conclusion: GA is comparable with HbA1c in reflecting glycemic control in children and adolescents with DM. GA is affected by obesity in children and adolescents with or without DM.

糖化白蛋白水平作为糖尿病儿童和青少年糖化血红蛋白补充血糖指数的实用性。

目的：糖化白蛋白（GA）是反映前两周平均血清葡萄糖的血糖指标。本研究旨在评估 GA 作为儿童和青少年糖化血红蛋白 (HbA1c) 的血糖指标的补充作用：方法：54 名患有糖尿病（DM）的儿童和青少年以及 97 名未患有糖尿病（NDM）的儿童和青少年参加了研究。在 DM 组中，研究了平均血糖 (MG) 和 GA 与 HbA1c 之间的相关性。在 NDM 组中调查了空腹血糖 (FG) 和 GA 与 HbA1c 之间的相关性。分析了影响 GA、HbA1c 和 GA/HbA1c 的因素：结果：在 DM 组中，观察到 MG 与 GA（P=0.003）、MG 与 HbA1c（P=0.001）以及 GA 与 HbA1c（PC）之间存在正相关：在反映患有糖尿病的儿童和青少年的血糖控制方面，GA 与 HbA1c 具有可比性。无论是否患有糖尿病，儿童和青少年的 GA 都会受到肥胖的影响。

期刊介绍： The Annals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism Journal is the official publication of the Korean Society of Pediatric Endocrinology. Its formal abbreviated title is “Ann Pediatr Endocrinol Metab”. It is a peer-reviewed open access journal of medicine published in English. The journal was launched in 1996 under the title of ‘Journal of Korean Society of Pediatric Endocrinology’ until 2011 (pISSN 1226-2242). Since 2012, the title is now changed to ‘Annals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism’. The Journal is published four times per year on the last day of March, June, September, and December. It is widely distributed for free to members of the Korean Society of Pediatric Endocrinology, medical schools, libraries, and academic institutions. The journal is indexed/tracked/covered by web sites of PubMed Central, PubMed, Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), Scopus, EBSCO, EMBASE, KoreaMed, KoMCI, KCI, Science Central, DOI/CrossRef, Directory of Open Access Journals(DOAJ), and Google Scholar. The aims of Annals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism are to contribute to the advancements in the fields of pediatric endocrinology & metabolism through the scientific reviews and interchange of all of pediatric endocrinology and metabolism. It aims to reflect the latest clinical, translational, and basic research trends from worldwide valuable achievements. In addition, genome research, epidemiology, public education and clinical practice guidelines in each country are welcomed for publication. The Journal particularly focuses on research conducted with Asian-Pacific children whose genetic and environmental backgrounds are different from those of the Western. Area of specific interest include the following : Growth, puberty, glucose metabolism including diabetes mellitus, obesity, nutrition, disorders of sexual development, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal cortex, bone or other endocrine and metabolic disorders from infancy through adolescence.
