Abstract
Aims
Current guidance on how best to monitor children and young people (CYP) with early-stage type 1 diabetes is evidenced mainly by expert consensus. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the current evidence for tests used to predict disease progression.
Methods
Data were sourced from PubMed, Cochrane Central, Ovid Embase and Scopus. The association (hazard ratio [HR]) between test positivity and progression to stage 3 type 1 diabetes in CYP aged ≤18 years with ≥2 islet autoantibodies was examined. Data were pooled using random effects models, and the Hartung–Knapp–Sidik–Jonkman (HKSJ) method was used to adjust confidence intervals to account for greater uncertainty. The risk of bias was evaluated using the QUADAS-2 tool (CRD42023393960).
Results
In this study, 12,923 studies were identified and 285 underwent full-text review. Thirty-four studies (n = 6866 CYP, median age 11.8 years [IQR, 6.6–13.8]) were included. Overall, 2080 (30%) CYP progressed to stage 3 type 1 diabetes over a median follow-up of 5 years (IQR 2–5). The pooled HR for tests that predicted progression were: 1.40 (95% CI 1.07–1.84) for fasting glucose (OGTT), 3.19 (1.75–5.82) for 2-h glucose (OGTT), 6.43 (1.21–34.18) for the M120 above the median value, 3.12 (2.19–4.43) per 1-unit increase in Index 60 and 1.40 (1.17–1.68) per 1.1 mmol/mol increase in HbA1c (C-statistics 0.7–0.8). Evidence for other tests, including CGM, was uncertain.
Conclusions
The OGTT, its related tests (M120, Index60) and HbA1c predict progression to stage 3 in CYP with early-stage type 1 diabetes. Other tests, including CGM, need more evidence to support their use as predictive tests in this context.
期刊介绍:
Diabetic Medicine, the official journal of Diabetes UK, is published monthly simultaneously, in print and online editions.
The journal publishes a range of key information on all clinical aspects of diabetes mellitus, ranging from human genetic studies through clinical physiology and trials to diabetes epidemiology. We do not publish original animal or cell culture studies unless they are part of a study of clinical diabetes involving humans. Categories of publication include research articles, reviews, editorials, commentaries, and correspondence. All material is peer-reviewed.
We aim to disseminate knowledge about diabetes research with the goal of improving the management of people with diabetes. The journal therefore seeks to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers worldwide. Topics covered are of importance to all healthcare professionals working with people with diabetes, whether in primary care or specialist services.
Surplus generated from the sale of Diabetic Medicine is used by Diabetes UK to know diabetes better and fight diabetes more effectively on behalf of all people affected by and at risk of diabetes as well as their families and carers.”
