Abstract
Introduction
Epidemiological studies on type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) have been developed in almost all the Spanish geography, but no registry currently provides national incidence and prevalence figures. This study aims to estimate the incidence of DM1 in children under 15 years of age in Spain based on the available studies, and to know the prevalence of diabetes in children under 15 years of age based from the data collected in the Primary Care Clinical Database (BDCAP).
Material and methods
Bibliographic review of publications and communications that provided data up to December 2020. Estimation of the average incidence in Spain, based on data from each autonomous community. Estimation of the prevalence of DM1 in children under 15 years of age according to BDCAP.
Results
The reported incidences varied from 7.9 cases/100,000 population per year (c/105ppy) in the Balearic Islands to 30.48 c/105ppy in Gran Canaria. Diagnosis in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is found in approximately one third of cases (21-43.7%). The average incidence of DM1 in children under 15 years of age in Spain would be 20.54 c/105ppy, with about 1,398 new cases per year. BDCAP records 12,346 cases of diabetes in children under 15 years of age, with a prevalence of 1.96 cases/1,000 population.
Conclusions
There are studies of DM1 incidence in almost all Spanish communities. The incidence of DM1 in children under 15 years of age in Spain is very high according to the WHO classification (> 20 c/105ppy). The proportion of cases diagnosed with CAD is high, suggesting that programs to improve the early diagnosis of DM1 are still needed.
期刊介绍:
Endocrinología, Diabetes y Nutrición is the official journal of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (Sociedad Española de Endocrinología y Nutrición, SEEN) and the Spanish Society of Diabetes (Sociedad Española de Diabetes, SED), and was founded in 1954. The aim of the journal is to improve knowledge and be a useful tool in practice for clinical and laboratory specialists, trainee physicians, researchers, and nurses interested in endocrinology, diabetes, nutrition and related disciplines. It is an international journal published in Spanish (print and online) and English (online), covering different fields of endocrinology and metabolism, including diabetes, obesity, and nutrition disorders, as well as the most relevant research produced mainly in Spanish language territories. The quality of the contents is ensured by a prestigious national and international board, and by a selected panel of specialists involved in a rigorous peer review. The result is that only manuscripts containing high quality research and with utmost interest for clinicians and professionals related in the field are published. The Journal publishes Original clinical and research articles, Reviews, Special articles, Clinical Guidelines, Position Statements from both societies and Letters to the editor. Endocrinología, Diabetes y Nutrición can be found at Science Citation Index Expanded, Medline/PubMed and SCOPUS.
