Abstract
Introduction and Objective: Severe hypoglycemia (SH) is a life-threatening complication of type 1 diabetes (T1D), making accurate risk identification essential. We used artificial intelligence (AI)-based chart review to improve identification of factors associated with SH in children with T1D. Methods: We studied children (<18y) with T1D seen in endocrinology clinics at a large tertiary health center between April 2020 and April 2025 (n = 4,018). Clinicians were required to screen for SH at each visit using questionnaires built into the medical chart. Data scientists employed a hybrid AI-assisted and traditional approach to extract clinical, socioeconomic, and CGM data using PySpark transformations, ChatGPT 5.1 within Palantir Foundry, and custom Python scripts. Groups with and without SH were compared using Fisher's exact, χ² and Mann-Whitney tests. Select multivariate regressions were performed. Results: Clinician-documented SH occurred in 5% of patients (206/4018). Table 1 presents group comparisons. Controlling for insurance type, Black race was no longer significantly associated with SH (p=0.07). Conclusion: AI-assisted analyses of SH reflect established disparities in glycemic control and diabetes technology use, possibly associated with insurance coverage. Future AI-generated predictive models may improve risk assessment and guide focused interventions. Disclosure N. Borrego: None. D. Palacios: None. H. Chen: None. Z. Liu: None. D.J.

期刊介绍:
Diabetes is a scientific journal that publishes original research exploring the physiological and pathophysiological aspects of diabetes mellitus. We encourage submissions of manuscripts pertaining to laboratory, animal, or human research, covering a wide range of topics. Our primary focus is on investigative reports investigating various aspects such as the development and progression of diabetes, along with its associated complications. We also welcome studies delving into normal and pathological pancreatic islet function and intermediary metabolism, as well as exploring the mechanisms of drug and hormone action from a pharmacological perspective. Additionally, we encourage submissions that delve into the biochemical and molecular aspects of both normal and abnormal biological processes.
However, it is important to note that we do not publish studies relating to diabetes education or the application of accepted therapeutic and diagnostic approaches to patients with diabetes mellitus. Our aim is to provide a platform for research that contributes to advancing our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and processes of diabetes.
