Abstract
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic limited the daily activities of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus, and several factors are impacting ongoing care. The role of pandemics on glycemic control is unknown. We plan to assess the glycemic status and the factors that influence it during the pandemic. Objectives: Our goal was to examine the impact of COVID-19 quarantine on the glycemic control of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Methods: Databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Science Direct, with English-type articles extracted from December 31, 2019, to March 3, 2022, were searched. The article review was based on factors influencing glycemic control in type 1 diabetes mellitus cases younger than 18 years of age during the pandemic period such as psychological factors, telemedicine role, lifestyle changes, various diabetes technology (cost, availability…), caregivers’ role, and socioeconomic factors. Results: We scanned 573 articles as an initial search for titles/abstracts and full-text reviews, and 54 articles remained after title/abstract screening for full-text assessment among which 14 articles (cohort studies) were included. Most studies reported glycemic improvement based on blood glucose metrics while some studies reported stable glycemic control. Although the pre-pandemic glucose profile is important, factors such as telemedicine, diabetes technology, and lifestyle play a more tangible role in improving glycemic control during the pandemic. Conclusions: Overall, the studies did not contain strong evidence that glycemic control worsened in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus during the pandemic. Although the assessment was conducted over a short period, long-term multicenter studies would be useful for a more precise assessment of the mentioned potential factors.
背景:COVID-19大流行限制了1型糖尿病儿童和青少年的日常活动,有几个因素正在影响持续的护理。流行病对血糖控制的作用尚不清楚。我们计划在大流行期间评估血糖状况及其影响因素。目的:研究COVID-19隔离对1型糖尿病儿童和青少年血糖控制的影响。方法:检索PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science、Science Direct等数据库,提取2019年12月31日至2022年3月3日的英文论文。本文综述的基础是大流行期间影响18岁以下1型糖尿病患者血糖控制的因素,如心理因素、远程医疗角色、生活方式改变、各种糖尿病技术(成本、可获得性……)、护理人员角色和社会经济因素。结果:我们扫描了573篇文章作为标题/摘要和全文综述的初步检索,在标题/摘要筛选后,剩下54篇文章进行全文评估,其中14篇文章(队列研究)被纳入。大多数研究报告基于血糖指标的血糖改善,而一些研究报告稳定的血糖控制。虽然大流行前的血糖状况很重要,但远程医疗、糖尿病技术和生活方式等因素在大流行期间改善血糖控制方面发挥着更切实的作用。结论:总的来说,这些研究没有强有力的证据表明大流行期间1型糖尿病儿童和青少年的血糖控制恶化。虽然评估是在短期内进行的,但长期的多中心研究将有助于对上述潜在因素进行更精确的评估。
