Currently, most evidence for lower limb complications in children with diabetes relies on infrequent clinical observations and occasionally invasive assessments that can cause discomfort. Clinical guidelines do not provide explicit guidance on frequency of neurovascular assessments for children with diabetes. <b>Aim:</b> To systematically review the prevalence and presentation of clinical neuropathy and vasculopathy in children with diabetes. <b>Methods:</b> A systematic search of the literature was conducted in March 2024 using the EMBASE, Cochrane, PubMed (including MEDLINE) and CINAHL databases. At least two authors independently screened studies for inclusion and assessed methodological quality for each paper using the downs and black quality appraisal checklist. Extracted data was summarised and tabulated. Meta-analysis was also performed. <b>Results:</b> Eighteen studies with 3533 participants were included. Participants were aged 3.5-18 years, and 95% had type 1 diabetes, while 5% had type 2 diabetes. These studies used a range of assessments, including monofilament, vibrioception, sharp-blunt discrimination, temperature perception, reflexes, muscle strength and tone, joint perception, pedal pulses, and ankle brachial index (ABI). Prevalence of clinical neuropathy ranged from 0% to 57.1% with a prospective cohort study reporting a 2.6-fold increase in 5 years, while prevalence of vascular complications ranged from 0% to 37.8%. The meta-analysis reported 0%-7% of children could report abnormality on assessments for neuropathy. <b>Conclusion:</b> The broad range may be due to heterogeneous methodological designs and diagnostic assessments, and potentially inadequate reporting. There is emerging evidence that children with diabetes may develop complications before age 18, which provides impetus for clinical caution.

This study aimed to compare diabetes-specific distress between parents of children with T1D and parents of adolescents with T1D in China and explore the associated factors. <b>Methods:</b> A cross-sectional design was used. Parents of children (aged 8-12 years) and adolescents (aged 13-18 years) diagnosed with T1D for >6 months were recruited online via social media.

Compared to the prepandemic period, during the COVID-19 pandemic adjusted IDAA1C was significantly higher at 3-5 months after diagnosis (mean estimated differences 0.26 [95% confidence interval 0.17; 0.35], <i>p</i>  < 0.001), but not at 6-10 months and 11-13 months after diagnosis (mean estimated difference 0.08 [-0.01; 0.17], <i>p</i>=0.07; and -0.03 [-0.12; 0.07], <i>p</i>=0.60), reflecting a lower percentage of patients in remission at 3-5 months. Reasons may be changes in autoimmune progression during the pandemic, lack of physical activities, increased stress or psychological burden, or altered access to care with delayed diagnosis of diabetes. Underlying causes need to be evaluated in future studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":19797,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Diabetes","volume":"2025 ","pages":"9903467"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12097864/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144128040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
