However, long-term glucose monitoring and insulin therapy are often required, which can adversely affect the quality of life. We sought to evaluate diabetes-related quality of life (DR-QOL) in youth who underwent TPIAT and compare it to the youth with new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D). The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ 3.2 Diabetes Module (PedsQL™ DM) was used to assess DR-QOL in 46 youth (<20 years old) who underwent TPIAT. The PedsQL™ DM scores were analyzed for statistically significant changes and minimally important clinical differences (MCID) over time post-TPIAT. Scores at 12 months (n = 29) and 24 months (n = 16) were then compared to PedsQL™ DM scores from a historical cohort of demographically similar (age and sex) youth with a 12 months (n = 52) and 24 months (n = 58) after diagnosis of T1D. The diabetes symptoms summary score (mean 65 to 57 and <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" id=\"M1\"> <mi>p</mi> <mo>=</mo> <mn>0.03</mn> </math> ) and the total score (mean 74 to 68 and <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" id=\"M2\"> <mi>p</mi> <mo><</mo> <mn>0.05</mn> </math> ) decreased (worsened) during the first 24 months post-TPIAT and met the MCID threshold, suggesting the decrease in these scores was clinically significant. Post-TPIAT PedsQL™ DM scores were not significantly different than youth new diagnosis of T1D after 24 months (all <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" id=\"M3\"> <mi>p</mi> <mo>></mo> <mn>0.2</mn> </math> ). In youth who underwent TPIAT, DR-QOL worsened over the first two years, mostly attributable to the diabetes symptoms score. Compared to children with T1D, post-TPIAT DR-QOL was similar two years after diabetes onset.","PeriodicalId":19797,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Diabetes","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136248315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
