In both primary prevention and secondary intervention arms of the trial, intensified control reduced retinopathy risk by half or more, and also reduced nephropathy and neuropathy risks--however, risk of severe hypoglycaemic episodes was increased about three-fold.

Demographic features of patients in both years were similar: most injuries were in males (89%), most were a result of an assault ( > 75%), and 50% of the patients presented for treatment between the hours of 10pm and 5am. There were striking reductions in the numbers of patients who waited more than 24-hours for an operation (60% in 1983; 34% in 1993), and out-of-hours operating (60% in 1983; 41% in 1993). There was an increase in the number of patients for whom consultants were the principal operator (13% in 1983; 32% in 1993). Changes in the methods of treatment included a decrease in the use of postoperative intermaxillary fixation (98% in 1983; 56% in 1993) and an increase in internal fixation using bone plates (2% in 1983; 53% in 1993).

The results support claims that the services for children with psychiatric disorders are inadequate. However, many children with disorders are presented to other professionals by their parents.
