Rates, Risk Factors, and Progression of Diabetic Retinopathy in Children with Type 1 Diabetes: A 15-Year Retrospective Study from a Regional Center in New Zealand.
Aims: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the primary microvascular complication associated with diabetes. Evidence on DR prevalence among children in New Zealand is scarce. We examined DR rates and associated risk factors in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) aged <16 years receiving care from a regional diabetes service in January 2006-December 2020.
Materials and methods: DR diagnosis followed the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes guidelines. The study included 646 participants; mean age (±SD) at T1D diagnosis was 7.4 ± 3.6 years, 47% were female, and 69% identified as NZ Europeans.
Results: The initial DR screening occurred at a mean age of 12.6 ± 2.4 years and 5.2 ± 2.2 years after T1D diagnosis. At the first DR screen, 23.5% of participants (152/646) were diagnosed with DR: 69.1% (105/152) with minimal, 30.3% (46/152) with mild, and one moderate case (0.7%). Older age at diagnosis (p=0.029) and longer diabetes duration (p=0.015) were predictors of DR at first screen. Patients with at least one positive DR screen had a higher average HbA1c at their first screen (+2.6 mmol/mol; p=0.042). Overall, 55.6% (359/646) of patients had a positive DR screen, whose worst grade was mostly either minimal (58.2%) or mild (40.7%) DR, with only three moderate cases (0.8%) and one severe (0.3%). Children diagnosed with T1D before age 10 were 72% more likely to have DR than older children (p < 0.0001), and DR risk was 32% and 41% higher among Pacific children than NZ European (p=0.008) and Māori (p=0.014) children. Lastly, the only predictor of DR at discharge from paediatric services was HbA1c at the first screen (p < 0.0001).
Conclusions: In this regional cohort of children with T1D, there was a high rate of low-grade DR overall and at first retinal screen, with an increasing rate until transfer to adult services. Our findings underscore the importance of ongoing DR screening, reducing glycaemic levels, and supporting vulnerable high-risk groups.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Diabetes is a bi-monthly journal devoted to disseminating new knowledge relating to the epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, management, complications and prevention of diabetes in childhood and adolescence. The aim of the journal is to become the leading vehicle for international dissemination of research and practice relating to diabetes in youth. Papers are considered for publication based on the rigor of scientific approach, novelty, and importance for understanding mechanisms involved in the epidemiology and etiology of this disease, especially its molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects. Work relating to the clinical presentation, course, management and outcome of diabetes, including its physical and emotional sequelae, is considered. In vitro studies using animal or human tissues, whole animal and clinical studies in humans are also considered. The journal reviews full-length papers, preliminary communications with important new information, clinical reports, and reviews of major topics. Invited editorials, commentaries, and perspectives are a regular feature. The editors, based in the USA, Europe, and Australasia, maintain regular communications to assure rapid turnaround time of submitted manuscripts.
