Complete remission in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus-prevalence and factors.

ABSTRACT: Little is known about complete remission in Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) with the discontinuance of insulin treatment for a period of time. In this retrospective study we analysed the frequency and factors of onset and duration of 1. remission and 2. complete remission in children and adolescents with T1D from the Children Diabetes Centre in Bratislava, Slovakia. A total of 529 individuals with T1D, aged < 19 years (8.5 ± 4.3 years) at diabetes onset were included in the study. Remission was defined by HbA1c < 7.0% (53 mmol/mol) and an insulin daily dose < 0.5 IU/kg (and 0 IU/kg for complete remission). Remission occurred in 210 (39.7%) participants, and 15 of them had complete remission (2.8% from all participants). We have identified a new independent factor of complete remission onset (higher C-peptide). Complete remitters had a longer duration of remission compared with other remitters and also differed in lower HbA1c levels. No association was seen with autoantibodies or genetic risk score for T1D. Thus, not only partial but also complete remission is influenced by factors pointing toward an early diagnosis of T1D, which is important for better patient outcome.

Project description:Background and purposePancreatic islet autoantibodies (iAb) are the hallmark of autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes. A more comprehensive understanding of the global iAb prevalence could help reduce avertible morbidity and mortality among children and adolescents and contribute to the understanding in the observed differences in the incidence, prevalence and health outcomes of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes across and within countries. We present the first scoping review that provides a global synthesis of the prevalence of iAb in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.Research design and methodsWe searched Ovid MEDLINE® with Daily Update, Embase (Elsevier, embase.com) and PubMed (National Library of Medicine -NCBI), for studies pertaining to prevalence in children and adolescents (0-19) with type 1 diabetes published between 1 Jan 1990 and 18 June 2021. Results were synthesized using Covidence systematic review software and meta-analysis was completed using R v3·6·1. Two reviewers independently screened abstracts with a third reviewer resolving conflicts (k= 0·92).ResultsThe review revealed 125 studies from 48 different countries, with 92 from high-income countries. Globally, in new-onset type 1 diabetes, IA-2A was the most prevalent iAb 0·714 [95% CI (0·71, 0·72)], followed by ICA 0·681 [95% CI (0·67, 0·69)], ZnT8A was 0·654 [95% CI (0·64, 0·66)], GADA 0·636 [95% CI (0·63, 0·66)] and then IAA 0·424 [95% CI (0·42, 0·43)], with substantial variation across world regions. The weighted mean prevalence of IA-2A was more variable, highest in Europe at 0·749 [95% CI (0·74, 0·76)] followed by Northern America 0·662 [95% CI (0·64, 0·69)], Latin America and the Caribbean 0·632 [95% CI (0·54, 0·72)], Oceania 0·603 [95% CI (0·54, 0·67)], Asia 0·466 [95% CI (0·44, 0·50)] and Africa 0·311 [95% CI (0·23, 0·40)]. In established cases of type 1 diabetes, GADA was the most prevalent iAb 0·407 [95% CI (0·39, 0·42)] followed by ZnT8A 0·322 [95% CI (0·29, 0·36)], IA-2A 0·302 [95% CI (0·29, 0·32)], IAA 0·258 [95% CI (0·24, 0·26)] and ICA 0·145 [95% CI (0·13, 0·16)], again with substantial variation across world regions.ConclusionUnderstanding the global prevalence of iAb in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes could help with earlier identification of those at-risk of developing type 1 diabetes and inform clinical practice, health policies, resource allocation, and targeted healthcare interventions to better screen, diagnose and manage children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
