Severity of complications is associated with impaired health-related quality of life in people with type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment is increasingly integrated into type 1 diabetes (T1D) monitoring to promote a holistic approach. To investigate HRQoL in adults with T1D and to assess the impact of the severity of complications on HRQoL.

Materials and methods

This is a cross-sectional analysis of baseline characteristics of adults living with T1D included in Société Francophone du Diabète - Cohorte Diabète de Type 1 (SFDT1), a French longitudinal cohort study. HRQoL was assessed using generic (EuroQol 5-Dimensions 5-Level questionnaire [EQ-5D-5L]) and diabetes-specific (Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life) instruments. The severity of diabetes complications was measured using an adapted Diabetes Complication Score Index (DCSI) ranging from 0 to
