ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Monitoring type 1 diabetes (T1D) trends across most European countries using objectively measured data and how this incidence has evolved over the past three decades should be considered a public health priority. This study protocol provides a standardised and transparent methodology to assess TD1 trends among 0-14-year-old children and adolescents across Europe from 1994 to 2021.

Methods and analysis

This protocol is guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols and the Cochrane Collaboration Handbook. The literature search will be conducted using MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL and Web of Science databases from 1994 to 2021.
