Mortality trends in type 1 diabetes: a multicountry analysis of six population-based cohorts.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/hypothesis

Mortality has declined in people with type 1 diabetes in recent decades. We examined how the pattern of decline differs by country, age and sex, and how mortality trends in type 1 diabetes relate to trends in general population mortality.
