We demonstrated that a behavioural intervention is feasible to deliver and improved obesity measures in AI youth. Future work should evaluate TTP for effectiveness, sustainability and long-term impact in expanded tribal settings.
Poor outcome was associated with AASBP < 75th percentile (odds ratio, 4.2; 95% confidence interval, 2.1-8.3). Patients with systolic blood pressure (SBP) > or = 90 mm Hg and AASBP < 75th percentile had a higher odds for poor outcome compared with patients with SBP > or = 90 mm Hg and AASBP > or = 75th percentile (odds ratio, 3.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.7-7.3). CONCLUSION AASBP < 75th percentile was associated with poor outcome after severe pediatric TBI, even when SBP was > or = 90 mm Hg.
Background.
One in three adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes have at least one early diabetes-related complication/comorbidity. However, the prevalence, patterning, and risk factors for co-occurring complications in this population are not well understood.
Methods.
The SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth observational cohort study includes 1327 individuals diagnosed with type 1 diabetes before 20 years of age from 5 United States locations. Sociodemographic and metabolic risk factors were assessed at baseline (mean diabetes duration = 0·8 years, mean age = 10·9 years) and follow-up (mean diabetes duration = 7.8 years, mean age = 18·0 years). Early diabetes complications (diabetic kidney disease, diabetic retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy, cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy, and arterial stiffness) were assessed at follow-up. We aimed to describe co-occurrence of complications and examine differences in co-occurrence within demographic and metabolic risk factor clusters identified using cluster analysis.
Findings.
Overall, co-occurrence of any ≥2 complications was observed in 5·9% of all participants, more frequently than expected by chance alone (4·4%, p=0·015). Specifically, retinopathy and diabetic kidney disease, retinopathy and arterial stiffness, and arterial stiffness and cardiac autonomic neuropathy all co-occurred more frequently than expected (all p<0·05). The cluster analysis produced four unique clusters characterized by progressively worsening metabolic risk factor profiles (longer duration; higher A1c, non-HDL cholesterol, and waist to height ratio) and differences in sociodemographic characteristics (race/ethnicity, household income, type of health insurance). Prevalence of ≥2 complications progressively increased with worsening metabolic profiles (from 2·3% to 20·8%, p<0·001).
Interpretation.
We report that early complications co-occur in adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes more frequently than expected after an average of less than eight years of diabetes duration. A cluster of high risk factors identifies groups that may benefit most from interventions to reduce complications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
