Abstract:Background: Recognizing insulin resistance (IR) in children remains challenging due to uncertain IRI-HOMA cut-offs and unclear recommendations for evaluating IR based on OGTT. In our study, we compare the effectiveness of IRI-HOMA and IRI-Belfiore (OGTT-based) in detecting IR and its metabolic complications in children. Methods: The analysis included 553 children who were hospitalized at the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases of the Polish Mother’s Memorial Hospital Research Institute (PMMH-RI)… Show more
