Diabetes mellitus in pediatric solid organ recipients without and with cystic fibrosis: An analysis from the German-Austrian diabetes database (Diabetes Patienten Verlaufsdokumentation)

Abstract

SOT was present in 6.6% of children with diabetes, and this might aggravate the risk of cardiovascular disease in populations with already increased rates of hypertension and dyslipidemia. Dystrophy and short stature were also present, particularly in transplant recipients with CF and diabetes. Comorbidities and long-term consequences call for multidisciplinary collaboration.

Incidence and risk factors of paediatric cystic fibrosis-related diabetes

“…CFFR patients ages 10 and 18 years between 20 0 0 and 2016 were included. Patients were censored at the date of lung transplant due to the high rates of medication-induced diabetes in this population [ 26 ]. Newborn screening for CF was first implemented in Canada in 2007 and was only available universally as of 2018; therefore, the CF patients in this study represent an unscreened population.…”
