Diabetic ketoacidosis at type 1 diabetes diagnosis in children during theCOVID‐19 pandemic

Abstract: Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant public health measures that have resulted in decreased acute pediatric care utilization. We evaluated whether the rate of severe presentations of new onset type 1 diabetes (DM1), such as, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) has changed since the COVID-19 public health measures were enacted.Research Design and Methods: A retrospective chart review of children less than 18 years of age presenting with new onset DM1 during the pandemic period of March 17, 2020 to Au… Show more

“…Our data support the observation that COVID-19 pandemic has changed many aspects related to the access to medical care, diagnosis, and treatment of many pediatric diseases around the world [5,23]. Regarding T1D, the first emerging lesson that can be drawn from the experiences in the early phase of the pandemic is the importance of not delaying the diagnosis, which resulted in an increased burden on DKA [20,21,[24][25][26][27].…”

“…Among people presenting with DKA with newly diagnosed diabetes, the median age was 30 years (IQR 13-51) in the first wave compared with 27 years (13-49) in the prepandemic period (appendix p 3). During the first wave, there were significantly higher proportions of men (64% [95% CI 61-66] vs 59% [56-62]; p=0•0009) and people of non-White ethnicities (23% [21][22][23][24][25][26] vs 19% [17][18][19][20][21][22]; p<0•0001) admitted with DKA than in the prepandemic period (appendix pp 4-6). No substantial differences were observed in the distribution of cases by age category in people with newly diagnosed diabetes.…”

“…Children presenting with new-onset T1D may also be more likely to present in DKA and may have more severe DKA in during the coronavirus pandemic. 47 However, evidence to date suggests that children with T1D and COVID-19 do not have worse disease outcomes than those without diabetes. 48 Children with diabetes have faced unique challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily related to widespread closures of schools and daycare centres.…”

“…T1D Exchange data in the paediatric population demonstrated higher A1C, increased risk of hospitalization, non‐Hispanic Black ethnicity and public insurance in children with T1D and COVID‐19 (unpublished data). Children presenting with new‐onset T1D may also be more likely to present in DKA and may have more severe DKA in during the coronavirus pandemic 47 . However, evidence to date suggests that children with T1D and COVID‐19 do not have worse disease outcomes than those without diabetes 48 …”
