Establishing glycaemic control with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes: experience of the PedPump Study in 17 countries

Abstract: Aims/hypothesis To assess the use of paediatric continuous subcutaneous infusion (CSII) under real-life conditions by analysing data recorded for up to 90 days and relating them to outcome.Methods Pump programming data from patients aged 0-18 years treated with CSII in 30 centres from 16 European countries and Israel were recorded during routine clinical visits. HbA 1c was measured centrally.Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article

“…The rate of severe events reported in this cohort (6.2 events of severe hypoglycaemia per 100 patient-years) is consistent with other reports in the literature: recently observed rates were 6.6 per 100 patient-years in a European pump cohort [13], 9.6 per 100 patient-years in Boston, MA, and Houston, TX, [17], and 6.9 and 4.4 per 100 patient-years for children <6 years and ≥6 years, respectively, in Israel [11].…”

“…We did observe reduced rates in adolescents treated with pump therapy. While some reports in the past have not observed this [18,19], our finding of reduced rates of severe hypoglycaemia in patients treated with pump therapy is supported by more recent reports in this age group [13,17], including a systematic review [20]. Because of the infrequency of hypoglycaemic convulsions and coma, no randomised trials can be powered to compare pump and injection therapy for hypoglycaemia prevention, and observational studies are the major source of evidence.…”

“…The AP system improved safety compared with SAP, greatly decreasing the incidence of hypoglycemia, a fact of special relevance in this age population which is characterized by a higher frequency of hypoglycemic episodes (12), blunted sympathoadrenal response to falling blood glucose, and reduced warning symptoms and sluggish arousal from sleep (13). This beneficial effect was likely achieved by reducing the administration of basal insulin (25% less than during SAP).…”

“…This modality of treatment reduces the incidence of acute complications, not only hypoglycaemias but also ketoacidosis, together with improved metabolic control, increased adherence to the treatment and promotion of family involvement. Treatment with CIIS in the paediatric population is safe and efficacious and represents a valid option in selected patients of whatever age provided that there is always appropriate family and health-care professional support (Boland et al, 1999;Danne et al, 2008;DiMeglio et al, 2004). The results of the use of CIIS in pregestational diabetes have not been quite conclusive.…”
