Abstract
Childhood obesity has increased to epidemic levels and is considered a public health problem due to its association
with a number of metabolic abnormalities, which are being detected at earlier stages of life. The objective was to
evaluate the association between the presence of subclinical metabolic abnormalities (SMA) and obesity in a sample of
pre-pubertal Mexican schoolchildren. Children of both sexes and 6 to 13 years old were questioned for signs of puberty,

Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common metabolic disorder that can cause various complications including, peripheral neuropathy
(PNP). Some possible risk-factors such as blood glucose level, hyperglycemia, duration of diabetes, and lipid profiles are
assumed to be important in diabetic PNP incidence. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence and possible risk-factors of
PNP in children with insulin dependent DM.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Among diabetic children, 146 patients (up to 18-years old) were evaluated in this cross-sectional study. All patients were
examined for signs and symptoms of neuropathy and nerve conduction studies were performed. Blood level of glucose and lipid
profiles were also tested. The relation between variables was compared by independent t-test and logistic regression test.
RESULTS:
The mean age of diabetic children was 11.9 3.3 years whereas mean diabetes duration was 3.8 2.9 years. PNP was detected
in 40 patients (27.4%) that 62.5% of them have subclinical and 37.5% have clinical neuropathy. According to logistic regression
analysis, duration ofdiabetes was the most important factor in prevalence of PNP (5.7 3.5 and 3.1 2.5 years in patients with
and without neuropathy respectively, P < 0.001, 95% confidence interval [1.15-1.54]).
CONCLUSION:
As most of the patients had subclinical PN, neurological assessment is recommended to detect subclinical neuropathy in
asymptomatic type 1 diabetic children and it seems that the best way to prevent this complication is still rigid blood glucose control
and periodic evaluations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION:
Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are common infections occurring in ambulatory and inpatient settings. The extent
ofcomplications associated with these infections by diabetes status is not well established.
METHODS:
Using a very large repository database, we examined medical and pharmacy claims of individuals aged 0-64 between 2005 and
2010 enrolled in U.S. health plans. Diabetes, SSTIs, and SSTI-associated complications were identified by ICD-9 codes. SSTIs
were stratified by clinical category and setting of initial diagnosis.
RESULTS:
We identified 2,227,401 SSTI episodes, 10% of which occurred in diabetic individuals. Most SSTIs were initially diagnosed in
ambulatory settings independent from diabetes status. Abscess/cellulitis was the more common SSTI group in diabetic and nondiabetic individuals (66% and 59%, respectively). There were differences in the frequencies of SSTI categories between diabetic
and non-diabetic individuals (p<0.01). Among SSTIs diagnosed in ambulatory settings, the SSTI-associated complication rate was
over five times higher in people with diabetes than in people withoutdiabetes (4.9% vs. 0.8%, p<0.01) and SSTI-associated
hospitalizations were 4.9% and 1.1% in patients with and without diabetes, respectively. Among SSTIs diagnosed in the inpatient
setting, bacteremia/endocarditis/septicemia/sepsis was the most common associated complication occurring in 25% and 16% of
SSTIs in patients with and without diabetes, respectively (p<0.01).
CONCLUSIONS:
Among persons with SSTIs, we found SSTI-associated complications were five times higher and SSTI-associated hospitalizations
were four times higher, in patients with diabetes compared to those without diabetes. SSTI prevention efforts in individuals
with diabetes may have significant impact on morbidity and healthcare resource utilization.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS:
We investigated the long-term impact of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at onset on metabolic regulation and residual beta cell
function in a Danish population with type 1 diabetes.
METHODS:
The study is based on data from DanDiabKids, a Danish national diabetes register for children. The register provides clinical and
biochemical data on patients with type 1 diabetes diagnosed in 1996-2009 and then followed-up until 1 January 2012. Repeatedmeasurement models were used as statistical methods.
RESULTS:
The study population comprised 2,964 children <18 years. The prevalence of DKA at diagnosis was 17.9%. Of the total subjects,
8.3% had mild, 7.9% had moderate and 1.7% had severe DKA. DKA (moderate and severe) was associated with increased
HbA1c (%) levels (0.24; 95% CI 0.11, 0.36; p = 0.0003) and increased insulin dose-adjusted HbA1c (IDAA1c, 0.51; 95% CI 0.31,
0.70; p < 0.0001) during follow-up, after adjustment for covariates. Children without a family history of diabetes were more likely to
present with DKA (19.2% vs 8.8%, p < 0.0001); however, thesechildren had a lower HbA1c (%) level over time (-0.35; 95% CI 0.46, -0.24; p < 0.0001). Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) was associated with a long-term reduction in HbA1c,
changing the effect of DKA, after adjustment for covariates (p < 0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION:
DKA at diagnosis was associated with poor long-term metabolic regulation and residual beta cell function as assessed by HbA1c
and IDAA1c, respectively; however, CSII treatment was associated with improvement in glycaemic regulation and residual beta
cell function, changing the effect of DKA at onset in our population.
