SARS-CoV-2 infections linked to increased incidence of new-onset type 1 diabetes in pediatric populations CWRUSOM SARSCoV2 COVID19 Diabetes Pediatrics
By Dr. Chinta SidharthanSep 27 2022Reviewed by Aimee Molineux A recent study published in JAMA Network Open explored the association of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection with an increase in new-onset type 1 diabetes incidences among coronavirus disease 2019 patients 18 years old and younger.
About the study In the present study, the researchers used the TriNetX Analytics Platform to obtain anonymous patients' health records from various demographic groups. The platform contains data from the Global Collaborative Network spanning 74 healthcare organizations from 50 U.S. states and 14 countries.
The researchers added two additional cohorts for the sensitivity analysis. These cohorts included children who were never diagnosed with COVID-19 during the study period but had 1) broken bones or 2) routine health care system encounters. The cohorts were matched in a 1:1 ratio according to demographic factors and family history of diabetes.
