Prevalence and Incidence of Complications of Type One Diabetes in PUne At a Tertiary Care CentRE

Sponsor: Kem Hospital, Pune, India

Summary

Due to early diagnosis (\<20yrs of age) of Type 1 Diabetes, patients face longer duration of disease and greater glycemic exposure which makes them more vulnerable towards chronic complications. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence and incidence of micro and macro-vascular, pulmonary complications and patterns of growth failure in approximately 500 Type 1 Diabetes patients enrolled at Diabetes Unit, King Edward Memorial Hospital Research Centre. Then follow up of 100 participants who are above 15 years of age at baseline will be done after 2 years to document incidence and progression of complications. This will contribute in assessing the public health burden of complications of Type 1 Diabetes. Factors associated with prevalence of complications will be investigated. This risk factor analysis could aid in further modifying current prevention and treatment recommendations of these complications. Results of this study could modify current clinical practice.

Official title: A Study to Assess Prevalence and Incidence of Long-term Complications of Type 1 Diabetes in a Tertiary Clinic in Pune.
