Type 1 diabetes

Adherence in Diabetes Questionnaire (ADQ) score as predictor of 11-year HbA1c trajectories in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes: A population-based longitudinal study

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Population-based longitudinal cohort study

Authors' conclusion

ADQ scores and socio-demographics may serve as tools to predict glycemic control in youth with type 1 diabetes.

Study context

Population
Children/adolescents with T1D (10–17 years at baseline), 2009 population-based cohort, Danish diabetes registries; HbA1c follow-up 2010–20205,644 HbA1c observations
Participants
671 participants
Exposure
HbA1c trajectory groups; baseline ADQ scores as predictors
Outcome
HbA1c trajectories and prediction of trajectory membership by caregiver- and child/adolescent-reported ADQ scores
Follow-up
11 years
Methodological detailsgroup-based trajectory modeling, multinomial logistic regression, registry-based
  • Group-based trajectory modeling
  • Multinomial logistic regression
  • Registry-based

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

HbA1c trajectory membership

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Socio-demographic predictors of trajectory membership

Low caregiver education predicted group 3 and 4 membership
Single-parent status predicted group 4 membership
