Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Secondary analysis of Global Burden of Disease 2021 data

Authors' conclusion

The global burden of T1DM and CKD due to T1DM among children aged 0-14 years is facing new challenges, highlighting the urgent need to reinforce and develop more effective public health policies and clinical prevention strategies.

Study context

Population
Children aged 0–14 years with T1D or chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to T1D, globally, 1990–2021
Primary endpoint
Incidence, prevalence and DALYs of T1D and CKD due to T1D
Follow-up
1990 to 2021

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

  • T1D: global incidence number and age-standardized incidence rate increased
  • T1D: prevalence and age-standardized prevalence rate increased
  • T1D: age-standardized disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rate decreased
  • CKD due to T1D: age-standardized incidence, prevalence and DALYs rates decreased
  • Health inequality analysis: worsening of disparities among countries
