Monthly video consultation for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Aims: To explore the impact of primarily telemedical care for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes by monthly video consultations on metabolic control and parents' treatment satisfaction and disease-specific burden during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: In this 12-month multicenter observational follow-up VIDIKI 2.0 study, 100 participants (3-18 years) received monthly video consultations, which partially replaced quarterly outpatient clinic appointments during the pandemic.

Outcomes of monthly video consultations as an add-on to regular care for children with type 1 diabetes: A 6-month quasi-randomized clinical trial followed by an extension phase.

Objective: To explore the outcomes of monthly video consultations for children with diabetes.

Methods: The Virtual Outpatient Diabetes Clinic for Children and Youth (VIDIKI) was a 6-month multicenter controlled clinical trial followed by an extension phase. The 240 participants (1-16 years), all using a CGM, were quasi-randomized by residence location to the intervention group (IG) or the waitlist-control group (WG).

Predicting the optimal basal insulin infusion pattern in children and adolescents on insulin pumps.

Objective: We aimed at developing and cross-validating a mathematical prediction model for an optimal basal insulin infusion pattern for children with type 1 diabetes on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy (CSII).

Research Design And Methods: We used the German/Austrian DPV-Wiss database for quality control and scientific surveys in pediatric diabetology and retrieved all CSII patients <20 years of age (November 2009). A total of 1,248 individuals from our previous study were excluded (dataset 1), resulting in 6,063 CSII patients (dataset 2) (mean age 10.
