Severity of new-onset type 1 diabetes in children and adolescents during the coronavirus-19 disease pandemic.

Introduction: ß-pancreatic cells are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and replication; this could lead to infection-related diabetes or precipitate the onset of type 1 diabetes. This study aimed to determine the severity at diagnosis, analyzing clinical and epidemiological features at debut in children under 16 years of age in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Material And Methods: A retrospective observational multicenter study was carried out in 7 hospitals of the public health network located in the south of our community.
