Long-term Impact of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Assistance on Glycemic Control in Children and Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Following the 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquake.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) assistance on glycemic control in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in earthquake-affected regions, comparing those who benefited from CGM with those who did not. Additionally, the study assessed changes in CGM metrics over nine months of CGM use.

Methods: A multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted across 11 centers in Türkiye.

Evaluation of vitamin D levels in children and adolescents after the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic: 1-year results of a secondary-level state hospital.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic caused a global public health problem with high morbidity and mortality rates. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) status of patients presenting to the Pediatrics Department of Gaziantep Maternity and Children's Hospital in the 1-year period after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic according to ethnicity, age, and gender.

Method: This cross-sectional study included the data of 7640 patients whose 25(OH)D levels were assessed at our hospital between March 2021 and March 2022.

Effect of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Device Assistance on Glycemic Control of 2023 Kahramanmaraş Doublet Earthquake Survivors with Type 1 Diabetes in Adana, Turkey.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the devastating 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake on the glycemic control of children with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) in Adana, Turkey. Additionally, the study aimed to assess the impact of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device assistance on glycemic control after the earthquake.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted involving 134 children with T1DM receiving intensive insulin treatment.

Increased Severe Cases and New-Onset Type 1 Diabetes Among Children Presenting With Diabetic Ketoacidosis During First Year of COVID-19 Pandemic in Turkey.

Introduction: There have been some significant changes regarding healthcare utilization during the COVID-19 pandemic. Majority of the reports about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on diabetes care are from the first wave of the pandemic. We aim to evaluate the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the severity of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and new onset Type 1 diabetes presenting with DKA, and also evaluate children with DKA and acute COVID-19 infection.

The utility of annual growth velocity standard deviation scores and measurements of biochemical parameters in long-term treatment monitoring of children with 21-hydroxylase deficiency.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the utility of annual growth velocity (GV) standard deviation scores (SDSs) and compatibility and effectiveness of biochemical parameters in long-term treatment monitoring and management of 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) in children.

Methods: Fifty children with 21-OHD were included in this study, and the biochemical parameters obtained during 402 visits were retrospectively evaluated. The follow-up period was divided between two GV SDS groups (GV SDS < 2 and GV SDS ≥ 2) and compared with auxological, biochemical, and clinical findings.

Changes in the presentation of newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes in children during the COVID-19 pandemic in a tertiary center in Southern Turkey.

Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic is a global health problem with high morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to investigate patients who were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes during the pandemic and evaluate the effect of the pandemic on the clinical findings of these patients by comparing them with findings from a year prior.

Methods: Patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus between 2019 and 2021 were separated into two groups: Patients diagnosed prepandemic and those diagnosed during the pandemic.

Mutations Within the Transcription Factor in a Cohort of Turkish Patients with Combined Pituitary Hormone Deficiency.

Objective: Mutations of the genes encoding transcription factors which play important roles in pituitary morphogenesis, differentiation and maturation may lead to combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD). gene mutations are reported as the most frequent genetic aetiology of CHPD. The aim of this study was to describe the phenotypes of Turkish CPHD patients and define the frequency of mutations.
