Objective: To investigate school absenteeism before the clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in children who develop the disease.
Research Design And Methods: This population-based, retrospective case-control study involved all Danish children who developed type 1 diabetes and attended public schools ( = 1,338) from 2010 to 2017. Those children were matched at a 1-to-5 ratio, on the basis of sex and date of birth, to children without diabetes ( = 6,690).
Aims/hypothesis: We aimed to examine the association of type 1 diabetes with school wellbeing among Danish children.
Methods: This is a population-based cohort study involving 436,439 Danish children, of which 1499 had a confirmed diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. The children were enrolled in grade levels 4 to 9 (middle school) in Danish public schools in the years 2014-2017.
Objective: To examine inequality in glycemic control by maternal educational level among children with type 1 diabetes in a setting with universal access to health care.
Research Design And Methods: This was a longitudinal nationwide study of 4,079 Danish children with type 1 diabetes between the years 2000 and 2013. Children were divided into four groups based on mothers' education prebirth (≤high school [ = 1,643], vocational or 2-year college [ = 1,548], bachelor's degree [ = 695], ≥master's degree [ = 193]).
Importance: Type 1 diabetes has been associated with cardiovascular disease and late complications such as retinopathy and nephropathy. However, it is unclear whether there is an association between type 1 diabetes and school performance in children.
Objective: To compare standardized reading and mathematics test scores of schoolchildren with type 1 diabetes vs those without diabetes.
