Insights
Epidemiological studies show a global rise in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) among children. In Russia, the State Register of SD (GDSD) monitors T1DM to improve pediatric diabetes care.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Endocrinology
- Epidemiology
- Public Health
Context:
- Global incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in children is increasing.
- The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) reports 430,000 children with diabetes worldwide, with a 3% annual growth.
- Epidemiological studies in the Russian Federation are relatively recent, with the State Register of SD (GDSD) established in 1996.
Purpose:
- To monitor key epidemiological indicators of T1DM in the pediatric population of the Russian Federation.
- To assess the epidemic situation of T1DM across different regions of Russia.
- To evaluate the quality of medical and preventive care for children with diabetes.
Summary:
- The GDSD facilitates objective assessment of the T1DM epidemic in Russia, aiding in predicting incidence rates.
- Analysis of T1DM incidence and prevalence in Russian children has been conducted since 2001 by the Institute of Pediatric Endocrinology.
- Monitoring T1DM is crucial for organizing effective medical and preventive care and planning improvements for the pediatric diabetes service.
Impact:
- Provides data for informed public health strategies and resource allocation in pediatric diabetes care.
- Enables prediction of T1DM incidence, supporting proactive healthcare planning.
- Contributes to improving the overall effectiveness of the children's diabetes service in the Russian Federation.
Abstract:
Over the past 10 years, the results of epidemiological studies in different countries indicate an increase in the incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) among children. According to IDF, currently 430,000 children with diabetes are registered in the world. Annual growth is 3%. In 2003, 65,000 new cases of diabetes were reported. In the Russian Federation, epidemiological studies have begun relatively recently. In 1996, the State Register of SD (GDSD) was created. Monitoring of the main epidemiological indicators of type 1 diabetes in the children's population of the Russian Federation is an integral part of the organization of medical and preventive care for children. GDSD allows you to objectively assess the epidemic situation in Russia, individual federal districts and regions located in different geographical areas, to assess the quality of the provision of medical and preventive care to children, to predict the incidence rate and to plan measures aimed at improving the effectiveness of the children's diabetes service. Since 2001, the Institute of Pediatric Endocrinology of the State Research Center of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences has been analyzing the incidence and prevalence of type 1 diabetes in children in the Russian Federation using specially designed questionnaires.
