Prevalence of depression among young people with Type 1 diabetes: a systematic review
Abstract
Aims To determine: (1) prevalence of depression among young people with Type 1 diabetes compared with control groups or population norms; (2) implications of depression for HbA(1c) level; and (3) the relationship between history of depressive symptoms and future depressive symptoms. Background Among adults with Type 1 diabetes depression is higher than the general population, and has been associated with adverse implications for self-care and HbA(1c) level. The last published review of depression among young people with Type 1 diabetes only included studies up to 1999. Method Systematic searches were conducted for articles published from January 1999 to December 2011 including young people (up to 25 years old) with Type 1 diabetes. Results Twenty-three articles met the inclusion criteria. Of five studies that reported prevalence of depression compared with control groups, three found no differences. Of the three studies that investigated prevalence of depression making reference to population norms, all three showed higher rates of depressive symptoms. Fourteen of 15 studies found associations between more depressive symptoms and higher HbA(1c) level either cross-sectionally or longitudinally. Past depressive symptoms were associated with later depressive symptoms. Conclusions Current evidence is inconclusive about whether there is increased prevalence of depression among young adults with Type 1 diabetes, as established among adults, but those who are more depressed have hig…

In adolescence, glycemic control and type 1 diabetes self-care are usually suboptimal because of physiological, psychological, and social factors.
“During adolescence, glycemic control and T1DM self-care are typically suboptimal due to physiological (e.g., hormonal changes), psychological (e.g., search for independence and peer acceptance) and social (e.g., family conflict and peer pressure) factors”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
