Abstract

OBJECTIVE—We sought to assess the long-term trends in the incidence of type 1 diabetes among non-Hispanic white and Hispanic youth aged 0–17 years from Colorado using data from the Colorado IDDM Study Registry (1978–1988) and SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth (2002–2004). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—Cases of diabetes were ascertained through physician reporting and hospital databases. Type 1 diabetes was defined as use of insulin within 2 weeks from diagnosis. Completeness of ascertainment was estimated as 97%. Annual average incidence rates (per 100,000/year) and 95% CIs for the time periods were computed. Trends in incidence were assessed by Poisson regression. RESULTS—The incidence of type 1 diabetes was 14.8 (95% CI 14.0–15.6) in 1978–1988 and 23.9 (22.2–25.6) in 2002–2004 for the state of Colorado (P < 0.0001). From 1978 to 2004, the incidence of type 1 diabetes increased by 2.3% (1.6–3.1) per year (P < 0.0001). The increase in incidence was significant for both non-Hispanic white (2.7% [95% CI 1.9–3.6] per year, P < 0.0001) and Hispanic youth (1.6% [0.2–3.1] per year, P = 0.013). CONCLUSIONS—The incidence of type 1 diabetes has increased 1.6-fold among Colorado youth from 1978–1988 to 2002–2004, and both non-Hispanic white and Hispanic youth are affected by this trend.

  • In Colorado, type 1 diabetes incidence was 14.8 per 100,000 per year (95% CI 14.0-15.6) in 1978-88 and 23.9 per 100,000 per year (95% CI 22.2-25.6) in 2002-04.

    “The incidence of T1D was 14.8/100,000 per year (95% CI 14.0–15.6) in 1978–88 and was 23.9/100,000 per year (95% CI 22.2–25.6) in 2002–04 for the state of Colorado.”

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.
