Study population: This study includes a cohort of type 1 diabetic patients, who originally were identified in 21 paediatric departments and studied in 1986. This group initially consisted of 1033 children and was estimated to involve around 80 percent of all Danish type 1 diabetic patients below the age of 18. In 1995 further examinations were performed on the cohort; this time 339 chose to participate. In this study we will invite the participants from 1995 who also participated in the eye examinations, n=324, to participate in yet another follow-up examination.

Who may be able to join

  • Participation in the follow-up study in 1995

Who cannot join

  • No retinal photographs from 1995

About this study

The objective of this study is to clarify the current diabetic status, including development of complications, in a nationwide cohort of type 1 diabetics, who were last examined together in a large study in 1995. These youngsters were originally participating in a nationwide study of children with type 1 diabetes in Denmark back in 1986. The investigators will try to establish risk factors for developing diabetic retinopathy. The investigators will have emphasis on retinal vessel geometry and the possibilities for early detection of reversible retinal changes, and prediction of other vascular complications.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of diabetic retinopathy and proliferative diabetic retinopathy

    Using the ETDRS grading protocol the degree of retinopathy in 2011 will be assessed by grading 7-field fundus photographs taken at follow-up examination. This will be related to the degree of retinopathy found in the patients in 1995, where the last study of the cohort took place.

    Measured: 16 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Vessel diameters as a predictor of diabetic retinopathy and proliferative diabetic retinopathy

    Using the computer software named IVAN we will assess the average vessel diameters around the optic disc on fundus photos from 1995. This we will relate to the degree of retinopathy in 2011 to see if vessel diameters predicts diabetic eye complications.

    Measured: 16 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes and Diabetic Retinopathy, run by Odense University Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of diabetic retinopathy and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (time frame: 16 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jul 2014.
