Journal Article
The association between pediatric mental health disorders and type 1 diabetes‐related outcomes
2022
Overview
Objective Transition from pediatric to adult healthcare systems is a difficult process for young adults with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and most patients experience a deterioration in disease control. Mental health (MH) disorders are common in individuals with T1D and are believed to play a role in disease control and transition of care. We evaluated the association between the presence of pediatric MH disorder and measures of success in diabetes care in young adults who recently transitioned to adult care. Research Design and Methods Retrospective cohort study of young adults in a large adult endocrinology system who transitioned from a pediatric hospital system after 2009. MH disorders were diagnosed by clinical pediatric psychologists during routine care at the pediatric hospital. Measurements of Hemoglobin A1c, diabetes‐related emergencies, clinic attendance and intervals in transition were assessed and compared between the pediatric and adult hospital systems. Results 237 young adults were identified and 100 (42%) of these were diagnosed with a MH disorder during pediatric care. Presence of a MH disorder was associated with higher Hemoglobin A1c levels prior to transition and increased rates of diabetes‐related hospitalizations during the transition interval. Patients with a MH disorder were less likely to establish a pattern of consistent follow up after transition (p = 0.021). Conclusions MH disorders are common and predict greater challenges with diabetes management and less effective transition into the adult endocrinology system. Early recognition of MH disorders may allow for allocation of more proactive and intensive support for affected patients.
