“…At baseline and at 52 weeks, C-peptide levels were determined in fasting conditions. At the start of the study and at 24 and 52 weeks, children aged 8-18 years and the primary caregiver were asked to complete the DISABKIDS [10] and KIDSCREEN-27 [11,12] questionnaires to evaluate patient's health-related quality of life and caregiver's impression of patient's quality of life and own wellbeing assessed by the WHO-5 questionnaire [13]. 10 Bq/mmol) was used as the labelled antigen and in the GADA, IA-2A and ZnT8A assays antigens produced in house through in vitro transcription and translation were used.…”

Aims/hypothesis The value of managing children with type 1 diabetes using a combination of insulin pump and continuous glucose monitoring starting from diagnosis for improving subsequent glycaemic control and preserving residual beta cell function was determined. Methods A total of 160 children (aged 1-16 years, mean± SD: 8.7±4.4 years; 47.5% girls) were randomised to receive insulin pump treatment with continuous glucose monitoring or conventional self-monitoring blood glucose measurements. The primary outcome was the level of HbA 1c after 12 months. Other analyses included fasting C-peptide, glycaemic variability, sensor usage, adverse events, children's health-related quality of life and parent's wellbeing. Results HbA 1c was not significantly different between the two groups, but patients with regular sensor use had lower values (mean 7.1%, 95% CI 6.8-7.4%) compared with the combined group with no or low sensor usage (mean 7.6%, 95% CI 7.3-7.9%; p=0.032). At 12 months, glycaemic variability was lower in the sensor group (mean amplitude of glycaemic excursions 80.2 ± 26.2 vs 92.0 ± 33.7; p=0.037). Higher C-peptide concentrations were seen in sensor-treated 12-to 16-year-old patients (0.25±0.12 nmol/l) Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article

“…Existen tres versiones del instrumento: una de 52 ítems agrupados en 10 dimensiones, una de 27 ítems en 5 dimensiones y una versión de 10 ítems que entrega una única escala de resultados 11 . Para todas estas existen modalidades de autoreporte como también una versión para los padres o cuidadores 12 .…”

“…Estos cuestionarios son producto del proyecto KIDSCREEN, financiado por la Comisión Europea, formando parte del Quality of life and Management of living resources programme 10,13 . En esta investigación se utilizó el KIDS-CREEN-27, versión consistente en 27 ítems utilizados para medir 5 dimensiones que conforman la CV 11 . Este instrumento ha reportado propiedades psicométricas adecuadas en su versión en castellano para España 14 , en donde presentó una fiabilidad superior a 0,7 en las 5 dimensiones y en su utilización en población chilena 15 , en la cual el alfa de Cronbach de la escala total como de las distintas dimensiones fue superior a 0,70, con una estructura factorial similar a la teórica de cinco dimensiones y en donde el instrumento fue capaz de discriminar entre hombres y mujeres, así como entre rangos de edad, en los diferentes dominios.…”

Self-report of Quality of Life in School Age Children and AdolescentsBackground: Although quality of life has been incorporated as a comprehensive indicator of health status, there are no standards available. Objective: To report values that can be used as standards in clinical and public health areas. Methods: 1 678 children and adolescents (8 to 18 years old) were evaluated. They came from public, semiprivate and private schools in the city of Antofagasta (North of Chile) utilizing KIDSCREEN-27 questionnaire. Results: The study shows mean and decile values for each of the five domains assessed (physical wellbeing, psychological wellbeing, relationship with parents and autonomy, social support and peers, school environment) for gender, age range and type of school. Conclusion: Values were presented which can be used as standards for Chilean children and adolescents in the specified domains. In general, best quality of life was found among boys, younger age children, and those from private schools. These findings are similar to those reported in studies in Spain, utilizing the same instrument.
