What this research studies

This research focuses on monitoring and documenting newly diagnosed cases of type 1 and type 2 diabetes among youth under 18 years old in South Carolina. Using a novel two-step approach that leverages electronic health record data, the study aims to provide detailed insights into the incidence and prevalence of diabetes in this population. By analyzing data by age, sex, race/ethnicity, and diabetes type, the research seeks to inform healthcare systems and improve understanding of diabetes trends among youth. The study will run from 2020 to 2024, ensuring ongoing surveillance of diabetes cases.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include youth under 18 years of age who have been newly diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

Not a fit: Patients who are over 18 years old or those who do not have a diagnosis of diabetes will not benefit from this research.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved healthcare strategies and interventions for managing diabetes in youth.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have successfully documented diabetes trends in youth, indicating that this approach has a solid foundation.
