Low Incidence of End-Stage Renal Disease in Childhood-Onset Type 1 Diabetes Followed for Up to 42 Years.

Diabetes Care 2018 March
OBJECTIVE: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is one of the most severe complications in type 1 diabetes. We aimed to estimate the cumulative incidence of ESRD in individuals with childhood-onset type 1 diabetes followed for up to 42 years.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Data were based on the nationwide, population-based Norwegian Childhood Diabetes Registry and included case patients with new-onset type 1 diabetes (age <15 years) who had received a diagnosis during the periods 1973-1982 and 1989-2012. Follow-up took place until the development of ESRD, death, emigration, or 30 November 2015. We estimated the cumulative incidence of ESRD by linking to the Norwegian Renal Registry.

RESULTS: Among the 7,871 patients, representing 147,714 person-years of follow-up, ESRD developed in 103 individuals (1.3%). The mean time from the diagnosis of diabetes to the development of ESRD was 25.9 years (range 12.7-39.1). The cumulative incidence of ESRD was 0.7% (95% CI 0.4-1.0) at 20 years' diabetes duration, 2.9% (2.3-3.7) at 30 years' duration, and 5.3% (4.3-6.5) at 40 years' duration. The risk of the development of ESRD was lower in women than in men (hazard ratio [HR] 0.61; 95% CI 0.41-0.91) and higher in individuals in whom diabetes had been diagnosed at 10-14 years of age compared with those in whom it was diagnosed before 10 years of age (HR 1.29; 1.06-1.56). We did not identify any significant difference in the risk of the development of ESRD between those in whom diabetes was diagnosed in 1973-1982 and in 1989-2012 (HR 0.80; 0.45-1.45).

CONCLUSIONS: We report a very low incidence of ESRD among patients with childhood-onset diabetes in Norway. The risk was lower in women compared with men and in individuals in whom diabetes was diagnosed at a younger age.
