HbA1c and hypoglycemia ?

There was a significant
drop in the frequency
of severe hypoglycemia
(both requiring assistance
and coma)

Population-based cohort study conducted between January
2011 and December 2015 in 446 diabetes centers participating
in the Diabetes Prospective Follow-up Initiative in Germany,
Austria, and Luxembourg. Of 30 579 patients (mean age, 14.1
years [SD, 4.0]; 53% male), 14 119 used pump therapy
(median duration, 3.7 years) and 16 460 used insulin injections
(median duration, 3.6 years). Patients using pump therapy (n =
9814) were matched with 9814 patients using injection therapy
Registry data: Pumps
lower risk for
hypoglycemia and DKA

A unique patient identifier characterises each patient
- to follow the patient longitudinally
- to allow feedback on completeness and validity
- to allow feedback on study participation
Data are not personalized (no names, adresses,

Take home messages: Are European Kids Any
Different ?
• Also in Europe pediatric patients have particular difficulties
achieving good glycemic control
• Evidence linking interventions with health outcomes is the basis
for good health care decision making.
• Using national or international registry data like SWEET shows
how the widespread use of electronic health records allows
analysis of real world data, benchmarking and quality
improvement worldwide
• Eventually this may harmonize care and improve outcomes in
pediatric diabetes
