RESUMEN
AIMS: To evaluate the prevalence of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) and its associated factors in Brazilian patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). METHODS: This cross-sectional, multicentre study was conducted in 14 public clinics in ten Brazilian cities. From 1760 patients, 1712 were included (97.3â¯%): 953 females (55.7â¯%), 930 (54.3â¯%) Caucasians, aged 29.9 ±11.9 years and with diabetes duration of 15.4 ± 9.2 years. CAN was evaluated using cardiovascular autonomic reflex tests. RESULTS: The prevalence of CAN was 23.4â¯%. Multivariable hierarchical logistic regression showed CAN associated with age, smoking, lower socioeconomic status, higher yearly medical appointments, insulin therapeutic regimens, higher levels of HbA1c, total cholesterol, uric acid, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate, presence of retinopathy, diabetic kidney disease and a tendency to be associated with severe hypoglycemia. Lower health-related quality of life was also found in univariate analysis in these patients. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with T1D presented an important prevalence of CAN that was associated with other diabetes-related chronic complications, and also with demographic, clinical and laboratorial traditional risk factors. Considering lack of formal policy, our data could be used for guiding public health approach to awareness and CAN's screening, diagnosis and clinical management in patients with T1D in Brazil.
RESUMEN
To investigate the potential relationship between HLA alleles and haplotypes and the age at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (T1DAgeD) in an admixed Brazilian population. This nationwide study was conducted in public clinics across 12 Brazilian cities. We collected demographic and genetic data from 1,600 patients with T1D. DNA samples were utilised to determine genomic ancestry (GA) and perform HLA typings for DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1. We explored allele and haplotype frequencies and GA in patients grouped by T1DAgeD categories (<6 years, ≥6-<11 years, ≥11-<19 years and ≥19 years) through univariate and multivariate analyses and primary component analyses. Additionally, we considered self-reported colour-race and identified a familiar history of T1D in first-degree relatives. The homozygosity index for DRB1~DQA1~DQB1 haplotypes exhibited the highest variation among T1DAgeD groups, and the percentages of Sub-Saharan African and European ancestries showed opposite trends in principal component analysis (PCA) analyses. Regarding the association of alleles and haplotypes with T1DAgeD, risk alleles such as HLA-DQB1*03:02g, -DQA1*03:01g, -02:01g, DRB1*04:05g and -04:02g were more frequently observed in heterozygosity or homozygosity in T1D patients with an early disease onset. Conversely, alleles such as DRB1*07:01g, -13:03g, DQB1*06:02g and DQA1*02:01 were more prevalent in older T1D patients. The combination DR3/DR4.5 was significantly associated with early disease onset. However, gender, GA, familiar history of T1D and self-reported colour-race identity did not exhibit significant associations with the onset of T1D. It is worth noting that the very common risk haplotype DRB1*03:01g~DQA1*05:01g~DQB1*02:01g did not differentiate between T1DAgeD groups. In the admixed Brazilian population, the high-risk haplotype DRB1*04:05~DQA1*03:01~DQB1*03:02 was more prevalent in individuals diagnosed before 6 years of age. In contrast, the protective alleles DQA1*01:02g, DQB1*06:02g, DRB1*07:01g and DRB1*13:03g and haplotypes DRB1*13:03g~DQA1*05:01g~DQB1*03:01g and DRB1*16:02g~DQA1*01:02g~DQB1*05:02g were more frequently observed in patients diagnosed in adulthood. Notably, these associations were independent of factors such as sex, economic status, GA, familiar history of T1D and region of birth in Brazil. These alleles and haplotypes contribute to our understanding of the disease onset heterogeneity and may have implications for early interventions when detected in association with well-known genomic risk or protection factors for T1D.

BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that can cause psychological stress. This study was conducted to perform the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the QSD-R for diabetic patients into Portuguese (Brazil). METHODS: This study was a cross-cultural adaptation process carried out in a public university in São Paulo, Brazil, in three stages: translation and backtranslation by two native-speaking independent professionals, analysis by a committee of specialists, and a pre-test phase. RESULTS: The final version was created by seven experts after making semantic, idiomatic, and cultural changes to eighteen items. The results indicated a satisfactory content validation index (CVI ≥ 0.80). This version was applied to 30 patients. No item was excluded from the instrument. CONCLUSION: The translated version of the QSD-R was considered adequate and culturally adapted for use in Brazil to enable the psychometric validation of the instrument.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: According to the Th1/Th2 paradigm, the expansion of Th1-type clones in individuals with type 1 diabetes results in reduced Th2-type clones, preventing the development of atopic diseases and vice versa. However, there is no consensus regarding the direct or inverse relationship between autoimmune and atopic diseases. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this scoping review was to examine the knowledge gap about the possibility of coexistence of asthma and type 1 diabetes and determine the prevalence of this association. METHODS: A scoping review was conducted, following the proposal of the Joanna Briggs Institute. The Population, Concept, and Context strategy was used to formulate the guiding question. The proposed question was: "What is the prevalence of asthma in people with T1DM?" After excluding duplicate articles, analyzing titles and abstracts, and excluding articles that did not answer the guiding question, 17 articles remained and were included in this review. RESULTS: Most of the articles selected conformed to the Th1/Th2 hypothesis, as the prevalence of asthma was lower in individuals with T1DM. However, similar or higher prevalence of asthma was found between cases and controls in few articles. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of asthma in people with T1DM ranged from 1.7% to 23.1%. Maybe the mechanisms that characterizes the Th1/Th2 paradigm aren't as simple as just the interaction of certain cytokines, since Th1-mediated autoimmune diseases and Th2- mediated atopy can coexist.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of autoimmune diseases (AIDs) and its associated factors in an admixed Brazilian population of patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The secondary one was to determine the relationship between AIDs and the occurrence of diabetes-related chronic complications (DRCC). METHODS: This cross-sectional, nationwide survey was conducted in 13 public clinics in 11 Brazilian cities. Overall, 1,760 patients were included; 967 females (55.9%), 932 (54%) Caucasians, aged 29.9 ± 11.9 years, age at diagnosis 14.8 ± 8.9 years, diabetes duration 15.5 ± 9.3 years and 12.2 ± 3.8 years of school attendance. AIDs were retrieved from medical records or self-report and stratified as follows: absence of AIDs, only autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), and other AIDs including the combination with AITD (hyper or hypothyroidism). RESULTS: The prevalence of AIDs was 19.5% being AITDs (16.1%), the most frequently found. A higher prevalence of hypertension, dyslipidemia and overweight or obesity was found in patients who had exclusively AITDs. A higher prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) was observed in patients with AITDs and patients with other AIDs in combination with AITDs. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) was more prevalent in patients with only AITDs. Lower levels of HbA1C, were observed in patients with isolated AITDs or with other AIDs, regardless of the presence of AITD. Hierarchical multivariate analysis, showed that AIDs were associated with female gender, older age, and longer diabetes duration, self-reported color-race (White and Brown), geographic region (Brazilian North/Northeast region) and higher anti-TPO levels (≥ 35 UI/ml). CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, Brazilian patients with T1D, belonging to a highly ethnically admixed population, had an important prevalence of AIDs, mostly AITDs, that was associated with female gender, self-reported color-race, older age and longer diabetes duration. Moreover, these patients also had a higher prevalence of DRCC. Even though we highlight the importance of investigating the presence of AIDs at diagnosis and at regular intervals, it is unclear whether screening and early detection of additional AIDs may improve the clinical outcomes in individuals with T1D. Future prospective studies are necessary to establish the interplay between T1D, AIDs and DRCC.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: Seasonal environment at birth may influence diabetes incidence in later life. We sought evidence for this effect and analyzed the association between the month of birth and the risk of developing type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). METHODS: This was a cohort study carried out with 814 patients diagnosed with T1DM in the region of Bauru - São Paulo State, Brazil, receiving medical care in a private Endocrinology clinic or in the public Brazilian National Health Care System, from 1981 to 2021. All live births that occurred in São Paulo State between 1974 and 2020 were classified by month of birth and were considered as the control group. RESULTS: We found no statistically significant difference (χ2=16.31, critical 19.68) between the month of birth and risk of developing T1DM, when comparing our patients with the background population of the region. There was no association between the month of birth, sex, age at diagnosis, duration of symptoms before diagnosis, self-reported color, and socioeconomic status. CONCLUSIONS: We found no association between month of birth and the risk of developing T1DM in this highly admixed South American population. Our data suggest that our population heterogeneity and geographic location may be important factors in the development of T1DM. Future prospective studies, evaluating environmental factors that may confer risk or protection to the disease, are warranted.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate, characterize and search for trends in the underreporting of diabetes mellitus (DM) as the cause of death in Bauru, São Paulo, Brazil, over 40 years. Subjects and methods This was a documental study. Clinical and mortality data were collected from individuals known to have type 1 (DM1) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), residing in Bauru, State of São Paulo, followed at a local endocrinology clinic from 1982 to 2021, who deceased during this period. Results A significant underreporting of DM as the cause of death (64.41%) was found, mostly associated with male gender (OR = 1.59 [95% CI: 1.18; 2.15]; p < 0.01), DM2 (OR = 2.64 [95% CI: 1.32; 5.26]; p < 0.01), dying in the first decade of the study (OR = 4.07 [95% CI: 1.54; 10.71]; p < 0.001) and shorter DM duration (OR = 1.02 [95% CI: 1.01; 1.04]; p < 0.01). Age, type of treatment, body mass index, marital status and ethnicity, did not show a significant association with DM underreporting. There was a decreasing trend in DM1 underreporting (Decade Percentual Change = -7.10 [95% CI: -11.35; -3.40]), but a stationary trend for DM and DM2. The main primary cause of death was cardiovascular-related complications. Conclusion The underreporting of DM as the cause of death was very frequently found, and was associated with male gender, decade of death, shorter DM duration and DM2. If our data could be applied to the whole country, DM would possibly emerge as a more prominent cause of death in Brazil. Future studies in other cities and geographic regions are warranted to confirm our findings.
RESUMEN
We aimed to identify HLA-DRB1, -DQA1, and -DQB1 alleles/haplotypes associated with European, African, or Native American genomic ancestry (GA) in admixed Brazilian patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This exploratory nationwide study enrolled 1599 participants. GA percentage was inferred using a panel of 46 ancestry informative marker-insertion/deletion. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis (ROC) was applied to identify HLA class II alleles related to European, African, or Native American GA, and showed significant (p < 0.05) accuracy for identifying HLA risk alleles related to European GA: for DRB1*03:01, the area under the curve was (AUC) 0.533; for DRB1*04:01 AUC = 0.558, for DRB1*04:02 AUC = 0.545. A better accuracy for identifying African GA was observed for the risk allele DRB1*09:01AUC = 0.679 and for the protective alleles DRB1*03:02 AUC = 0.649, DRB1*11:02 AUC = 0.636, and DRB1*15:03 AUC = 0.690. Higher percentage of European GA was observed in patients with risk haplotypes (p < 0.05). African GA percentage was higher in patients with protective haplotypes (p < 0.05). Risk alleles and haplotypes were related to European GA and protective alleles/haplotypes to African GA. Future studies with other ancestry markers are warranted to fill the gap in knowledge regarding the genetic origin of T1D in highly admixed populations such as that found in Brazil.

This review aimed to determine which are the indexes for early detection and evaluation of clinical and physiological deterioration of traumatized patients. A Scoping Review according to the methods proposed by Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) was performed from February 2018 to December 2018 on LILACS (Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde), National Library of Medicine (PubMed), and SCOPUS databases. Sixty-two studies were included, of which 43 evaluated patients with general trauma. A variety of physiological variables, such as Glasgow Coma Score, Glucose, Days in the Intensive Care Unit, Lactate, and predictor indexes - Injury Severity Score (ISS), Trauma Injury Severity Score (TRISS), Revisited Trauma Score (RTS), and APACHE II were identified. The values observed in the studies among patients were compared to the ones determined by the basic literature, being called Critical Values (CV). The group of gravity indexes, besides clinical and regulatory protocols, found in this review are the solidification of the healthcare process involving the traumatized patient's responses to the actions of the healthcare team. The analysis of these indexes must be emphasized to determine, with greater reliability, the prognosis of the patient. With these data, it may be possible to effectively predict mortality rates (AU).
O objetivo desta revisão é determinar os índices para detecção precoce e avaliação clínica e fisiológica para deterioração de pacientes do trauma. Conduziu-se uma revisão de escopo de acordo com os métodos propostos pelo Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) entre fevereiro de 2018 a dezembro de 2018 nas bases de dados LILACS (Literatura Latina-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde), National Library of Medicine (PubMed) e SCOPUS. Foram incluídos 62 estudos, dos quais 43 sobre trauma geral. Encontrou-se grande diversidade de variáveis fisiológicas, como Escala de Coma de Glasgow, Glicose, dias em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva, lactato e índices preditoresInjury Severity Score (ISS), Trauma Injury Severity Score (TRISS), Reviseted Trauma Score (RTS) e APACHE II. Os valores observados nos pacientes dos estudos encontrados foram comparados com os da literatura básica, sendo denominados Valores Críticos (CV). O grupo de índices de gravidade encontrados neste estudo, além de protocolos reguladores e clínicos, são a solidificação do processo de cuidado envolvendo a resposta das ações da equipe em saúde ao paciente de trauma. A análise desses índices deve ser enfatizada para determinar com maior confiabilidade o prognóstico do paciente. Com esses dados, pode ser possível predizer a taxa de mortalidade com maior acurácia (AU).

AIMS: To determine the prevalence of overweight/obesity and its relationship with metabolic syndrome (MS), fatty liver index (FLI), cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF), and diabetes-related chronic complications (DRCC) in adult patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). METHODS: This study was conducted in 14 Brazilian public clinics in ten cities, with 1,390 patients: 802 females (57.7%), 779 (56.0%) Caucasians, aged 33.6 ± 10.8 years, age at diagnosis, 16.2 ± 9.2 years, diabetes duration, 17.4 ± 9.2 years, and HbA1c 8.8 ± 2.0%. RESULTS: Overall, 825 patients (59.4%) had normal weight, and 565 had overweight/obesity; ( 429 (30.9%) presented overweight and 136 (9.8%) presented obesity). After adjustments, overweight/obesity was associated with age, family history of overweight/obesity, total daily insulin dose, hypertension, adherence to diet, type of health care insurance, use of metformin, levels of C-reactive protein, triglycerides, uric acid and HDL-cholesterol. These patients also presented a higher prevalence of MS, FLI ≥ 60, and CVRF than patients without overweight/obesity. Overweight/obesity was not associated with DRCC and with HbA1c levels. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with T1D with overweight/obesity presented traditional risk factors for DRCC, cardiovascular diseases, MS, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; most of these risk factors are modifiable and can be avoided with interventions that prevent overweight/obesity.
RESUMEN
Epidemiological evidence show that shift work can contribute to increased body weight. This study aims to map the prevalence of obesity and overweight among health professionals who work in shifts and analyse the factors that contribute to weight gain. A scoping review was conducted, following the proposal of the Joanna Briggs Institute. The Population, Concept, and Context strategy was used to formulate the guiding question. The proposed question was: "What is the prevalence of overweight and obesity among health professionals with shift work schedules?" After excluding duplicate articles, analysing titles and abstracts, and excluding articles that did not answer the guiding question, 20 articles remained and were included in this review. The studies have shown that the main factors that could influence weight gain among health professionals that are shift workers, are hormonal dysregulation, eating unhealthy meals, and low rates of physical activities practice. This scoping review showed that shift work can be an important risk factor for the development of overweight and obesity among these professionals. This implies the need of developing and implementing health policies aimed at reducing the excessive exposure of these workers to shift schedules and encouraging healthier and long-lasting changes in their lifestyles, both at workplace and outside of it.

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the factors associated with hypoglycemia and severe hypoglycemia (SH) in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) in Brazil. Materials and methods: This multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted between August 2011 and August 2014 across 10 Brazilian cities. The data were obtained from 1,760 individuals with T1D. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics related to hypoglycemic events in the previous 4 weeks were evaluated. Results: Of 1,760 individuals evaluated, 1,319 (74.9%) reported at least one episode of hypoglycemia in the previous 4 weeks. The main factors associated with hypoglycemia were lower hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level, better adherence to self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), and higher education level. Episodes of SH were reported by 251 (19%) individuals who, compared with subjects with nonsevere hypoglycemia, received lower doses of prandial insulin and higher doses of basal insulin, in addition to reporting less frequent use of long-acting basal insulin analogs. The percentage of SH episodes was evenly distributed across all ranges of HbA1c levels, and there were no correlations between the mean number of nonsevere or severe hypoglycemic events and HbA1c values. Higher alcohol consumption and more frequent hospitalizations were independently associated with SH. Conclusion: Although individuals presenting with hypoglycemia had lower HbA1c values than those not presenting hypoglycemia, there were no correlations between the number of nonsevere hypoglycemia or SH and HbA1c values. Also, the frequency of SH was evenly distributed across all ranges of HbA1c values. Better adherence to SMBG and higher education level were associated with hypoglycemia, while alcohol consumption, higher doses of basal insulin, and more frequent hospitalizations in the previous year were associated with SH.
RESUMEN
ABSTRACT Congenital malformations are more frequently found among children born to mothers with diabetes than in the background population. There are several complex mechanisms involved in the development of congenital malformations in the offspring of mothers with hyperglycemia, such as the overexpression of glucose transporters (GLUTs) 1 and 2, the increased activity of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway and the reduced expression of the PAX3 gene with a consequent increase in p53 protein expression. These alterations can lead to increased glucose and free radical concentrations in the embryo, thus promoting the process of apoptosis and causing malformation. The most frequent malformations found in the offspring of mothers with diabetes are heart and neural tube defects, urinary tract and kidney malformations, and cleft lip with or without cleft palate. Strict glycemic control should be obtained before and during pregnancy, aiming to avoid or minimize the risk of congenital malformations in the offspring. Beyond hyperglycemia, several factors may also be associated with increased risks of malformations in the offspring of these women, such as obesity, multiple pregnancies, advanced maternal age, folic acid deficiency, use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, assisted reproduction techniques, and exposure to different types of environmental pollutants.

Objective: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) causes maternal and infant morbidity. Periodontitis is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate periodontal status, prematurity and associated factors in pregnant women with and without GDM. Methods: This observational cross-sectional study included 80 pregnant women with GDM (G1 = 40) and without GDM (G2 = 40). Demographic and socioeconomic status, systemic and periodontal health condition, prematurity and newborns' birth weight were analyzed. For bivariate analysis, Mann-Whitney U-test, t test and Chi-squared test were used. Binary logistic regression analyzed independent variables for periodontitis and prematurity (p < 0.05). Results: Patients from G1 presented lower socioeconomic status, higher weight and body mass index (BMI). Prematurity (G1 = 27.5%; G2 = 2.5%; p < 0.05) and severe periodontitis percentages (G1 = 22.5%; G2 = 0; p = 0.001) were higher in G1 than in G2. Logistic regression analysis showed that household monthly income (OR = 0.65; 95% CI 0.48-0.86; p = 0.003) and maternal BMI (adjusted OR = 1.12; 95% CI 1.01-1.25; p = 0.028) were significant predictors of periodontitis during the third trimester of pregnancy. Presence of GDM remained in the final logistic model related to prematurity (adjusted OR = 14.79; 95% CI 1.80-121.13; p = 0.012). Conclusion: Pregnant women with GDM presented higher severity of periodontitis, lower socioeconomic status, higher overweight/obesity and a 10-fold higher risk of prematurity. Socioeconomic-cultural status and BMI were significant predictors for periodontitis, and GDM was a predictor to prematurity.

BACKGROUND: To determine the prevalence of overweight/obesity and associated risk factors in Brazilian adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and its association with diabetic retinopathy (DR) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS: This study was performed in 14 Brazilian public clinics in ten cities, with 1,760 patients. 367 were adolescents (20.9%):184 females (50.1%), 176 (48.0%) Caucasians, aged 16.4 ± 1.9 years, age at diagnosis 8.9 ± 4.3 years, diabetes duration 8.1 ± 4.3 years, school attendance 10.9 ± 2.5 years and HbA1c 9.6 ± 2.4%. RESULTS: 95 (25.9%) patients presented overweight/obesity, mostly females. These patients were older, had longer diabetes duration, higher levels of total and LDL-cholesterol, higher prevalence of family history of hypertension, hypertension, undesirable levels of LDL-cholesterol, and metabolic syndrome compared to eutrophic patients. No difference was found regarding ethnicity, HbA1c, uric acid, laboratorial markers of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transferase). CONCLUSIONS: Almost one quarter of our patients presented overweight/obesity. These patients had higher prevalence of traditional risk factors for micro and macrovascular diabetes-related chronic complications such as diabetes duration, hypertension, high levels of LDL-cholesterol and metabolic syndrome. The majority of the patients with or without overweight/obesity presented inadequate glycemic control which is also an important risk factor for micro and macrovascular diabetes-related chronic complications. No association was found between overweight/obesity with diabetic CKD, DR and laboratorial markers of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The above-mentioned data point out that further prospective studies are urgently needed to establish the clinical prognosis of these young patients.
RESUMEN
AIMS: To investigate the prevalence of diabetes-related chronic complications (DRCCs) and its associated factors in Brazilian adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). METHODS: This nationwide study was conducted in 14 public clinics in 10 cities, with 1,760 patients, 367 adolescents, with 328 eligible for this study. Evaluated DRCCs were retinopathy (DR), chronic kidney disease (CKD), peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN). RESULTS: Among eligible patients, 184 were females (50.1%), age range 13-19 years, HbA1c 9.6% ± 2.4, aged 8.9 ± 4.3 years at diagnosis and diabetes duration of 8.1 ± 4.3 years. 103 (31.4%) patients presented any type of DRCC. CKD was found in 46 (14.0%), CAN in 41(12.5%), DR in 28 (8.5%) and DPN in 16 (4.9%) patients. One, two or three DRCCs were observed in 79 (24.1%), 19 (5.8%) and 5 (1.5%) patients, respectively, and were associated with longer diabetes duration, higher HbA1c and diastolic blood pressure levels (dBP), use of renin angiotensin inhibitors and lower adherence to diet. CONCLUSIONS: A high percentage of patients presented some kind of DRCC, associated with diabetes duration, glycemic control, dBP, adherence to diet. Educational programs should start from the diagnosis to avoid DRCCs in this young population.
