NEUROLOGICAL ABNORMALITIES IN CHILDREN WITH T1DM: NEUROLOGICAL ABNORMALITIES IN CHILDREN WITH T1DM

Objective: To find out the prevalence of neurological abnormalities in children between 5-15 years with type-1 DM of at least 2 years duration and the risk factors associated with the development of neurological abnormalities. Methods:Hospital based cross sectional study on 150 Children of 5 to 15 years age having type I diabetes of at least 2 years duration by simple random sampling fulfilling the inclusion criteria, at Department of Pediatric Medicine, Sardar Patel Medical College and P.B.M. Hospital Bikaner. Results: mean age was 10.9 ± 3.6 years, male to female ratio was 1.63:1. Prevalence of peripheral neuropathy was 42.3% when 1 abnormal attribute in atleast 1 nerve was considered, it was 7.3% when 2 abnormal attributes in 2 nerves was considered, 4.6% had autonomic neuropathy and 4% had cognitive abnormalities. The peripheral neuropathy was subclinical in substantial number of cases as up to 39.4% and 39.3% type 1 DM cases having peripheral neuropathy had normal Neuropathic symptom score and Neuropathic disability score respectively. Female, longer duration of diabetes, higher mean age of diagnosis, higher mean HbA1c level were significantly more likely to develop peripheral neuropathy. Conclusion: neurological complications begin quite early and insidiously in Type1DM patients highlighting the importance of early and regular screening by nerve conduction study
