Myanmar Pediatric Diabetes Guidelines

This study examined the transition of young people with diabetes from pediatric to adult care in Auckland, New Zealand between 2006-2013. They found a 96% capture rate of young people into adult clinics, and 88% were captured and retained in clinics over 5 years. Those engaged in the transition program had lower HbA1c levels than those who were not engaged. Areas that need improvement are metabolic control for non-Europeans and those in lower socioeconomic groups before and during the transition to adult care. The study demonstrates that a structured transition program can help achieve high attendance rates during diabetes care transfer.

Greater Auckland region ~1.5million

Capture >95% all children and young people with


diabetes

Geographically spread (>70K north to south)

Ethnically diverse

Mod-high rate of type 1 diabetes ~25-30/100,000

Background: Adolescent
service

Previous ad-hoc adolescent clinic defunct in 2004-5

Disjointed, after hours and off-site


No continuity of care
Paed patients decanted into this at 14 years
Ended at 19 with no set transfer out
Most transfer out with a DNA

Need for a formal service from 2005 on.


Transfer out occurred from 2006

A Transfer/Handover Model

2 year Sequential Transition Model within a


developmental youth health context

Fixed end point for transfer of care 16-17 yrs

Objectives

Capture rates
To examine the capture rates of young people transitioned
from the Starship Adolescent Diabetes Service

Metabolic control
To examine HbA1c between those who engaged or not

Other measures
Ethnicity and social deprivation within the transitioning
population

Results

322 young people transferred through

Sept 2006 to Jan 2013.


96% rate of capture of all the young people into at least
one Young Adult Clinic.

88% of the young people were captured and retained in


clinics from the whole period of transition to age 21.

Results: Adult capture

Of the 308/322 captured into adult services,


80% were captured within 6 months.

No difference in capture related to dep score (p = 0.9).

No difference in capture related to Ethnicity (p = 0.20).

Results: metabolic

Those engaged in the transition programme were more


likely to have lower HbA1c than those who did not engage
(p=0.007)

The more deprived young people had higher HbA1c scores


(p=0.0001).

The Maori and Pacific Island populations had higher HbA1c


(p=0.0001).

Conclusion

The Starship transitional programme/ adult regional


model is helping achieve a high rate of attendance
in transition

Major geographical changes between paediatric and


adult clinics do not affect capture rates across
Auckland

Areas of real need are improving metabolic control


before and during transfer in Non-Europeans and in
those of low socio-economic status
