Introduction: The Saudi National Diabetes Registry focuses mainly on adult patients. In 2020, the National Guard Health Authority (NGHA) launched the Saudi Pediatric and Youth Diabetes Registry (SPYDR), for children and adolescents with diabetes. We report on the first data and the challenges we faced during SPYDR initiation.
Methods: Patients were identified from the electronic medical records of the Saudi NGHA hospitals using International Classification of Disease (ICD-10). A trained coordinator verified the diagnosis and entered patients’ details into the registry and a random sample was validated by experienced endocrinologists. The data were analyzed according to patients’ demography, diabetes subtypes, duration, control, and complications. The challenges faced the team were identified and addressed.
Results: At the time of manuscript submission, 2344 individuals were enrolled. Their mean age at diagnosis was 9.08 (±4.27) years and 1,136 (48.46%) were females. Of these, 91.3% have type 1 (T1D) and 6.4% have type 2 diabetes (T2D). The mean HbA1c was 10.45% (±2.36) and duration of diabetes was 5.31 (±3.05) years. The main challenges includedCOVID-19 pandemic, data validation and centers’ participation. However, within 12 months of initiation enrolled subjects matched the expected number.
Conclusion: Despite the challenges, the first step of SPYDR was achieved. The initial data confirmed that T1D is the commonest form of childhood diabetes, and the frequency of T2D is comparable to regional and international data. SPYDR provides infrastructure to data sharing and national, regional and international collaborative research on childhood diabetes. The plan is to enroll more patients from other Saudi healthcare institutes.
