Background: The Korean National Health Insurance Service has started reimbursing the cost of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in type 1 diabetes (T1D) in 2019. We investigated the effect of CGM use on glycemic control among Korean children, adolescents, and young adults with T1D in a real-world setting.Method: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of childhood-onset T1D patients aged < 30 years (n</em...

Objectives: We investigated the trajectories in hemoglobin A1C (A1C) levels among transition-aged patients (age from 15 to 22 years) with type 1 diabetes (T1D).Methods: Among the patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in pediatric age between 2001 and 2013 in Seoul National University Children’s Hospital, 119 patients (54 males and 65 females) with a diagnostic age for under 14 and measurement of A1C at least once...

Objective: To investigate whether the early-life overweight/obesity trajectory from ages 2, 4, to 8 affects insulin resistance (IR) in 8-year-old prepubertal children.Methods: From the Environment and Development of Children (EDC) cohort, 262 prepubertal children (147 boys and 115 girls) who visited Seoul National University Children’s Hospital for anthropometric measurements at ages 2, 4 and 8 were included. At ag...

Objective: We evaluated frequency and risk factors of delayed TSH elevation (dTSH) and investigated follow-up outcomes in the dTSH group with venous TSH (v-TSH) levels of 6–20 mU/L according to whether late preterm infants born at gestational age (GA) 35–36 weeks had risk factors.Methods: The medical records of 810 neonates (414 boys) born at Seoul National University Hospital who had a normal neonatal screenin...
