  27. Mortality

  28. Mortality • Short term mortality risk in youth with diabetes may be associated with quality of care as well as socio-demographic factors, including sex, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and access to health care. • Population-based studies from countries including the United Kingdom1,2, Italy3, Scandinavia4-6, Estonia and Lithuania7, and the United States8 all reported increased mortality for persons with youth-onset diabetes 1. Soedamah-Muthu SS et al. Diabetologia 2006; 2. Laing SP et al. Diabet Med 1999; 3. Bruno G et al. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2009; 4. Skrivarhaug T et al. Diabetologia, 2006; 5. Waernbaum I et al. Diabetologia 2006; 6. Dahlquist G et al. Diabetes Care 2005; 7. Podar et al. Diabetes Care 2000

  29. Mortality • The Chicago Childhood Diabetes Registry reported that the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) of youth diagnosed with diabetes at < 18 years compared to an age-matched population in Chicago yielded a SMR of 1.90 for African Americans and 3.37 for Latinos. • Their crude case fatality ratio was 2.4% based on 24 deaths among 1,238 persons with DM (385 Latino; 852 African American) after a mean follow-up of 7.75 years • DKA was the most frequent cause of death, while deaths from cardiovascular disease, infection, trauma, and other causes were also reported. Burnet DL et al. Diabetes Care 2007

  30. Sources of and Coverage for Health Care

  31. Providers for diabetes care: Peds Endos – 75.6% NP or PA – 12.4%* Adult Endos – 5.3% GP / PCP – 4.3% Other – 2.4% Health Insurance status at study visit: Private – 80.1% Medicaid – 16.6% Other – 1.6% None – 1.7% Who provides diabetes care? Among 2,743 youth with type 1 diabetes with a mean age of 13.2±4.5 years (75% NHW, 25% other race/ethnicity) *nurse practitioners and physician assistants were most often part of a multidisciplinary team with a pediatric endocrinologist Paris et al, J Peds, 2009

  32. Insurance Coverage • In SEARCH population, the percent uninsured is very low (<2%) • In the overall population, the percent of uninsured aged 6-17 years is 12% and in those aged 18-24 is 37%

  33. Percentage of individuals without health insurance among 1,488 individuals aged 2-64 years with diagnosed diabetes, NHANES 1999-2008 Do not cite

  34. Percentage of individuals without health insurance among 1,488 individuals aged 2-64 years with type 1 diabetes, NHANES 1999-2008 Do not cite a Type 1 diabetes is defined as early onset of diabetes less than 20 years old AND beginning insulin treatment within 1 year of diagnosis.

  35. Health Insurance Consumer Protections for This Year (that may apply to transition) • Children with pre-existing conditions can no longer be denied health insurance coverage. • Health care plans will allow young people to remain on their parents' insurance policy up until their 26th birthday. • Insurance companies will be banned from dropping people from coverage when they get sick, and from implementing lifetime caps on coverage. • Adults who are uninsured because of pre-existing conditions will have access to affordable insurance through a temporary subsidized high-risk pool.

  36. Transfer of Care

  37. Perceptions of Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes • Transition considered a negative experience • Fundamental differences in the approaches of pediatric and adult diabetes care • Critical/vulnerable time in the adolescent’s life • Personal life • Disease management • Need for support • Social • Medical • Psychological

  38. Perceptions of Adolescents (cont) • Importance of Continuity • Frustration with provider transition • Re-explaining their medical history multiple times • Feel as if they are being juggled • Need for better communication • Patient provider • Need to facilitate communication methods (e-mail, phone) • Need for Age Appropriate Information

  39. Patient Perspectives: Potential Solutions • Transition Timing • Adequate preparation for the patient • Suggest beginning 1 year before the switch • Bridging the gap between pediatric and adult care • Patient navigator or Case Manager • Knowledgeable of policy nuances • Facilitate transition • Could be a liaison between patient and system • Transition Clinics

  40. Perceptions of Health Care Providers • Concern for adolescent patient well-being • Decrease in clinic attendance • Concern over loss of patients completely • Deterioration in metabolic control • Patient assumption that metabolic control is better than it actually is • Frustrated by (their perception of) patient apathy

  41. Perception of Providers (cont) • Need for research • Strategies to prepare adolescents for transition • Clinical governance and guidelines on transition • Evidence-based transition programs • Need for advanced preparation for transition • Did not suggest a specific age

  42. Perception of Providers (cont) • Need for integrated care • Uninterrupted, comprehensive and accessible care • Structured transition process • Collaboration is important • Patient/provider • Pediatric/adult providers • Primary Care Provider/Specialists Patients Primary Care Providers Specialty Care Providers

  43. Issues related to substance abuse including alcohol and drugs Insurance coverage Strategies to prepare adolescents for transition Clinical governance and guidelines on transition Evidence-based transition programs Research Questions and Need for Additional Data
