Journal ArticleDOI

Christopher Cardwell,Lars C. Stene,Geir Joner,Ondrej Cinek,Jannet Svensson,Michael J Goldacre,Roger C Parslow,Paolo Pozzilli,Girts Brigis,Denka Stoyanov,B. Urbonaite,Sandra Sipetic,Edith Schober,Constantin Ionescu-Tirgoviste,G. Devoti,C De Beaufort,Karsten Buschard,Christopher Patterson +17 more
TL;DR: This analysis demonstrates a 20% increase in the risk of childhood-onset type 1 diabetes after Caesarean section delivery that cannot be explained by known confounders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Christopher Patterson,Éva Gyürüs,Joachim Rosenbauer,Ondrej Cinek,Andreas Neu,Edith Schober,Roger C Parslow,Geir Joner,Jannet Svensson,C. Castell,Polly J. Bingley,E. J. Schoenle,Przemysława Jarosz-Chobot,B.

TL;DR: The incidence rate of childhood type 1 diabetes continues to rise across Europe by an average of approximately 3–4% per annum, but the increase is not necessarily uniform, showing periods of less rapid and more rapid increase in incidence in some registers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early mortality in EURODIAB population-based cohorts of type 1 diabetes diagnosed in childhood since 1989
Christopher Patterson,Gisela Dahlquist,Valma Harjutsalo,Geir Joner,Richard G. Feltbower,Jannet Svensson,Edith Schober,Éva Gyürüs,C. Castell,B. Urbonaite,Joachim Rosenbauer,Violeta Iotova,Arni V Thorsson,Gyula Soltész +13 more
TL;DR: Before the onset of late complications, significant excess mortality existed following the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in childhood, even in recent years, and Variation between countries in this excess could not be explained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stene,Johnny Ludvigsson,Joachim Rosenbauer,Ondrej Cinek,Jannet Svensson,Francisco Pérez-Bravo,Anjum Memon,Suely Godoy Agostinho Gimeno,Emma Jane Kirsty Wadsworth,Elsa S.

Benson,Erkki Savilahti,Anne-Louise Ponsonby,Mona Salem,Samira Rabiei,Christopher Patterson +34 more
TL;DR: The pooled analysis suggests weak protective associations between exclusive breast-feeding and type 1 diabetes risk, however, these findings are difficult to interpret because of the marked variation in effect and possible biases (particularly recall bias) inherent in the included studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
