Key result
Type 1 diabetes in a Hispanic pediatric population was associated with significantly higher carotid intima-media thickness compared to healthy controls (0.463 vs. 0.441 mm; P=0.001).

Does type 1 diabetes increase carotid artery intima-media thickness in a Hispanic pediatric population compared to healthy controls?
Absolute Event Rate: 0.463% vs 0.441%
p-value: p=0.001
Type 1 diabetes in pediatric patients is associated with early subclinical vascular changes, including increased carotid intima-media thickness and decreased flow velocities.
Rodriguez et al. (2007) conducted a case-control in Type 1 diabetes (n=99). Type 1 diabetes vs. Healthy control subjects was evaluated on Carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT) (p=0.001). Type 1 diabetes in a Hispanic pediatric population was associated with significantly higher carotid intima-media thickness compared to healthy controls (0.463 vs. 0.441 mm; P=0.001).
