Implication

Pupillometry may detect subclinical autonomic neuropathy in diabetic children; leaves open its value for risk prediction or screening.

Structured PICO

Population

101 diabetic children and 102 age and sex matched control children in Avon County. Median age of the diabetic population was 13.5 years.

Comparator

102 age and sex matched control children

Outcome

Pupillary adaptation in darkness (pupillary diameter measured as the pupil/iris ratio and expressed as a percentage)surrogate
