Key result
Patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes and autonomic dysfunction had a significantly longer QTc interval compared to those with normal autonomic function (435 ms vs 393 ms).
Absolute Event Rate: 435% vs 393%
p-value: p=<0.001
The correspondence highlights significant scientific and ethical disagreements regarding the experimental exposure of infants to hypoxia to study the risks of air travel and SIDS.
EDITOR—Naas et al found that the corrected QT (QTc) interval, QT dispersion, and QTc dispersion are accurate predictors of cardiac death in newly diagnosed non-insulin dependent diabetes.1 > QT interval is influenced by many factors, including electrolyte abnormalities, myocardial ischaemia, autonomic imbalance, and alcohol toxicity. Prolongation of the QT interval is related to the severity of autonomic neuropathy in patients with alcoholic and non-alcoholic liver disease.2 We studied 27 patients with newly diagnosed insulin dependent …

Kempler et al. (1998) conducted a letter in Newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes (n=27). Autonomic dysfunction (abnormal autonomic reflex test) vs. Normal autonomic function was evaluated on QTc interval (p=<0.001). Patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes and autonomic dysfunction had a significantly longer QTc interval compared to those with normal autonomic function (435 ms vs 393 ms).
