Key result
Childhood type 1 diabetes shows no difference in pancreas or kidney shear-wave velocity versus healthy controls.
Why the study?
Does type 1 diabetes alter pancreas and kidney elasticity measured by acoustic radiation force impulse elastography in children?
Population
60 autoantibody-positive children with type 1 diabetes and 32 healthy children
Comparison
Acoustic radiation force impulse ultrasound… vs Healthy control subjects
Design
Case-control

ARFI elastography detects no elasticity changes in normoalbuminuric pediatric T1D; leaves open its role for early detection and requires prospective validation.
Cross-Sectional (n=92)
No
Does type 1 diabetes alter pancreas and kidney elasticity measured by acoustic radiation force impulse elastography in children?
Absolute Event Rate: 0.99% vs 1.09%
p-value: p=0.08
Acoustic radiation force impulse elastography did not detect significant differences in pancreas or kidney elasticity between children with type 1 diabetes and healthy controls.
Sağlam et al. (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 1 diabetes (n=92). Type 1 diabetes vs. Healthy children was evaluated on Mean shear-wave velocity of the pancreas (p=0.08). Type 1 diabetes in children was not associated with significant differences in the shear-wave velocity of the pancreas (0.99 vs 1.09 m/s; p=0.08) or kidneys compared with healthy controls.
