dc.description.abstractBackground: The aims of the present study were to determine the frequency of delayed gastric emptying in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and to investigate the relationship between gastric emptying rate and other contributing factors (e.g. serum HbA1c, duration of diabetes and microalbuminuria) in these patients. Methods: This was a clinical trial evaluating the rate of gastric emptying of solid meals in 33 children and adolescents with T1DM and in 26 healthy peers using a radionuclide method. Three consecutive overnight urine collections were used to calculate the albumin excretion rate. Results: There was no significant difference in the gastric half-emptying time (GE t1/2) between patients and controls (151.7±154.5 vs 109.8±60.5min, respectively; P=0.885) or the frequency of delayed gastric emptying (36.4% vs 30.8%, respectively; P=0.433). There was a moderately positive correlation between GE t1/2 and the duration of diabetes (r=0.380; P=0.029). There was no correlation between GE t1/2 and microalbumin levels in T1DM patients. In these patients, the body mass index standard deviation scores were significantly lower than in patients with normal gastric emptying (-0.13±0.87 vs 0.7±1.23, respectively; P=0.044). Conclusion: Progression of delayed gastric emptying is more likely to be related to a longer duration of diabetes than glycemic control in children and adolescents with T1DM. Patients with delayed gastric emptying are thinner compared with patients with a normal rate of gastric emptying; they may also be asymptomatic. © 2013 Wiley Publishing Asia Pty Ltd and Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine.
