Abstract

To investigate long‐term mortality rates and causes of death in individuals diagnosed with type 1 diabetes before the age of 15 years during the period 1989‐2012 or known to paediatric diabetes teams in 1989, in Northern Ireland.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a cohort study, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
