Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Risk in Childhood and Teen-age Onset Diabetes

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the main cause of death in patients with diabetes. Currently recognized ASCVD risk assessment models are limited to adults with diabetes, but for children and adolescents with diabetes, the pathological process of ASCVD can exist in early childhood and progress rapidly to subclinical ASCVD. To sum up, this study intends to evaluate the high risk rate of ASCVD calculated by the traditional QRISK3 model and its correlation with the occurrence of subclinical ASCVD events through long-term follow-up of the natural history of diabetes onset in children and adolescents, and to explore the models for the prediction of ASCVD risk in childhood and teen-age onset diabetes with different types. This study aims to help block the pathological process of ASCVD in early duration, thereby reducing the occurrence of ASCVD in childhood and teen-age onset diabetes.
