| Abstract |
To evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in children/adolescents with type 1 diabetes in Taranaki compared to siblings without diabetes/chronic disease. The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQLTM) was requested in those with type 1 diabetes (n=67), their parent(s), and their siblings (where available). Age, gender, ethnicity, Deprivation Index, and clinical information were collected. Regression analysis was conducted to explore differences in HRQOL scores between diabetes patients and their siblings, adjusting for confounding factors. Predictive effects of aspects of diabetes on HRQOL were evaluated. 56 diabetes patients participated (84% response), and responses from 35 siblings were obtained. Exclusions (n=14) included those with type 1 diabetes for <6 months, type 2 diabetes, and other long-term medical or psychiatric conditions. Good level of agreement was found between parent-proxy and child report. There was no difference in HRQOL between the diabetes group and their siblings (mean -4.37, 95%CI [-10.67, 1.92]; p=0.17). Poorer diabetes control was associated with worse HRQOL (mean -0.32, 95%CI [-0.63, -0.01]; p=0.04). Surprisingly, HRQOL in children/adolescents with type 1 diabetes was similar to their siblings. This was encouraging as type 1 diabetes may not adversely affect HRQOL to the degree expected in Taranaki children. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 August 2016.
All research outputs
#16,725,651
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from New Zealand Medical Journal
#452
of 879 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#227,728
of 394,051 outputs
Outputs of similar age from New Zealand Medical Journal
#5
of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 879 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.9. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 394,051 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
