| Abstract |
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of childhood Type 1diabetes mellitus (DM) on ocular parameters. Forty-six children with Type 1 DM without diabetic retinopathy (Group 1) and 76 healthy children (Group 2) were included in the study. Routine eye examinations and fundus photography were performed. Central corneal thickness (CCT), contract ultrasonic pachymetry and intraocular pressure (IOP) were measured. Retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness was measured in four separate quadrants. Central 1-mm foveal thickness (MRT) and minimum full retinal thickness at the foveal pit (MFRT) were measured with the same Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography. Data for the two groups were then compared. One hundred and thirty-five children were included. Mean CCT and IOP values did not differ significantly between the groups (p > 0.05). However, MRT (p < 0.05) and MFRT (p = 0.008) measurements in Group 1 were significantly lower compared to those in Group 2. No significant difference was determined between the groups in terms of mean, inferior, superior, nasal or temporal MFRT (p > 0.05). Variations may arise in IOP and CCT in children with Type 1 DM. Neurodegenerative processes in the retina may begin before the onset of diabetic retinopathy. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 12 July 2016.
All research outputs
#22,764,772
of 25,377,790 outputs
Outputs from West Indian Medical Journal
#179
of 224 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#280,470
of 319,301 outputs
Outputs of similar age from West Indian Medical Journal
#5
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,377,790 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 224 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% 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 319,301 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
