Evaluation of Sublingual Microcirculation Using Sidestream Dark-Field Imaging in Children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus with Favorable Treatment Outcomes.
Evaluation of Sublingual Microcirculation Using Sidestream Dark-Field Imaging in Children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus with Favorable Treatment Outcomes.
The main goal of the study is to describe the sublingual microcirculation of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) with stable and satisfactory treatment of the disease and to compare it with previously measured parameters of healthy children, NCT05324228.
After recording the basic anthropometric parameters, pressure and pulse, each child who meets the inclusion criteria will have their microcirculation measured using a Sidestream Dark-Field (SDF) probe placed sublingually by one examiner using the SDF method. The measurement will be performed in supine position in a disease-free period, with normal diets, at least 2 hours after the last meal, for girls outside the menses period. Premedication or analgesia will not be used. A total of 3 video clips will be recorded from different parts of the sublingual area with a minimum length of 20 seconds in a row, unless the child needs a short break between measurements. The recorded videos will then be processed offline by one evaluator who is trained and experienced in microcirculation evaluation, three best and most stable parts of each video clip will be analysed.
