1511-P: In Canadian Adults Living with Type 1 Diabetes, Additional Autoimmune Diseases Are Associated with More Chronic Complications and Depression
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction and Objective: People living with type 1 diabetes (pwT1D) are at risk for micro and macrovascular complications, mental health issues, as well as higher risk for additional autoimmune diseases (AD+). We aimed to understand the association between additional ADs and T1D related physical and mental burdens in Canadian adults. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study using data from the BEhaviors, Therapies, TEchnologies, and hypoglycemic Risk in T1D (BETTER) registry of adults (≥18 years) living with T1D. We compared reported prevalence of micro and macrovascular complications, hypoglycemia, and mental health questionnaire (PHQ-9 and DDS) scores between those with T1D alone and T1D with AD+. Results: Our study included 3222 participants (66.2% female, age 42.7 +/-15.0 years); 36.3% of respondents reported ≥1 additional AD and this AD+ group was older (+4.4 years) with a higher percentage of females (77.5%). pwT1D from AD+ group had similar HbA1c (p=0.20) but were more likely to report hypoglycemia: level 2 in the past month (OR: 1.27 [95%Cl 1.06-1.52]) and level 3 hypoglycemia (1.22 [1.05-1.42]) since diagnosis. The presence of additional ADs was associated with more chronic complications (cardiovascular disease, retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, gastroparesis) (1.38-1.49), higher depression scores (p=0.015) and anxiety/depression medication use (1.31 [1.10-1.56]). However, there was no effect on diabetes distress score (DDS) (p=0.14). Higher number of ADs was associated with higher depression scores (p=0.03) and higher number of chronic complications (p<0.0001). Conclusion: Having additional ADs with T1D is associated with higher levels of both physical and mental complications of T1D. Disclosure C.A.A. Locatelli: None. M.K.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
