SEARCH FOR DIABETES IN YOUTH

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。SEARCH是一项全国性、多中心、以人群为基础的研究，旨在研究20岁以下人群的糖尿病负担以及各种类型糖尿病的频率和特征随时间的变化。该研究还开发了基于临床和生化数据识别各种类型糖尿病的有效和实用方法。该研究首先根据每种糖尿病的病因定义了主要类型的糖尿病。SEARCH研究人员已经改进并正在测试开发的实用算法，以确定临床医生、公共卫生工作者和研究人员可以使用的糖尿病类型。SEARCH还在研究长期以来提供保健服务和糖尿病并发症的趋势。2005年9月，SEARCH研究小组获得额外5年的资助。SEARCH第二阶段将继续在SEARCH初始阶段开展的工作，同时扩大数据收集，以解决与糖尿病并发症和糖尿病护理质量相关的目标。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. SEARCH is a national, multi-center, population-based study examining the burden of diabetes in individuals less than 20 year of age and the changes in the frequency and characteristics of the various types of diabetes over time. The study is also developing efficient and practical approaches to identifying the various types of diabetes based on clinical and biochemical data. The study began with a definition of the major types of diabetes based on the cause of each type of diabetes. SEARCH investigators have refined and are testing the practical algorithms developed to identify types of diabetes that can be used by clinicians, public health workers, and researchers. SEARCH is also examining trends over time in the delivery of health care and the complications of diabetes. In September 2005, the SEARCH Study group was awarded funding for an additional 5 years. SEARCH Phase 2 will continue the work initiated in the initial phase of SEARCH while expanding the collection of data to address aims related to complications of diabetes and quality of diabetes care.
