Screening for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents: evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
The purpose of this study was to explore the evidence on the benefits and harms of screening children and adolescents for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes to inform the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). The researchers utilized references; experts; literature surveillance, and PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and trial registries. The final review included 8 publications with 856 participants with a mean age of 14 years. The researchers found that none of the eligible studies directly assessed the benefits or harms of preventive screening. The limited eligible clinical trials reported few health outcomes and found no difference between groups.

Effect of Stanford Youth Diabetes Coaches' Program on youth and adults in diverse communities.
This study’s objective was to assess the effects of the Stanford Youth Diabetes Coaches’ Program (SYDCP) on youth and adults from a rural and urban underserved high school community. The program trains high school students to become diabetes coaches for friends and adult family members. The authors used the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measure Pediatric Sense of Meaning and Purpose. Coached adults were surveyed using measures from PROMIS Adult Global Health and Self-Efficacy. Twenty-five students participated in the study, with 15 having coached adults with diabetes or prediabetes. Postintervention results included significant improvement in students’ sense of meaning and purpose. Youth and adult-relatedness also led to improved health behaviors.

Comorbidities associated with hospitalization and progression among adolescents with symptomatic coronavirus disease 2019.
This study’s objective was to identify subgroups likely to benefit from monoclonal antibody and antiviral therapy to treat COVID-19 by evaluating the relationship between comorbidities and hospitalization among US adolescents aged 12-17 with symptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The authors used the Pediatric COVID-19 US registry to identify patients who met their inclusion criteria of comorbidities including obesity, chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes, immunosuppressive disease or treatment, sickle cell disease (SCD), heart disease, neurologic disease/neurodevelopmental disorders, and pulmonary disease (excluding patients with mild asthma). Out of 1877 total patients included 284 (15%) were hospitalized within 28 days of their COVID-19 diagnosis. The following comorbidities were associated with increased odds of hospitalization: SCD, immunocompromising condition, obesity, diabetes, neurologic disease, and pulmonary disease (excluding mild asthma).
