cord-314328-gft6phd6	Lawrence, C.	Increased paediatric presentations of severe diabetic ketoacidosis in an Australian tertiary centre during the COVID‐19 pandemic	2020-10-23		.txt	text/plain	2088	118	54	AIMS: To determine if the frequency of severe diabetic ketoacidosis at presentation of new‐onset type 1 diabetes to an Australian tertiary centre increased during the initial period of restrictions resulting from the COVID‐19 pandemic (March to May 2020). We report one Australian centre's experience of presentations of newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes in a paediatric cohort during the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions (March to May inclusive) compared to pre-pandemic presentations in the March to May periods of the years 2015 to 2019. • We report a significant increase in the frequency of severe diabetic ketoacidosis at presentation of new-onset type 1 diabetes during the COVID-19 pandemic at our tertiary centre. This study reports a significant increase in the frequency of children and adolescents presenting with severe DKA at onset of type 1 diabetes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in presentations of children and adolescents with severe DKA at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes during the COVID-19 pandemic is a major concern.	./cache/cord-314328-gft6phd6.txt	./txt/cord-314328-gft6phd6.txt
