Sublingual Microcirculation in Children With Compensated T1D Using the SDF Method
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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.

Detailed Description
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Determination of Total Vascular Density of sublingual microcirculation of children with T1D [baseline]
Total length of vessels divided by total surface of area
- Determination of Microvascular Flow Index (MFI) of sublingual microcirculation of children with T1D [baseline]
The image is divided into four quadrants and the predominant type of flow (absent = 0, intermittent = 1, sluggish = 2, normal = 3, and hyperdynamic = 4) is assessed in each quadrant. The MFI score represents the averaged values of the four. A 20 μm cut-off is used to separate small vessels (mostly capillaries) from large vessels (mostly venules).
- Determination of Small Vessel Density of sublingual microcirculation of children with T1D [baseline]
Total length of small vessels divided by total surface of area. A 20 μm cut-off is used to separate small vessels (mostly capillaries) from large vessels (mostly venules).
- Determination of Proportion of Perfused Vessels (all) of sublingual microcirculation of children with T1D [baselina]
The proportion of perfused vessels (PPV [%]) can be calculated as follows: 100 × (total number of vessels - [no flow + intermittent flow])/total number of vessels.
- Determination of Proportion of Perfused Small Vessels (PPSV) of sublingual microcirculation of children with T1D [baseline]
The proportion of perfused small vessels (PPSV [%]) can be calculated as follows: 100 × (total number of small vessels - [no flow + intermittent flow])/total number of small vessels. A 20 μm cut-off is used to separate small vessels (mostly capillaries) from large vessels (mostly venules).
- Determination of Perfused Vessel Density (PVD) of sublingual microcirculation of children with T1D [baseline]
Total length of vessels - (no flow + intermittent flow) divided by total surface of area
- Determination of Perfused Small Vessel Density (PSVD) of sublingual microcirculation of children with T1D [baseline]
Total length of small vessels - (small vessels with no flow + intermittent flow) divided by total surface of area. A 20 μm cut-off is used to separate small vessels (mostly capillaries) from large vessels (mostly venules).
- Determination of DeBacker Score of sublingual microcirculation of children [baseline]
In this score, three equidistant horizontal and three equidistant vertical lines are drawn on the screen. Vessel density can be calculated as the number of vessels crossing the lines divided by the total length of the lines.
