The type 1 diabetic youth with suboptimal glycemic control had a higher prevalence of abnormal standard lipid factors than control subjects, reaching statistical significance for elevated total cholesterol.
Our findings that youth with suboptimal glycemic control have increased concentrations and a higher prevalence of abnormal standard lipid levels, as well as more small, dense LDL particles and higher apoB levels, also agree with the previous literature in adults (18).
Glaucomatous VF defects were defined as defects with consecutive, repeated abnormal standard automated perimetry results (≥ 2 contiguous points with a sensitivity loss of P < 0.05 in the superior or inferior arcuate areas, a 10 dB difference across the nasal horizontal midline at > 2 adjacent locations, or an abnormal glaucoma hemifield test result).
Objective: To evaluate levels of sperm nuclear DNA damage in infertile men with normal and abnormal standard semen parameters.
Glaucoma was defined by the presence of repeatable abnormal standard automated perimetry results and/or progressive glaucomatous optic disc change on masked grading of stereophotographs.
Despite abnormal standard laboratory coagulation tests and thrombocytopenia, CRRT circuits clot frequently in liver failure patients.
Up until recently, only liver biopsy was considered as a gold standard for the confirmation of suspected advanced fibrosis in subjects with abnormal standard liver tests [ 4].
Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) was defined as the presence of at least 2 abnormal standard tests [ 4].
Each of the three items was scored as 0 for normal or 1 for abnormal, to a maximum score of 3. Normal AFT was defined as a score of 0, and CAN was defined on the basis of at least one abnormal standard test.
Similar to the findings regarding mean lipid levels, the prevalence of abnormal standard lipid concentrations (total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and HDL cholesterol) was similar in youth with type 1 diabetes and optimal A1C levels versus nondiabetic youth.
