The research aims to estimate the incidence of type 2 diabetes among youth and young adults using electronic health data.
Utilized the DiCAYA network covering six health systems and two geographic centers in the U.S.
Identified incident T2D using ICD-10 diagnosis codes from electronic health records between 2018-2023.
Calculated incidence rates by age, sex, and race/ethnicity.
T2D incidence rates for youth (10-17 years) were 29.2 per 100,000 in geographic centers and 39.8 in health systems.
Young adults (18-44 years) showed rates of 195.0 in geographic centers and 326.8 in health systems.
Incidence rates increased with age, with higher rates observed in non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic groups.
