N2 - Aims: Our review aimed to
determine the prevalence of – and factors associated with – hearing loss, oral
and olfactory disease, frozen shoulder, trigger finger, and hair loss in young
adults with type 1 diabetes. These conditions were selected based on research
team interests, existing literature, and group discussion.Methods: We conducted a
quantitative narrative review using a systematic process to identify cohort and
cross- sectional studies involving young adults with type 1 diabetes (mean age
18–30 years). PubMed, CINAHL, and Cochrane were searched (January 2000–February
2024). Grey literature was not restricted, and quality appraisal was
undertaken. Extracted data were synthesised and summarised narratively.
Results: The initial search found 3924 records and after
title, abstract and full-text review, 19 records met inclusion criteria.
Hearing loss prevalence ranged from 22.6 to 48.0 %, with age, diabetes
duration, and systolic blood pressure identified as prominent associated
features. For oral disease, peridontitis prevalence was 4.7 %, while alveolar
bone loss ranged from 24.6 to 43.9 %; age was the primary associated factor. No
eligible data were identified regarding frozen shoulder, trigger finger, or
hair loss. Conclusions: Further research is needed to characterize the
prevalence and risk factors of atypical complications in type 1 diabetes.
Clinical care should be guided by a robust understanding of these
under-recognised comorbidities.
