METHOD FOR PREDICTING THE RISK OF DEVELOPING PARATROPHY IN CHILDREN BORN BY WOMEN WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES MELLITUS IN THE INFANCY Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A61B5/107 A61B5/145 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to pediatrics, neonatology, and can be used to predict the risk of paratrophy in children born to women with type 1 diabetes by the first year of life. To do this, establish the duration of diabetes and the presence or absence of hypothyroidism in the mother. In a child at the age of 3 months, determine the body weight in grams and the blood sugar level and calculate the prognostic index D by the formula: D=-0.143x₁-2.338x₂-0.002x₃-0.461x₄+16.247, where x₁ – duration of diabetes mellitus in women (years), x₂ – presence or absence of hypothyroidism in the mother 1 or 0, respectively, x₃ – body weight of the child at the age of 3 months (g), x₄ – sugar level in the blood of the child at the age of 3 months (mmol/l), Constant – 16.247. For D>0, a favorable prediction is judged, and for D≤0 predict a high risk of paratrophy by the year of life.

EFFECT: method provides an opportunity to carry out prevention of this condition by isolating a risk group for the development of paratrophy at the outpatient stage.
