Abstract

We investigated the association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children and adolescents in a nationwide, matched cohort study. The hazard ratio of new-onset T1D within 6 months after SARS-CoV-2 infection was 1.22 (0.58-2.58). The risk of new-onset T1D in children and adolescents was not significantly increased after SARS-CoV-2 infection.
