| Core Tip |
Carmon et al’s study suggests a link between the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and rising type 1 diabetes mellitus cases. This letter provides a constructive critique of their methodology. The authors point out that ecological analysis without individual infection data can be misleading, unaddressed confounders and lack of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) stratification weaken causal inference, and pandemic-related diagnostic delays (reflected in higher diabetic ketoacidosis rates) may have inflated case counts. The authors also caution that biases in viral surveillance data complicate the interpretation of “reduced” non-COVID infections. Addressing these issues with more granular data and analyses will improve future research on the type 1 diabetes mellitus-COVID relationship. |
