Table 1.
Demographics of patients with childhood-onset type 1 diabetes at the age of 15 according to the specialty of their attending physicians.

Transition from pediatric to adult care among 569 patients receiving pediatric care at the age of 15 as stratified by sex.
P-value was calculated by log-rank test. Less than 50% of patients who had received pediatric care at the age of 15 transitioned to adult care by the age of 30, with very few transitioning to adult care after that. There was no sex difference in the timing of their transition from pediatric to adult care (P = 0.967, log-rank test).
