The two most highly cited diabetes research trials ? Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) and its follow-up study Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) ? are marking their 30th anniversary. DCCT, which ran from 1982 to 1993, enrolled more than 1,400 adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes to evaluate if intensive control of diabetes could lower the risk of complications better than conventional control. EDIC launched in 1994 and continues to follow many patients from the original study.
This month, the journal Diabetes Care, published by the American Association of Diabetes, features a series of articles commemorating the anniversary of the groundbreaking studies. University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital (UH Rainbow)/Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine together have constituted a lead center in DCCT/EDIC, the longest-running study funded by the National Institutes of Health.
