Dr. Saja Alrowayeh, PGY2
Supervisors: Dr. Tania Cellucci and Dr. Hannah Geddie
Retrospective chart review study of rheumatological disease database on pediatric patients with SLE, DM, JIA and systemic vasculitis undergoing high dose corticosteroid therapy to assess whether screening for glucose level was measured and assess the prevalence of hyperglycaemia on those who were tested.
Learning Objectives:
The aim of the study is to assess for proper screening and identify the significance of the outcome if present in a measurable method. This will help us determine the need to implement a standardized screening guidelines for such high-risk patients
