The Australasian Diabetes Data Network (ADDN) is a prospective, longitudinal diabetes registry collecting clinical data from people living with diabetes when they attend paediatric and adult diabetes centres. A primary of goal of ADDN is to undertake benchmarking to compare diabetes health outcomes across diabetes centres in Australasia. Benchmarking reports provided to all participating diabetes centres enable critical analysis of their data integrity, which can then be used to identify gaps in their organisation’s processes and enables sharing or standardisation of best practice. The dataset can therefore further our understanding of the influence of different management practices and therapies for diabetes, and the clinical and demographic predictors of clinical outcomes. The core data, collected routinely at clinic visits, include demographic characteristics, body mass index, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), blood pressure, lipids, diabetic ketoacidosis, hypoglycaemia, insulin therapy (injections or pumps), use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), diabetes complications and co-morbidities. ADDN also follows young people as they transition from paediatric services into adult care and therefore can describe the longitudinal trajectory of type 1 diabetes across the lifespan.
