The incidence rates of IDDM in Italy show remarkable variability. Sardinia, a region with the second highest incidence rate in the world, co-exists with other regions with lower rates. We review and compare epidemiologic data on the incidence of childhood-onset IDDM in Italy. papers published from 1980 to 1996 reporting incidence data in Italian areas were found by search of Medline and non-indexed Italian journals. The incidence data found cover only 57% of the Italian population. The analysis of our results shows how difficult it is to make a careful study of epidemiology of IDDM in Italy. The RIDI (the Registry for Insulin-dependent Diabetes mellitus in Italy) project started in 1996 according to international guidelines. The aims is to coordinate local IDDM registries, to promote the start of new registries in uncovered areas, and to standardize registration and data collection.
意大利胰岛素依赖型糖尿病（IDDM）的发病率呈现出显著的差异。撒丁岛是世界上发病率第二高的地区，却与其他发病率较低的地区并存。我们回顾并比较了意大利儿童期发病的IDDM发病率的流行病学数据。通过检索Medline和未被索引的意大利期刊，找到了1980年至1996年发表的报告意大利地区发病率数据的论文。所找到的发病率数据仅覆盖了57%的意大利人口。对我们结果的分析表明，在意大利对IDDM进行细致的流行病学研究是多么困难。意大利胰岛素依赖型糖尿病登记处（RIDI）项目于1996年按照国际准则启动。其目的是协调当地的IDDM登记处，推动在未覆盖地区启动新的登记处，并使登记和数据收集标准化。
