title: [Prospective Polish insulin pump therapy programme in children with type 1 diabetes].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) in pre-pubertal children with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) has been introduced in Polish Diabetic Centres since 2000. Due to the lack of education and treatment standards for CSII we have initiated the National Prospective Pump Programme (OPPLP) in the 16 Diabetic Centres in Poland.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this programme was to prepare the paediatric diabetic centres for implementation of insulin pump treatment in children and assessment of the effectiveness of this treatment as compared to multiple daily injections.
  
  
  METHODS
  The Programme has been conducted in 16 centres in two stages - the first from 2003 to2005 - included the education of Health Care Providers (HCP), and the second clinical data collection of patients and evaluation of treatment effectiveness on the basis of estimation of HbA1c in the Central Laboratory. Electronic net-work system - enCapture with central server was used.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The HCP' education as well as the data collection system were assessed positively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The OPPLP can be the basis of a National Register of children with T1DM. The Register could be used also for cost effectiveness assessment of the patients with T1DM treatment.
