A prospective population-based diabetes register that conforms to international standards, and which stores demographic and clinical data on all patients attending the diabetes clinic at Princess Margaret Hospital. The database also records family history, in the first degree relative, of autoimmune disease and atopic disease As PMH is the only tertiary paediatric referral centre in Western Australia, the case ascertainment of this register has consistently been over 99%. This complete, population-based data source is invaluable for studying the epidemiology of childhood onset diabetes in Western Australia.
