Introduction In Germany, inpatient rehabilitation is a well-established additive option in the therapeutic concept for children and adolescents with diabetes. However, its contribution in pediatric diabetes care is not known exactly. Our objective was to analyze inpatient rehabilitation in pediatric diabetes over eight years in Germany. Methods We requested secondary data from the German Statutory Pension Insurance Scheme to evaluate all completed inpatient rehabilitations for children and adolescents with diabetes (ICD-code E10-14) reimbursed by this institution between 2006 and 2013. For each type of diabetes, we analyzed the distribution of admissions by year, age-group, sex, nationality, and other documented diagnoses. All analyses were conducted via remote computing with IBM SPSS Version 24. Results Between 2006 and 2013, 5,403 admissions to inpatient rehabilitation for 4,746 children and adolescents with diabetes were documented. For type 1 diabetes (T1D; 88.5% of admissions), the number of yearly admissions increased from 458 in 2006 to 688 in 2013 (p=0.013), especially for age-group>5-10. The increase for type 2 diabetes (T2D) was not significant. Admissions were more frequent for girls (53.6%, p≤0.001), age>10-15 years (42.8%, p=0.001), and German nationality (98.5%). Obesity (T1D: 11.1%; T2D: 87.9%) and mental disorders (T1D: 11.6%; T2D: 27.4%) were the most frequent documented diagnoses in addition to diabetes. Conclusion This study provides a comprehensive overview of inpatient rehabilitation for children and adolescents with diabetes over many years in Germany. Until 2013, inpatient rehabilitation remained important in pediatric diabetes care, especially for children with mental disorders or obesity.
