Clinical and biochemical data on 111 consecutive insulin-dependent diabetic children enrolled in a longitudinal prospective study were analyzed to determine if more than one clinical expression of ...Type I diabetes exists. Use of multivariate statistical methods, including Correspondence Analysis, kappa-means clustering and RECPAM (RECursive Partition and AMalgamation), show that there are two well differentiated clinical expressions of IDDM each characterized by a cluster. One is characterized by later age, less severe onset, longer symptom duration, less beta-cell disappearance after 12 months, more females; the other by earlier age, more sudden and severe onset, DR 3/4, earlier disappearance of beta-cell function and more males. RECPAM analysis provides further insight into the structure of the two clusters. An other RECPAM tree identifies low, medium and high risk groups of disappearance of beta-cell function at 12 months after diagnosis.

Real gross domestic product increased 6.0% in the fourth quarter of 1998, according to the final estimates of the national income and product accounts. The step-up from a 3.7% increase in the third ...quarter was attributable to a sharp turnaround in motor vehicle output; motor vehicle output increased almost 90% after falling almost 11%, partly reflecting a rebound from a midsummer strike at a major manufacturer. GDP less motor vehicles increased 3.8% after increasing 4.2%. Exports of goods and services and business fixed investment turned up, and consumer spending for goods accelerated in the fourth quarter. In contrast, inventory investment turned down, imports of goods and services increased more than in the third quarter, and consumer spending for services increased less than in the third quarter. The Federal Government current surplus decreased $26.2 billion, to $65.8 billion, in the fourth quarter, and the state and local government current surplus increased $21.8 billion, to $170.5 billion.
