Diabetes Risk Score

Background: Diabetes is one of the largest global health emergencies of the 21st century. As per International Federation of Diabetes some 425 million people worldwide are estimated to have diabetes. The prevalence is higher in urban versus rural (10.2% vs 6.9%). India had 72.9 million people living with diabetes of which, 57.9% remained undiagnosed as per the 2017 data. The objectives of the present study were to identify subjects who at risk of developing Diabetes by using Indian diabetes risk score (IDRS) in the Urban field practice area of Rajarajeswari Medical College and Hospital (RRMCH).Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted using a Standard questionnaire of IDRS on 150 individuals aged ≥20 years residing in the Urban field practice area of RRMCH. The subjects with score <30, 30-50, >or =60 were categorized as having low risk, moderate risk and high risk for developing diabetes type-2 respectively.Results: Out of total 150 participants, 36 (24%) were in high-risk category (IDRS≥60), the majority of participants 61 (41%) were in the moderate-risk category (IDRS 30–50) and 53 (35%) participants were found to be at low-risk (<30) for diabetes. Statistical significant asssociation was found between IDRS and gender, literacy status, body mass index (p<0.0000l).Conclusions: It is essential to implement IDRS which is a simple tool for identifying subjects who are at risk for developing diabetes so that proper intervention can be carried out at the earliest to reduce the burden of diabetes.

<p><span><strong>Objetivo:</strong> evaluar el desempeño del <em>Finnish Diabetes Risk Score</em> (findrisc) como prueba de tamizaje para diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (dm2). <strong>Métodos:</strong> estudio de validación de prueba diagnóstica. Se seleccionaron 295 participantes sin diagnóstico de dm2, adscritos a una unidad de medicina familiar de Acapulco, Guerrero, México, mediante muestreo aleatorio simple. Se aplicó el cuestionario findrisc para calificar el nivel de riesgo para desarrollo de dm2. Se realizó toma de glucosa en ayuno como estándar de oro para diagnóstico de dm2. Se realizó prueba de </span><span>χ</span><span>2 de Mantel y Haenszel y cálculo de or para medir la asociación y la magnitud de ésta, así como el cálculo de sensibilidad, especificidad y valores predictivos para evaluar el desempeño del cuestionario. <strong>Resultados:</strong> se determinó que 156 pacientes (52.84%) presentaban alto riesgo para desarrollar dm2 en el cuestionario, 35 de los cuales fueron diagnosticados con dm2 y 49 con prediabetes. De los pacientes con riesgo bajo en el cuestionario, 26 presentaron prediabetes y 5 dm2. Un puntaje ≥15 por findrisc se asoció con glucosa alterada en ayuno ≥100mg/dl (or: 4.06, p=0.0001), prediabetes (or: 2.82, p=0.0002) y dm2 (or: 7.75, p=0.0001). La sensibilidad y especificidad del cuestionario para el diagnóstico de dm2 fue 87.50% y 52.55% respectivamente, con ic 95% estadísticamente significativos. <strong>Conclusión:</strong> el findrisc es una herramienta que potencialmente se puede ocupar para el tamizaje de dm2 en la población mexicana, es práctica, sencilla, rápida, no invasiva, económica y puede ser utilizada en la práctica diaria del médico familiar.</span></p>
