Overview
One of the most commonly used tools to improve the identification of individuals with diabetes is screening. Screening of healthy individuals could lead to early detection and treatment of diabetes, but this is not well supported by randomized trials to confirm these benefits. Therefore, screening is preferentially recommended for individuals at high risk. In this study, 589 diabetics (7.2% of those screened) and 322 prediabetics (4.0% of those screened) were identified out of a total of 8,151 individuals screened. Of the diagnosed prediabetics, 75.5% were at-risk individuals, and of the diabetics, at-risk individuals accounted for 80.5%. The success rate of identifying patients with diabetes was 2.75 times (95% CI 2.23–3.39) higher in the at-risk group than in the non-risk group. For prediabetic patients, the probability of identification was 1.98 times (95% CI 1.53–2.56) higher in the risk group. The study confirms the usefulness of screening performed on at-risk individuals, i.e., individuals with arterial hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, CHD, and other diseases associated with diabetes using health insurance company data.
