ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the application value of the new chinese diabetes risk score in the clinical diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods A total of 232 subjects who received physical examination at the outpatient department of endocrinology were selected.Medical history and demographic information were collected.Physical examination and 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)were conducted.Fasting or 2 -h blood glucose,HbA1 c,serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC)and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)were measured.Results The area under the receiver operating curve was 0. 788 (95%CI=0. 725 -0. 852),with 0. 832 (95%CI=0. 748 -0. 916)in males and 0. 754 (95%CI=0. 664-0. 844)in females.At the optimal cutoff value (25 scores)for detecting type 2 diabetes,the sensitivity was 88. 06%and the specificity was 37. 58%.The Diabetes Risk Score was positively related to the probability of type 2 diabetes.Conclusion The new chinese diabetes risk score could be a reliable screening tool to evaluate undiagnosed type 2 diabetes in the Chinese population.
