Highlights
- •The ColDRISC is a simple and inexpensive screening test for Type 2 diabetes mellitus in Colombia.
- •The ColDRISC can be used in clinical practice to identify undetected abnormal glucose tolerance.
- •The ColDRISC may reduce the number of invasive glucose tests required in the general population.
Abstract
Aims
(i) To develop a diabetes mellitus risk score model for the Colombian population (ColDRISC);
and (ii) to evaluate the accuracy of the ColDRISC unknown Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Methods
Cross-sectional screening study of the 18–74 years-old population of a health-care
insurance company (n = 2060) in northern Colombia. Lifestyle habits and risk factors for diabetes mellitus
were assessed by an interview using a questionnaire consisting of information regarding
sociodemographic factors, history of diabetes mellitus, tobacco consumption, hypertension,
nutritional and physical activity habits. Anthropometric measurements and an oral
glucose tolerance test were taken. The sensitivity and the specificity, receiver-operating
characteristic (ROC) curves, were calculated for the ColDRISC and FINDRISC.
Results
The area under the ROC curve for unknown Type 2 diabetes mellitus was 0.74 (95% CI:
0.70–0.79) for the ColDRISC and 0.73 for the FINDRISC (95% confidence intervals [CI]
0.69–0.78). Using the risk score cutoff value of 4 in the ColDRISC to detect Type
2 diabetes mellitus resulted in a sensitivity of 73% and specificity of 67%.
Conclusions
The characteristics of the ColDRISC show that it can be used as a simple, safe, and
inexpensive test to identify people at high risk for Type 2 diabetes mellitus in Colombia.
