Comparing the performance of FINDRISC, CANRISK, and a Saudi-specific dysglycemia risk score in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Open Access
Guo, Angela Wenxia (2016)
Abstract
Objective: To assess the performance of three diabetes risk scores: a rapid Saudi-specific dysglycemia risk score, the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC), and the Canadian Diabetes Risk Assessment (CANRISK) as a screening tool for dysglycemia, using data from the Saudi Household Interview Survey, a recent nationally representative cross-sectional study in Saudi Arabia.
Research Design and Methods: Data from 4,461 Saudi adults aged 15 years or older who participated in the Saudi Health Interview Survey and completed an HbA1c lab test were included in the analysis. Anthropologic measurements, socio-demographic information, lifestyle information, and past medical history were collected through household surveys. Participants were referred to a local clinic to complete biochemical measurements, including HbA1c. We assessed the performance of a Saudi-specific risk score, the FINDRISC, and CANRISK tools by calculating sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV). We also estimated the kappa statistic for agreement for each risk score to assess the frequency of the risk scores predicting dysglycemia when true dysglycemia was present, and no dysglycemia when true dysglycemia was not present.
Results: Overall, CANRISK was the most sensitive in identifying those with dysglycemia (CANRISK: 70.57% [70 .54, 70.59] vs. Saudi-specific score: 53.58% [51.36, 55.80] vs. FINDRISC: 39.46% [39.43, 39.49]), but the least specific in detecting those without dysglycemia (CANRISK: 55.87% [55.85, 55.89] vs. Saudi-specific score: 75.54 [73.86, 77.21] vs. FINDRISC: 82.95 [82.83, 82.86]). The PPV was similar among the three risk scores, ranging from 55.2%-63.9%. The NPV was also similar among the three risk scores, ranging from 64.0%-71.2%. The Saudi-specific score had the highest kappa statistic (Saudi-specific score: 0.296, se=0.014; CANRISK: 0.260, se=0.015; FINDRISC=0.233, se=0.014) and demonstrated the best balance in correctly detecting individuals with and without dysglycemia. All three risk scores performed better in identifying individuals with diabetes, compared to identifying individuals with dysglycemia. All three risk scores did not perform as well when detecting undiagnosed dysglycemia and undiagnosed diabetes.
Conclusion : Based on our analysis, the rapid Saudi-specific dysglycemia risk score performs as well as the FINDRISC and CANRISK.
