Background: Many patients with diabetes can be cured at the primary care level by efficiently applying routine modifications after recognition of an under-risk population. The present study was conducted to assess the sensitivity and specificity of the Indian Diabetes Risk Score. Materials and Methods: 230 subjects of both genders were studied. IDRS and its parameters are comprised of two modifiable (waist circumference, physical activity) and two non-modifiable risk factors (age, family history) for diabetes. The Indian diabetic risk score >60 was found to be highly sensitive and specific for predicting diabetes. Results: Diabetes was present in 105 subjects and absent in 125 subjects. IDRS test positive score = 60 was seen in 65 diabetics and IDRS test negative <60 in 40 diabetics. The sensitivity of the IDRS score was 90.3%, and the specificity was 43.2%. Conclusion: IDRS is incredibly helpful when it comes to identifying diabetes in undiagnosed subjects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
