| Popis: | Objective. To investigate whether the yield of population-based diabetes screening is influenced by characteristics of the general practitioner ( GP) and the practice. Design. Cross-sectional study. Setting. Seventy-nine general practices in the south-western region of the Netherlands. Subjects. From 2002 to 2004, 56 978 people were screened for diabetes. GPs completed a questionnaire containing items on the GP ( age, gender, employment, special interest in diabetes, providing insulin therapy) and the practice ( setting, location, number of patients from ethnic minority groups, specific diabetes clinic, involvement of practice assistant, practice nurse or diabetes nurse in diabetes care). Main outcome measures. The ratio screen-detected diabetic patients/known diabetic patients per practice ( SDM/KDM) and the number of detected diabetic patients per practice adjusted for practice size and age distribution ( SDM per standardized practice). Results. The yield of screening per practice varied widely. Higher age of the GP ( regression coefficient 0.20; 95% confidence interval, CI 0.07-0.34), urban location ( -4.60; 95% CI -6.41 to -2.78) and involvement of the practice assistant ( 2.27; 95% CI 0.49-4.06) were independently associated with SDM/KDM. Using the other outcome variable, results were similar. Additionally, cooperation with a diabetes nurse was associated with a lower yield. Conclusion. A lower yield of screening, reflecting a lower prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes, was found in practices of younger GPs and in urban practices. A lower yield was not associated with an appropriate practice organization regarding diabetes care nor with a specialty of the GP in diabetes. The wide variation in the yield of screening stresses the importance of a screening programme in each general practice. |
