摘要: AIM To describe the results of a pilot project diabetes screening in high risk general practice population. METHOD Adequacy follow-up fasting plasma glucose (FPG) tests and recording cardiovascular scores was analysed, prevalence impaired tolerance (IGT) calculated using WHO diagnostic criteria. RESULTS In registered population 28,000, 1251 people were screened for which 1129 (90.2%) completed pathway. Diabetes detected 3.6% (n=24) Maori 2.0% (n=9) non-Maori. There no statistical difference between uptake to oral (OGT) Eighty percent (n=1002/1251) had Cardiovascular Risk Assessment (CVRA). This occurred less frequently (76.6%, 576/752) compared non-Maori (85.4%, 426/499), p=0.0001. CONCLUSION The consequences low OGT ranged from underestimated estimates CVD scores. Increased raised FPGs is required. Because CVRA lower Maori, caution advised against reliance on programmes as sole mechanism identify with or IGT. Further investigations into use HbA1c test are recommended groups.
