Abstract

Objective: - To validate the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (MDRF)-Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) as a screening test for diagnosis of Diabetes mellitus.
Method: - The present study was conducted among policemen of the Bhavnagar city, total 260 policemen of 30 or more years of age enrolled for the study (Response rate was 83 %).The fasting and 2 hour postprandial blood glucose test was done for diagnosis of the diabetes and According to American Diabetes Association (2004) criteria subjects was diagnosed as a diabetic, prediabetic (Impaired Fasting Glucose and Impaired Glucose Tolerance) and normoglycemic. Blood glucose test was taken as a “gold standard test†while MDRF- Indian diabetes risk score as a screening test and the sensitivity and specificity of IDRS calculated for various cut off point of an IRDS. To identify optimum cut off point of IDRS for diagnosis of diabetes, Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed. Result: -We found that the MDRF-IDRS score of ≥ 60 had the best sensitivity (92.5%) and Specificity (62.27%) for detecting diabetes in the study population. Receiver operator characteristic curve shows that IDRS ≥ 60 is the best cut off point for diagnosis of diabetes, for IRDS ≥ 60, area under the ROC curve was 0.838.
Conclusion: - The MDRF-Indian diabetes risk score is the highly sensitive and specific, easy to perform and cost effective tool for diagnosis of diabetes.
