Study criteria: over 18 years of age, a SCI for more than 12 months, living at home, wheelchair dependant and no diabetes diagnosis.<br \/>\nMain outcome measures: AUSDRISK sensitivity and specificity in predicting incident type 2 diabetes in persons with SCI.<br \/>\nResults: Of the 79 participants, 81% were male, mean age was 53 years (SD 14.14) with 23.2years (median 23; SD +\/- 13.2yrs) since injury. There was a positive correlation between length of time since SCI and risk score (AUSDRISK) (r = .242, p = .032). Participants with high AUSDRISK scores had higher HbA1c% (5.38 versus 5.2, p = .026) level. The high risk classification explained a moderate amount of HbA1c % (area under curve = .651; 95% CI .53 &#8211; .77). The level of HbA1c which had the highest sensitivity (.59) and specificity (.73) for risk classification was 5.25%. Waist circumference and physical activity items require further powered studies to determine if appropriately weighted.<br \/>\nConclusion: Comparing the AUSDRISK with HbA1c assays, the AUSDRISK can predict type 2 diabetes risk in a person with S<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Wendy Jannings<\/li>\n<li>Margaret Fry<\/li>\n<li>Robyn Gallagher<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>AUSDRISK, type 2 diabetes, spinal cord injury, diabetes screening tools, preventative health<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: A prospective comparison of the AUSDRISK and HbA1c for persons with spinal cord injury&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[4504,4506,4507,4450,4505],"class_list":["post-7443","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-ausdrisk","tag-diabetes-screening-tools","tag-preventative-health","tag-spinal-cord-injury","tag-type-2-diabetes","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
