Screening for type 2 diabetes

Definitive studies of the effectiveness of screening for type 2 diabetes
are currently not available. RCTs would be the best means to assess
effectiveness, but several barriers prevent these studies from being
conducted. Prospective observational studies may characterize some of the
benefits of screening by creating screened and unscreened groups for
comparison. The availability of better data systems and health services
research techniques will facilitate such comparisons. Unfortunately, the
interpretation of the results of such studies is extremely problematic.
Several screening tests have been evaluated. Risk assessment questionnaires
have generally performed poorly as stand-alone tests. Screening with
biochemical tests performs better. Venous and capillary glucose
measurements may perform more favorably than urinary glucose or HbA(1c)
measurements, and measuring postprandial glucose levels may have advantages
over measuring fasting levels. However, performance of all screening tests
is dependent on the cutoff point selected. Unfortunately, there are no
well-defined and validated cutoff points to define positive tests. A
two-stage screening test strategy may assist with a more efficient use of
resources, although such approaches have not been rigorously tested. The
optimal interval for screening is unknown. Even though periodic, targeted,
and opportunistic screening within the existing health care system seems to
offer the greatest yield and likelihood of appropriate follow-up and
treatment, much of the reported experience with screening appears to be
episodic poorly targeted community screening outside of the existing health
care system. Statistical models have helped to answer some of the key
questions concerning areas in which there is lack of empirical data.
Current models need to be refined with new clinical and epidemiological
information, such as the UKPDS results (200). In addition, future models
need to include better information on the natural history of the
preclinical phase of diabetes. Data from ongoing clinical trials of
screening and treatment of impaired glucose tolerance, such as the Diabetes
Prevention Program, may eventually offer more direct evidence for early
detection and treatment of asymptomatic hyperglycemia (201). It will be
important to use comprehensive cardiovascular disease modules that assess
the conjoint influence of glucose and cardiovascular risk factor reduction,
information on QOL, and refined economic evaluations using common outcome
measures (cost per life-year or QALY gained) (11,178,202-204). Such studies
should consider all of the costs associated with a comprehensive screening
program, including, at a minimum, the direct costs of screening, diagnostic
testing, and care for patients with diabetes detected through screening.
Finally, combinations of screening tests and different screening intervals
should be evaluated within economic studies to allow selection of the
optimal approach within the financial and resource limitations of the
health care system.
