Though not a substitute for established diagnostic protocols, the use of a risk questionnaire can be an accurate, low cost, educational and time efficient method for assessment of type 2 diabetes risk.
These tests may be accessible to a larger population because they can be performed at lower costs and less intrusive to persons at risk while providing relatively accurate information, especially when used in conjunction with a risk questionnaire.
Data on the past and current use of prescription and over the counter medications and colon cancer risk factors were ascertained using a standardized risk factor questionnaire. Effects of COX-2 inhibiting agents were quantified by calculating odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals.
Data on the past and current use of prescription and over the counter medications and breast cancer risk factors were ascertained using a standardized risk factor questionnaire. Effects of COX-2 inhibiting agents were quantified by calculating odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals.
To be more cost-effective, we recruited high-risk women by using a questionnaire-based risk-assessment model (Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) model) (Shen et al, 2012; Xu et al, 2012), established through our previous case-control study (Xu et al, 2012) and adjusted from the evidence of other risk models (Costantino et al, 1999; Rockhill et al, 2001; Anothaisintawee et al, 2012).
Perceived risk to develop diabetes can be measured using a validated questionnaire such as the Risk Perception Survey for Developing Diabetes (RPS-DD) (4).
We collected data on demographics and cardiovascular risk factors using a standardized questionnaire.
Each subject was interviewed face-to-face to obtain demographic data and information on related risk factors using a structured questionnaire, including tobacco smoking and alcohol consuming.
The population attributable fraction was greatest for strategies using age 50 or more and routine data (60% Cambridge risk score) for identifying people at risk, whereas inviting people who were overweight and those at high risk using a participant completed questionnaire (strategies 3 and 4) had the lowest population attributable fractions.
Drug consumed, modes of consumption (injecting, sniffing, smoking) and at-risk practices (sharing syringes, other injection materials, sniffing material or glass pipes) were recorded for the last month using the Injecting Risk Questionnaire (IRQ) [ 46].
