This study was conducted to describe the frequency of diabetes in dental patients, and to compare three different screening methods: the random finger plasma glucose (RFPG) test, the Finnish diabetes risk score (FINDRISC) survey and a special clinical guideline developed for dental patients.
The study design was cross-sectional, descriptive and comparative. The data were collected between August 2011 and February 2012. A total of 702 dental patients participated in this study. The screening tools were RFPG, FINDRISC and a clinical guideline. Data were analyzed using the Chi-squared test, the t test, analysis of variance, and the Pearson correlation test.
The frequency of diabetes was 8.3% for the participants. The prevalence of participants at risk for undiagnosed diabetes was 20.1% according to the RFPG test, 29.9% according to the FINDRISC, and 29.8% according to the clinical guideline. Correlation analysis showed a significant positive correlation between the screening methods (p<0.001 for each).
The overall frequency of diabetes was 8.3%. It was found that the three screening methods used in this study were statistically similar. However, FINDRISC and clinical guideline as the questionnaire screening tools indicated a little larger group than RFPG with respect to diabetes risk.
本研究旨在描述牙科患者糖尿病的发病频率，并比较三种不同的筛查方法：随机指尖血浆葡萄糖（RFPG）检测、芬兰糖尿病风险评分（FINDRISC）调查和专为牙科患者制定的特殊临床指南。
本研究设计为横断面、描述性和比较性。数据收集于 2011 年 8 月至 2012 年 2 月之间。共有 702 名牙科患者参与了这项研究。筛查工具包括 RFPG、FINDRISC 和临床指南。使用卡方检验、t 检验、方差分析和 Pearson 相关检验对数据进行分析。
参与者中糖尿病的发病率为 8.3%。根据 RFPG 检测，有 20.1%的参与者存在未确诊糖尿病的风险，根据 FINDRISC 检测，有 29.9%的参与者存在未确诊糖尿病的风险，根据临床指南检测，有 29.8%的参与者存在未确诊糖尿病的风险。相关性分析显示，这些筛查方法之间存在显著的正相关（每种方法的 p<0.001）。
总的糖尿病发病率为 8.3%。研究发现，本研究中使用的三种筛查方法在统计学上相似。然而，与 RFPG 相比，FINDRISC 和临床指南作为问卷调查筛查工具，在糖尿病风险方面显示出稍大的风险群体。
