The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Hawaii from insurance claims data.
Information from two major health plans covering approximately 66% of the state's population was used to estimate prevalence rates by sex, age group, and geographic area. Weighted multiple linear regression was applied to identify predictors of diabetes prevalence.
The statewide diabetes prevalence was estimated at 43.8 per 1000 persons. The ethnic composition of the population and rural residence partially explained the geographic variation in diabetes prevalence.
Insurance claims data may be a useful tool for population-based diabetes surveillance.
本研究旨在通过保险理赔数据确定夏威夷糖尿病的患病率。
来自覆盖该州约66%人口的两大主要健康计划的信息被用于按性别、年龄组和地理区域估算患病率。应用加权多元线性回归来确定糖尿病患病率的预测因素。
全州糖尿病患病率估计为每1000人中有43.8人。人口的种族构成和农村居住情况部分解释了糖尿病患病率的地理差异。
保险理赔数据可能是基于人群的糖尿病监测的有用工具。
