2. Outline
Diabetes prevalence
Routine data
Accuracy
Compare to primary care
database
Capture-Recapture
Diagnosed vs undiagnosed
3. Diabetes Prevalence
Rapid increase last
30 years
Time trends
Health Planning
Primary Prevention
efficacy
4. Surveys
e.g. 2005 NZHS
Not frequent
Limited by selection
bias (e.g. 70%
response)

5. Health data
Linked by NHI
Dispensing, Diagnoses, Labs,
Mortality, GP.
Improved quality since 2006,
>90% NHI linkage
Similar overall prevalence to
survey results (Smith 2010)

6. Algorithm
Record review
Diabetes if:
5+ HbA last two years
1c
Hospital ICD(1998-2008)
Diabetes clinic ('04-'08)
Dispensing ('01-'08)

7. Aim
Assess validity of
derived diabetes
prevalence
Compare to Primary
care cohort

8. “Gold Standard”
PREDICT TM CVD RISK
GP entered diagnosis.
>100,000('00-'10)
54,000 enter '07-'08

11. Results
PREDICT: 53,911
20% Pac, 16% Maori
Diabetes prevalence
20.1% Algorithm
20.9% PREDICT
23.7% Capture-recap

12. Results
Good agreement
Sens~86% P(A+|P+)
Spec~96% P(A-|P-)
Kappa~85%
Capture-Recapture
~15% undercount in Algorithm
~10% undercount in PREDICT
