Abstract
To evaluate compliance with diabetes screening guidelines for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared to the general population. We conducted the first longitudinal study of a population-based RA cohort including all prevalent RA cases in British Columbia between 1996 and 2006 and followed until 2010, with matched general population comparators. Using administrative data, we measured compliance with general population guidelines [i.e., testing plasma glucose (PG) at least once every 3 years after age 45] after excluding individuals with previous diabetes. Followup was divided into 3-year eligibility periods. Compliance was measured as the proportion of periods with ≥ 1 PG test performed. OR (95% CI) of compliance in RA (vs general population) was calculated using generalized estimating equation models, adjusting for age and sex. Mean compliance rate per patient was also calculated and compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. Analysis included 22,624 individuals with RA, contributing 48,724 three-year eligibility periods; and 22,579 people in a general population group, contributing 51,081 three-year eligibility periods. PG was measured in 72.3% (SD 37%) of the eligible time periods in the RA...Continue Reading
