Abstract
The purposes of this study were to examine the impact of using glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) as a diagnostic criterion for (pre)diabetes and to determine the appropriate HbA1c cutoff value in a Taiwanese population. We used a dataset from the Clinical Informatics Research & Development Center of Taichung Veteran General Hospital. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HbA1c test results were obtained from outpatient laboratory reports produced from January 1, 2011, to April 30, 2012. A total of 4920 blood tests were analyzed. For each potential HbA1c cutoff value, the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) were calculated at FPG levels of 100 and 126 mg/dL. Two-sample t- and chi-sqaured tests were used to compare differences in characteristics between individuals matching the definitions of diabetes set by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) in 2009 and 2010. Among the 4920 study subjects, 580 people had an FPG value < 126 mg/dL and an HbA1c ≥ 6.5%. After the diagnostic criterion of HbA1c percentage was applied, the numbers of patients with normoglycemia and prediabetes decreased, whereas the number of diabetic patients increased. For FPG le...Continue Reading
