Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Diagnostic accuracy study

Authors' conclusion

In the Mexican population, considering different scenarios, the Rojas' questionnaire had the best diagnostic performance. The implementation of questionnaires for the identification of prediabetes and undiagnosed diabetes requires further study in specific populations.
