External validation and calibration of risk equations for prediction of diabetic kidney diseases among patients with type 2 diabetes in Taiwan

Cardiovasc DiabetolPublished Prediction model external validation and recalibration study

Authors' conclusion

Risk equations for prediction of DKD progression in real-world Taiwanese T2D patients were established, which can be incorporated into a multi-state simulation model to project and differentiate individual DKD risks for supporting timely interventions and health economic research.

Study context

Population
Real-world patients with T2D in Taiwan
Comparison
Risk equations from UKPDS-OM2, RECODe and CHIME models
Outcome
Discrimination (AUROC) and calibration (calibration slope and intercept, Greenwood-Nam-D'Agostino (GND) test) of risk equations for diabetic kidney disease (DKD) progression (microalbuminuria, macroalbuminuria, renal failure)
Methodological detailsreal-world population, recalibration of baseline hazards
  • Real-world population
  • Recalibration of baseline hazards
