Pre2D

Overview

Pre2D is a predictive model developed using data from THIN (The Health Improvement Network) in the UK. Its purpose is to identify patients in the pre-diabetes stage who are likely to develop diabetes within the next two years.

The criteria for defining diabetes are as follows:

  • Two consecutive fasting glucose tests above 125 mg/dL
  • HbA1C above 6.5
  • A single glucose measurement above 200 mg/dL
  • A diabetes diagnosis code with at least one abnormal test (glucose or HbA1C)
  • Evidence of treatment with any glucose-lowering agent other than metformin

Model Inputs

The model utilizes the following input signals:

  • Birth year (used to calculate age)
  • Sex
  • Measurements: BMI
  • Diabetes screening: Glucose, HbA1C
  • Lipid panel: Triglycerides, HDL
  • WBC
  • ALT
  • Prescriptions (optional): NDC, RX NORM, which may be converted to ATC codes in the future

Intended Usage
