PBS Diabetes Population Prevalence Model – Phase 2
Launched

To download the PBS Phase 2 Click Here

New features of the PBS Phase 2 model include:

  • Estimates of diabetes prevalence for all sub-national areas are adjusted for socio-economic deprivation;
  • Forecasts of 2010 diabetes prevalence down to Local Authority District level that account for the anticipated ageing of the local population and national growth in prevalence of overweight and obesity;
  • Pre-calculated estimates of diabetes prevalence at ward level;
  • A second tool for users to calculate diabetes prevalence for user-defined population. This calculator is aimed at General Practice population and has reduced data requirements compared to the full model.

Health Intelligence Sources of Data and Information in Diabetes

Health intelligence sources in diabetes – PREVALENCE and INCIDENCE

There are several diabetes prevalence sources available. A guide comparing these is available from the Yorkshire and Humber Public Health Observatory (PHO) website.

Diabetes e-Atlas

Global epidemiological data about diabetes. It contains the latest data on diabetes prevalence and health care expenditure in over 200 countries and territories.

Diabetes UK

Updated Diabetes Prevalence Model for Diagnosed T1 and T2 in UK. See also their report “Diabetes in the UK 2004” at http://www.diabetes.org.uk/infocentre/reports/in_the_UK_2004.doc
http://www.diabetes.org.uk

Diabetes-e

This web based self-assessment tool includes a requirement for practices to enter information on their practice population and their population with diabetes. It therefore provides an estimate of the number of people predicted to have diabetes and compares this to the reported number.

The National Clinical Diabetes Audit Support Programme (NCASP)

Predicts the number of people on practice diabetes registers for PCTs and SHAs. The model seeks to compare the number of people with diabetes on local registers to the number of predicted registrations based on the population structure, ethnicity and deprivation.

nGMS

Indicator DM1 within the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) requires general practices to maintain a register of all patients with diabetes mellitus. Over time this will provide a robust source of comparative data on disease incidence and prevalence at a very local level.

Health Survey for England

This annual survey collects data on the health and lifestyles of people in England. Diabetes prevalence data was collected in 1991, 1993, 1994, 1998 and 1999.
Note that the HSE is a representative sample and that the survey relies on self-reports of diagnosis.

Simplifying Diabetes Information Group

With Diabetes E, NCASP (National Clinical Audit Support Team), the YHPHO PBS prevalence model and GMS all available it is not surprising there is some confusion over the information programmes and resources available to the diabetes community. To overcome some of this a small working party has been set up with the aim of explaining what each does, does not do, how they work together and how they can more effectively interact. The aim is to produce unified and simplified products that meet the needs of service providers as well as people with diabetes but also provide the information essential to allow services to monitor and improve their services. Already some first steps have been taken. A simple guide to the prevalence models has been published and in future NCASP have agreed that they will use the YHPHO PBS model for data analysis.

Diabetes Information Strategy

The Diabetes Information Strategy and the Diabetes National Service Framework: Delivery Strategy that it supports were launched alongside one another on the 9th January 2003. The strategy is intended to ensure that the information infrastructure, systems and services are put in place to support the needs of people with diabetes and and deliver the improved services outlined in the NSF.

WHO "Diabetes Action Plan"

3.2 million deaths can be attributed to diabetes each year according to a new publication released today by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) to mark the launch of their joint programme "Diabetes Action Now". Updated estimates suggest that six deaths can be attributed to diabetes or related conditions somewhere in the world every minute, a figure three times higher than previous calculations.
