PREDICT-DM: Community Pharmacy-Based Point-of-Care Testing for Undiagnosed T2DM (PREDICT-DM)
PREDICT-DM: Pharmacy-based Rapid Early Detection and Identification of Cases of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether community pharmacy-based risk assessment and point-of-care HbA1c testing can help detect undiagnosed type 2 diabetes and prediabetes among adults in Irbid Governorate, Jordan, who have no previous diabetes diagnosis.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
What proportion of participants fall into each Finnish Diabetes Risk Score category? What proportion of participants at high or very high risk have HbA1c results within the prediabetes or diabetes range?
Participants will:
Complete the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score questionnaire at a community pharmacy. Receive a finger-prick HbA1c test at the pharmacy if their risk score is 15 or higher.
Visit a general practitioner or primary care facility for diagnostic confirmation if their HbA1c result is abnormal.
Attend follow-up assessments at three and six months if a general practitioner confirms type 2 diabetes.

Detailní popis
The study uses a two-phase prospective observational cohort design. No medical treatment will be assigned by the research team.
During the initial screening phase, trained community pharmacists will administer the Arabic-translated eight-item Finnish Diabetes Risk Score. The score includes age, body mass index, waist circumference, physical activity, fruit and vegetable intake, antihypertensive medication use, history of high blood glucose, and family history of diabetes. Scores will be classified as low risk below 7, slightly elevated risk from 7 to 11, moderate risk from 12 to 14, high risk from 15 to 20, and very high risk above 20.
Participants with a score of 15 or higher will undergo capillary point-of-care HbA1c testing at the community pharmacy using the Clover A1c analyser. Results will be classified as normal below 5.7%, within the prediabetes range from 5.7% to 6.4%, or within the diabetes range at 6.5% or higher.
An abnormal pharmacy HbA1c result will not be considered a confirmed diagnosis. These participants will be referred to a general practitioner or primary care facility for clinical assessment and confirmatory laboratory testing. The general practitioner's assessment will determine the final diagnosis and treatment plan.
Participants with general practitioner-confirmed type 2 diabetes will enter a six-month observational follow-up period. The initial pharmacy HbA1c result will serve as the baseline measurement. HbA1c will be reassessed at three and six months. The research team will document referral completion, diagnostic confirmation, treatment initiation, pharmacist-delivered services, and follow-up findings without directing clinical management.
Participating pharmacists will complete standardized training and competency assessment before conducting study procedures. Standard operating procedures will guide risk assessment, capillary blood collection, HbA1c testing, result documentation, counselling, referral, and follow-up.

Community Pharmacy Visitors Without Diagnosed Diabetes
Adults without a previous diabetes diagnosis will complete FINDRISC screening during a community pharmacy visit.
Participants with a score of 15 or higher will receive point-of-care HbA1c testing at the community pharmacy.
Those with abnormal HbA1c results will be advised to obtain diagnostic confirmation from a general practitioner or primary care facility.
Participants with GP-confirmed type 2 diabetes will enter a six-month follow-up period with HbA1c assessments at three and six months.
The study will not assign medical treatment.
