Introduction
FINDRISC (Finnish Diabetes Risk Score) is a risk assessment tool widely used for the prediction of the development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), combining a questionnaire with simple anthropometric measurements to identify patients at risk of developing diabetes, with increasing score (0-26) signifying increased risk. A cut off score of 9 has previously been proposed (with drug-treated DM as the endpoint) with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 0.12 and negative predictive value (NPV) of 0.99, area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AuROC)=0.80. It has been well validated in the general population.
