ADDITION-Cambridge Objective • Assess the impact of a population-based screening program on mortality among people at high risk of undiagnosed diabetes
ADDITION-Cambridge Study Design • Cluster-randomized, controlled trial • Study population: 20,184 individuals (mean age 58 years, 64% men) from 32 general practices, who were considered to be at high risk of diabetes based on a validated risk score • 27 practices were randomly assigned to a screening group (n=16,047) and 5 practices to a no-screening control group (n=4137) • Patients and practitioners in the no-screening group were unaware of the patients’ high-risk status • All participants were tagged for mortality at the Office for National Statistics and followed for 10 years
ADDITION-Cambridge Primary Analysis • Comparison of all-cause mortality rates and CV, cancer, and diabetes-related mortality rates between the screening and control groups Findings • Over a median follow-up of 9.6 years, 15,089 (94%) of the high-risk individuals in screening practices were invited for screening • 11,737 (73.1%) attended • 466 (2.9%) were diagnosed with diabetes • 4137 subjects were followed in the no-screening practices • There were no differences in mortality rates by study group
ADDITION-Cambridge Cumulative Incidence Rate
ADDITION-Cambridge Mortality Rate by Study Group
ADDITION-Cambridge Conclusion • The benefits of screening for diabetes may have been overestimated and limited to those who are diagnosed and treated early • The benefits of screening might be improved by • The detection and management of related CV risk factors alongside assessment of diabetes risk • Repeated rounds of screening • The identification of non-attenders and strategies to maximize their utilization of screening
