Standard addition

Development and validation of a model using routine clinical features to improve diabetes diagnosis.

Machine-learning models can identify which people need glucose tolerance tests using routine lab values and vital signs.

This diagnostic model development and validation study examined development and validation of a model using routine clinical features to improve diabetes diagnosis. The abstract reports that machine-learning models can improve the detection of individuals who would need OGTT assessment to diagnose diabetes using standard nonfasting laboratory values and vital signs with and without FPG.
