Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is the biggest country in the Arabian Peninsula; it is the second-largest in the Arab world after Algeria. Located in Southwest Asia, it occupies an area about the size of the United States east of the Mississippi River (approximately 868,000 square miles). Around 27 million people, with 8.4 million foreign residents, its annual growth rate is 2.2% (Figure1-1)[1]. The median age is 25.7 years; for men it is 26.7 years and for women it is 24.4 years. The birth rate is 19.19 births per 1,000 people, and the death rate is 3.32 deaths per 1,000 people. The net migration rate is -0.64 migrant(s) per 1,000 people. The maternal mortality rate is 24 deaths per 100,000 live births, and the infant mortality rate is 15.61 deaths per 1,000 live births. The life expectancy at birth is 74.35 years, and the fertility rate is 2.26 children born per woman [2]. The majority of the population was nomadic until 1996; however, currently more than 95% of the population is settled, a result of rapid economic growth and consequent urbanization.
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Overview of the Country
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. There have been two risk scores developed in Saudi Arabia. The first was developed in 2013 to detect individuals with undiagnosed diabetes (Handlos et al., 2013). The risk score was developed using a cross-section study design, recruiting participants from Jeddah and Riyadh through convenience sampling. A total of 2,446 adults aged 30-75 participated in this study, including Arabs and non-Arabs. The study excluded individuals with a previous diagnosis of diabetes and pregnant women, and 86.1% of the study population was Arab. Having diabetes was defined as having a HbA1c ≥ 6.5%. Stepwise backward elimination was used to develop a risk score for undiagnosed diabetes that included age, gender, BMI, gestational diabetes, ethnicity, and number of siblings with diabetes. The diabetes risk score had a sensitivity of 74% [67-81%] and a specificity of 52% [49-54%]. The risk score for dysglycemia contained the same variables as its risk score for diabetes, except for male and ethnicity. The sensitivity and specificity of the dysglycemia risk score was 74% [70-78%], 55% [53-57%], respectively. Neither risk score was not validated. The weak study design and lack of external validation limits the generalizability to the Saudi population as a whole. In 2015, Memish, et al. developed risk scores to detect diabetes and dysglycemia, using data from collected from 1,435 Saudi adults, 20 years of age or older (Memish et al., 2015). Pregnant women and those with a current diagnosis of diabetes were excluded. Data was collected through convenience sampling at urban and rural primary healthcare centers in 2009. The outcome of diabetes was defined as fasting plasma glucose ≥7.0 mmol/L or 2-h post-load glucose ≥11.1 mmol/L. The outcome of dysglycemia was defined as fasting plasma glucose ≥5.6 mmol/L or 2-h post-load glucose ≥7.8 mmol/L. The risk scores were developed using stepwise, forward, and backward logistic regression and were internally validated in a smaller hold-out sample. The final risk score for detecting diabetes included five variables: age, history of gestational diabetes, smoking, family history of diabetes, and central obesity. The diabetes risk score had a sensitivity of 76.6% [70.3–81.9%] and a specificity of 52.1% [49.3–54.9%]. The final risk score for detecting dysglycemia (both diabetes and prediabetes) included four variables: age, history of gestational diabetes, central obesity, and hypertension status. The dysglycemia risk score had a sensitivity of 71....
