- ALOS: average length of stay; CVD: cardiovascular disease; DALY: disability adjusted life years; NA: not available.
- *Population: Figures are taken from a population based study.
- **Service: Figures are taken from a service-based study.
-
a High Risk: CVD (coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease), Kidney (chronic kidney disease stage 3, eGFR < 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2), Eyes (retinopathy), Foot (peripheral neuropathy, peripheral arterial disease).
-
b Acute Complication History – Population based: Kidney (chronic kidney disease stage 4 & 5, eGFR < 30 ml/min per 1.73 m2), Eyes (proliferative diabetes retinopathy), Foot (foot ulcer).
-
c Acute Complication History – Service based: CVD (myocardial infarct, cerebral stroke), Kidney (end stage renal disease, eGFR < 30 ml/min per 1.73 m2), Eyes (blindness), Foot (lower limb amputation).
-
d Hospitalisation: CVD (coronary heart disease, stroke), Kidney (chronic kidney failure), Eyes (retinopathy, glaucoma, cataract), Foot (peripheral neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease, foot ulcer, lower limb amputation).
-
e Burden of disease: CVD (ischaemic heart disease, stroke), Kidney (renal failure), Eyes (retinopathy), Foot (peripheral neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease, foot ulcer, lower limb amputation).
-
f DALY: Healthy life years lost in terms of illness, injury and premature death. DALY combines years of life lost to premature death and years of healthy life lost due to non-fatal health outcomes.
