What are the componenets you should ask about when using Diabetes Risk score?
Age, ethnic background, 1st degree relative with DM, hypertension, sex, waist circumference, BMI, common symptoms (polyuria, polydypsia, unexplained weight loss, visual blurring, infection and fatigue)
What are the componenets you ask about when using QRISK2 score?
Age, Sex, Smoking status, Diabetes status, Antihypertensives use, AF, RA, CKD stage 4/5, Angina/MI in 1st degree relative.
Also = BMI, Systolic BP, Postcode, Ethnicity and Cholesterol/HDL level
What are the componenets you ask about when using CHA2DS2-VASc score?
Congestive Heart Failure Hypertension Age (65-74 = 1 point, >75 = 2 points) Diabetes Sex (female = 1 point) Stroke history Peripheral vascular disease
What is normal INR on warfarin?
2-3
What are the componenets you ask about when using Well’s score?
Bedridden? Recent major surgeries? Paralysis/immobilisation? History of DVT? Active cancer? Recent flights? COCP/HRT? Smoking?
Examine: pitting oedema, calf swelling >3cm, tenderness, collateral veins, whole leg swelling
What are the componenets you ask about when using FRAX score?
Previous fracture, parental hip fracture, current smoking/alcohol intake, BMI, glucocoricoid use, RA, secondary oesteoporosis, age, sex, weight, height, femoral neck bone mineral density (DEXA scan)
Which medical conditions can cause secondary osteoporosis?
Kidney failure, Cushing’s, Coeliac, MS, Hyperparathyroidism, Hyperthyroidism, Diabetes
What do the T-score results mean?
> = -1 = normal bone density
-1 to -2.5 = oesteopenia
<= -2.5 = oesteoporosis
What should you say if you think a patient is high risk based on their QRISK 2 score?
Lifestyle advice!
Healthy diet, weight loss, exercise, smoking cessation, disease control - adherance to medicaiton (if not already on medications consider starting)
What should you say if you think a patient is at high risk or low risk based on their CHA2DS2VASc score?
High risk = anticoagulation/antiplatelet therapy
Low risk = consider anticoaguant therapy (consider risks vs benefits)
Lifestyle advice - healthy diet, exercise, smoking cessation and vitamin K in leafy green veg if on warfarin
What should you say if you think a patient is risk based on their Well’s score?
Investigations = D-dimer and USS doppler
Treatment = LMW heparin, anticoagulants
Lifestyle adivce = diet, exercise, smoking cessation, other RFs e.g. COCP
What should you say if you think a patient is high risk based on their Diabetes Risk score?
Diet advice = regular meals, reduce portion sizes and starchy carbs, decrease fat, eat 5 fruits/veg, 2 portions of oily fish, limit sugar, decrease salt and moderate alcohol
Exercise = 150 mins/week, increase HR and RR, build up gradually, walking/gardening/housework/cycling.
If high risk can have tests!
Benefits and effort from change > long term effects of diabetes
What is the CHA2DS2VASc score?
Calculates the risk of stroke in patients with AF
What is the QRISK 2 score?
Calculates the risk of CVD in the next 10 years
What is HbA1c in diabetes and prediabetes?
Pre-diabetes = 42-48 Diabetes = >48
