Abstract
Aims The United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study Outcomes Model version 2 (UKPDS‐OM2) is a health economic decision model supporting long‐term evaluation of treatment options in diabetes. The aim of the study was to externally validate the model by comparing the predicted and observed outcomes in two European population‐based cohorts of people with type 2 diabetes. Materials and methods We used data from the Casale Monferrato Survey (CMS) [n=1931] and a subgroup of the Hoorn Diabetes Care System (DCS) cohorts [N=5188]. The following outcomes were analysed: all‐cause mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), ischaemic heart disease (IHD), stroke, and congestive heart failure (CHF). Model performance was assessed by comparing predictions with observed cumulative incidences in each cohort during follow‐up. Results All‐cause mortality was overestimated by the UKPDS‐OM2 in both the cohorts, with a bias of 0.05 in CMS and 0.12 in DCS at 10 years of follow‐up. For MI, predictions were consistently higher than observed incidence over the entire follow‐up in both cohorts (10 years bias 0.07 for CMS and 0.10 for DCS). The model performed well for stroke and IHD outcomes in both cohorts. Heart failure incidence was predicted well for DCS (5 years bias ‐0.001) but underestimated for CMS. Conclusions UKPDS‐OM2 consistently overpredicted the risk of mortality and MI in both cohorts during follow‐up. Period effects may partially explain the differences. Results indicate that transferability is not satisfactory for all outcomes and new or adjusted risk equations may be needed before applying the model to the Italian or Dutch settings.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
