Objective: In recent decades, the Arab population has experienced an increase in prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), particularly within Gulf Cooperation Council. this context, early intervention programmes rely on ability to identify individuals at risk T2DM. We aimed build prognostic models for T2DM using machine-learning algorithms vs. conventional logistic regression (LR) and simple non-invasive clinical markers over three different time scales (3, 5, 7 years from baseline). Design:...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) poses a significant health challenge in Kuwait, ranking as the second most common with incidence rate 13.2 cases per 100,000 people year 2019. This study aims to determine cost-effectiveness of three colorectal screening methods Kuwait from perspective Kuwait's healthcare providers. Using Decision Tree Analysis Model, compared modalities: Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) followed by colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, alone, sigmoidoscopy alone and alongside no screening....
Cervical cancer is projected to increase by 48% in Kuwait 2035. Detecting cervical early can prevent its progression. Given the paucity of prior research Kuwait, we aimed investigate screening (CCS) prevalence using a representative sample and assess disparities CCS uptake among Kuwaiti women. We obtained (n=3915) through WHO's STEPwise approach noncommunicable disease risk factor surveillance (STEPS). Demographic, socioeconomic, health data were analyzed for women aged 18-69 (n=2292) with...
To assess the level of glycemic, blood pressure, and cholesterol control (the 'ABCs') nationally amongst adults with diabetes living in Kuwait.Using data from two national cross-sectional surveys, levels risk factor were assessed 1,801 diabetes, aged 18-82 years. Glycemic was defined as HbA1c < 7%, pressure systolic diastolic pressures <140/90 mmHg, non-HDL <3.4 mmol/L.The percentage achieving 39.2% (95% CI, 37.0-41.5) for glycemia, 58.4% 56.0-60.7) 28.3% 26.3-30.4) cholesterol. The who...
<title>Abstract</title> Colorectal cancer (CRC) poses a significant health challenge in Kuwait, ranking as the second most common with 2019 incidence rate of 13.2 cases per 100,000 people. This study evaluates cost-effectiveness (CEA) CRC screening methods from perspective Kuwait's healthcare providers. Using Decision Tree Analysis Model, compared three modalities: Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) followed by colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, alone, sigmoidoscopy alone and alongside no screening....

Abstract Background Despite the low incidence of cervical cancer in Kuwait 2018, it is projected that will increase by 48% 2035. This concern considering a preventable disease if detected early. With limited research this area Kuwait, we sought to assess prevalence screening (CCS) among Kuwaiti women. Methods study part WHO's 2014 STEPS risk factor surveillance study. A representative random sample (n = 3915) citizens was recruited (response rate= 89.2%). CCS assessed with question “Have you...
