This study showed the validity of the models and the algorithm for finding pre-DM/DM cases in a Chinese PC population in Hong Kong. They can facilitate more cost-effective identification of high-risk individuals for blood testing to diagnose pre-DM/DM in PC. Further studies should recalibrate the models for more precise risk estimation in PC populations.
