IDF-DAR Fasting Risk Assessment for Ramadan

Description

Calculates the risk score for patients with diabetes who intend to fast during Ramadan, based on the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and Diabetes and Ramadan (DAR) International Alliance guidelines (2021). The score stratifies patients into Low, Moderate, and High risk categories.

Usage

idf_dar_fasting_risk(type_1_diabetes, duration_gt_10_years, hba1c_value,
                     hypoglycemia_points, complication_points, medication_points,
                     smbg_not_performed, pregnancy, frailty_cognitive,
                     intense_labor, previous_ramadan_bad)

Arguments

type_1_diabetes	Numeric (0 or 1). Is the patient Type 1? (1 = Yes, +1 point).
duration_gt_10_years	Numeric (0 or 1). Is the duration of diabetes > 10 years? (1 = Yes, +1 point).
hba1c_value	Numeric. Current HbA1c percentage. (7.5-9.0: +1 pt; >9.0: +2 pts).
hypoglycemia_points	Numeric. Points based on hypoglycemia history: 0: None/Stable. 1: Hypo occurring but stable/aware. 5.5: Recent severe hypoglycemia, hypoglycemia unawareness, or DKA/HHS within 3 months.
complication_points	Numeric. Sum of points for complications: 0: None. 2: Stable cardiovascular disease. 4: Unstable CVD, Heart Failure, Stroke. 4: Renal impairment eGFR 30-60. 5.5: eGFR < 30 or Dialysis.
medication_points	Numeric. Sum of points for medications used: 0: Metformin, TZD, GLP-1, DPP-4. 0.5: Sulfonylurea (2nd gen), SGLT2 inhibitors (monitor DKA). 1: Glibenclamide (long-acting SU). 1.5: Basal insulin. 2.0: Premix insulin (once daily). 3.0: Multiple dose insulin (MDI) or Pump.
smbg_not_performed	Numeric (0 or 1). Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is NOT performed? (1 = Yes, +2 points).
pregnancy	Numeric (0 or 1). Is the patient pregnant? (1 = Yes, +6.5 points).
frailty_cognitive	Numeric (0 or 1). Frailty, cognitive impairment, or living alone without support? (1 = Yes, +5.5 points).
intense_labor	Numeric (0 or 1). Does the patient perform intense physical labor? (1 = Yes, +1 point).
previous_ramadan_bad	Numeric (0 or 1). Previous negative experience (e.g., admission, severe hypo) during Ramadan? (1 = Yes, +1 point).

Value

A list containing:

Total_Risk_Score	The calculated risk score.
Risk_Category	Classification (Low <=3, Moderate 3.5-6, High >6).
Recommendation	Guidance on fasting safety.
