“…However, this was a survey study, and potential flaws of survey research, including problems with nonresponse, inaccurate recall, and unrepresentative participants, have been previously described (14,15). Furthermore, it has been shown that selfreporting of screening measures by patients with diabetes is inaccurate (16).…”

OBJECTIVE -To determine whether women with diabetes undergo fewer screening mammograms than matched control subjects.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS -A total of 424 women with diabetes aged 50 -75 years who received their primary care from general internists at a large Midwestern multispecialty group practice were retrospectively studied for frequency of mammography from August 1997 to January 2000. Two control subjects without diabetes (n ϭ 845) were matched to each case by age, sex, provider, and date of visit. The main outcome measure was the percentage of subjects undergoing mammography 1 year before and 30 days after an index date, defined as the most recent health care visit after August 1997 and before January 2000.RESULTS -Analysis by conditional logistic regression demonstrated that women with diabetes had significantly lower rates of mammograms than control subjects (78.1 vs. 84.9%, respectively; odds ratio 0.63, P ϭ 0.002). After adjusting for insurance status and race, women with diabetes continued to have significantly lower rates of mammography (odds ratio 0.70, P ϭ 0.027).CONCLUSIONS -Women with diabetes were significantly less likely to undergo screening mammography than control subjects. Considering the increasing incidence of diabetes and the equal incidence of malignancy in women with and without diabetes, it would be beneficial to improve breast cancer screening in this population.

“…However, there was an apparent discrepancy between agreement and the reliability measures of most tests and comorbids. The reasons for these discrepancies were discussed previously in detail [20,21].…”

“…However, agreement was moderate (k=0.37) in the Minnesota-USA study [20], in which findings demonstrated more over-reporting than underreporting of eye examinations by patients. This study found similar findings when comparing self-reports of an eye examination during the previous year with reported referral for eye examination (k=0.20).…”

“…Selfreporting of diabetes-specific data has been shown to present moderate validity and be prone to both under and overreporting. [13,[15][16][17][18][19][20] These studies found variable agreement for eye examinations and eye problems, [17,[19][20][21] diabetic foot, [13,21] erectile dysfunction, [15,16] microalbuminuria, [20,21] levels of glycosylated hemoglobin, [20,21] lipids, [21] blood pressure [2,21] and organ amputation [17].…”

Background: Questionnaire based surveys are an importance tool in epidemiology and public health research. Although there may be a certain degree of bias in this quality of care assessment tool since some of these measurements may be misleading, it remains an inexpensive tool for such assessments. The quality of services provided to diabetic patients in Palestine has not been studied previously. This study provides a context for the measurement of the quality of care of patients with diabetes.

“…Although select studies have indicated that persons with diabetes can accurately report whether or not they have received an A1c test in the past year, 12 other studies indicate that self-reports of A1c tests overstate reality. 13 Future studies might investigate the accuracy of self-reports by following A1c adherence in a group of members with administrative claims data for their ability to accurately report the performance of an A1c test.…”
