From: Prediction model for high glycated hemoglobin concentration among ethnic Chinese in Taiwan
Nomogram to calculate the probability of high glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c > 7%) using the clinical (upper) and biochemical (lower) models. In the clinical models, sex (women as 0, men as 1), age, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), family history of diabetes (FHX), smoking, and systolic blood pressure (SBP) are calculated by reading from the point scale. In the biochemical model, only triglyceride (TG) is calculated. The total point score is then translated into probability of high HbA1c using the bottom scales, including total points and probability. For example, the probability of high HbA1c with a total point score of 170 is then 0.06, according to the two bottom lines. The participants can be classified according to the absolute probabilities accordingly.
