A taxonomy of indicators for non-communicable diseases: agreement, definition, and contextual description using diabetes as a case study
The expert group delivered general guidance on criteria and principles for the selection of NCD indicators, using diabetes as a case study. The core set of six diabetes indicators can be used as a field-test for future reporting initiatives. In this context, disease registries can provide the high-quality data needed to compute reliable indicators. Targeted projects are needed to design a cohesive health information system of NCD indicators.
