Khalid Ali Al-Rubeaan (Arabic: خالد علي الربيعان; born 13 February 1956) is a Saudi endocrinologist at King Saud University. He wrote the main papers from the SAUDI-DM household survey and from analyses of the Saudi National Diabetes Registry. The 2015 SAUDI-DM report is one of two sources the International Diabetes Federation now uses for adult diabetes figures in Saudi Arabia. A 2023 review of type 2 diabetes in the country, and a 2024 review of diabetic retinopathy, both included that work.[1][2][3]
Education
[edit]Al-Rubeaan was born on 13 February 1956. He took an M.B.B.S. at King Saud University in 1980, the FRCPC in 1988, and special competence in endocrinology and metabolism in 1989.[4]
Career
[edit]In 2004 Al Yaum in Dammam ran a feature that quoted him on the spread of diabetes in the Gulf.[5] Three years later the Ministry of Health named him as director of the diabetes centre at King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Riyadh when he spoke at a ministry symposium on chronic disease.[6] The Saudi Press Agency used the same title in March 2009, reporting that the university centre had signed research agreements with the National University of Singapore, the University of Lille and the University of California.[7]
The Saudi National Diabetes Registry, as described in a 2013 methods paper from his group, opened in 2001 as a web-based clinical file. The audited set used for reporting in 2012 numbered 84,942 patients; the hosted file was a little over 111,000.[8] Authors of a later paediatric register treated the SNDR as the national adult registry already running.[9]
He is director of the Research and Scientific Center at Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Humanitarian City in Riyadh.[10]
Research
[edit]SAUDI-DM surveyed 18,034 adults aged 30 and older. The 2015 paper put diabetes in that group at 25.4 percent, with 40.3 percent of those cases previously undiagnosed, and impaired fasting glucose at 25.5 percent.[11] The IDF Atlas lists that paper as one of two sources for its current Saudi adult estimates.[1] Jarrar et al. (2023) included the SAUDI-DM reports among the nationwide studies in their meta-analysis of type 2 diabetes prevalence from 2000 to 2020.[2]
Registry papers from the cleaned adult file gave a diabetic foot rate of 3.3 percent in 62,681 patients aged 25 and over, and a retinopathy rate of 19.7 percent in 50,464 patients with type 2 diabetes.[12][13] Alshahrani et al. (2024) scored the retinopathy paper 9/9 on the Newcastle–Ottawa scale and treated the lower prevalence as a large outlier that added to heterogeneity in the pooled figure.[3]
Recognition
[edit]In 2017 his Arabic book Tawaruth al-Sukari (Arabic: توارث السكري, Diabetes Inheritance), published by King Saud University Press in 2016, won the Ministry of Culture and Information Book Award in the health sciences category.[14][15]
