Diabetes in Canada: Direct Medical Costs of Major Macrovascular Complications

Abstract: Macrovascular complications of diabetes potentially represent a substantial burden to Canada's health care system. As new therapies emerge that may reduce the incidence of some diabetic complications, decision makers will need information to make critical decisions regarding how to spend limited health care dollars. Published literature lacks Canadian-specific cost estimates that may be readily translated into patient-level cost inputs for an economic model. This paper provides two key pieces of the many neede… Show more

“…For those who developed diabetes, the cost estimates for its management were based on previously developed cost profiles for each of the complication pathways considered in the diabetes submodel. 193,194 For each complication, the average direct cost of managing such an event from the acute phase until death was estimated. Costs included in these calculations included hospitalisation costs, home healthcare services, outpatient services, nursing home care, laboratory tests, drugs, emergency room visits and diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.…”

“…For example, if a new drug is more expensive but reduces the frequency of hyperglycemia then its economic assessment must address costs at a more detailed level. Building on our previously published work on the Canadian costs of major macrovascular complications of diabetes [12], the aim of this paper is to provide key pieces of that complex economic puzzle. This paper presents updated Canadian-specific cost information for macrovascular complications and new information on microvascular complications.…”

Mantovani (1) ABSTRACT Introduction: cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the major component of premature mortality, generate disability and are a relevant source of cost. The growing incidence of CVD is associated with lifestyle and other modifiable risk factors.…”

“…Tale peso è attribuibile a due circostanze: la gestione del diabete in se stesso ed il trattamento delle sue complicanze [1,2]. Il diabete mellito è una malattia molto diffusa associata ad un incremento del rischio di malattie concomitanti e di morte.…”
