Economic evaluation of therapeutic interventions to prevent Type 2 diabetes in Canada

Abstract: The results of this model suggest that the treatment of IGT in Canada is a cost-effective way to prevent diabetes and may generate savings. While pharmacological treatments tended to be less costly, intensive lifestyle modification, if maintained, led to the greatest health benefits at reasonable incremental costs.

“…Caro and colleagues 173 predicted from their model that over the 10-year period considered, 70 of the 1000 IGT patients in the cohort would be expected to die in the absence of treatment and 543 would develop diabetes. Intensive lifestyle modification was estimated to prevent 117 of these cases and metformin and acarbose were estimated to prevent 52 and 74 cases, respectively.…”

“…Palmer and colleagues 172 used a similar approach to Caro and colleagues 173 to extrapolate the findings from the DPP trial over the lifetime of patients. They assessed the long-term costs and outcomes of the lifestyle and metformin interventions, as reported in the DPP trial, 90 relative to the control arm.…”
