Cost-effectiveness of a diabetes detection program in childbearing women to prevent malformationsBackground: In Chile, in the next 20 years there will be an average number of 537,100 women of childbearing age with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Half of these women, not knowing their diagnosis of diabetes will become pregnant with elevated glycosylated hemoglobin levels, increasing to 25% the risk of having offspring with congenital malformations. Aim: To calculate the cost-effectiveness of a diabetes detection strategy in women of childbearing age for the prevention of congenital malformations in the period 2020-2039. Material and Methods: The Markov stochastic model was used in two scenarios, namely A: No intervention and B: Intervention, detecting T2DM in Chilean women aged 15-49 years. We calculated the years of life lost due to premature death (YLL), years of life lost adjusted for disability (DALY) and total costs using American dollars (
