The healthcare and economic burden associated with inadequate risk factor control for type 2 diabetes in Hong Kong: A population-based modelling study.
Aim: To estimate the healthcare and economic burden associated with improved risk factor control for people with type 2 diabetes in Hong Kong over 10 years.
Materials and methods: We obtained population-based data from electronic healthcare records of the Hong Kong Hospital Authority. Risk factor targets were defined by American Diabetes Association guidelines. We applied a validated patient-level diabetes outcomes model (Chinese Hong Kong Integrated Modelling and Evaluation) to estimate the health and economic outcomes for all individuals with type 2 diabetes (n = 526 672) in Hong Kong in 2021. Immediate risk factor control was compared to baseline over 10 years. Costs were estimated from a healthcare provider perspective.
Results: Most people (84.9%) failed to achieve optimal combined risk factors control (glycated haemoglobin, blood pressure and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol) at baseline. Combined control was associated with population-level increases in quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) of 17 605 and healthcare cost savings of US$ 106.7 million over 10 years. Glycaemic control solely yielded the greatest QALY increases and had the highest cost savings (US$ 29.0 million) over 10 years.
Conclusions: The substantial population health and economic burden of inadequate risk factor control for individuals with diabetes in Hong Kong can potentially be mitigated through enhanced adherence, highlighting the need for effective and intensive interventions.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism is primarily a journal of clinical and experimental pharmacology and therapeutics covering the interrelated areas of diabetes, obesity and metabolism. The journal prioritises high-quality original research that reports on the effects of new or existing therapies, including dietary, exercise and lifestyle (non-pharmacological) interventions, in any aspect of metabolic and endocrine disease, either in humans or animal and cellular systems. ‘Metabolism’ may relate to lipids, bone and drug metabolism, or broader aspects of endocrine dysfunction. Preclinical pharmacology, pharmacokinetic studies, meta-analyses and those addressing drug safety and tolerability are also highly suitable for publication in this journal. Original research may be published as a main paper or as a research letter.
