PG - 209-219 LID - 10.1007/s41669-017-0050-3 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: Our objects was to estimate the direct healthcare costs of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in France in 2013. METHODS: Data were drawn from a random sample of approximately 600,000 patients registered in the French national health insurances database, which covers 90% of the French population. An algorithm was used to select patients with T2DM. Direct healthcare costs from a collective perspective were derived from the database and compared with those from a control group to estimate the cost of diabetes and related comorbidities. Overall direct costs were also compared according to the diabetes therapies used throughout the year 2013. RESULTS: Cost analysis was available for a sample of 25,987 patients with T2DM (mean age 67.5 +/- standard deviation 12.5; 53.9% male) matched with a control group of 76,406 individuals without diabetes. Overall per patient per year medical expenditures were euro6506 +/- 10,106 in the T2DM group as compared with euro3668 +/- 6954 in the control group. The cost difference between the two groups was euro2838 per patient per year, mainly due to hospitalizations, medication and nursing care costs. Total per capita annual costs were lowest for patients receiving metformin monotherapy (euro4153 +/- 6170) and highest for those receiving insulin (euro12,890). However, apart from patients receiving insulin, costs did not differ markedly across the different oral treatment patterns. CONCLUSION: Extrapolating these results to the whole T2DM population in France, total direct costs of diagnosed T2DM in 2013 was estimated at over euro8.5 billion. This estimate highlights the substantial economic burden of this condition on society. FAU - Charbonnel, Bernard AU - Charbonnel B AD - Hotel Dieu Hospital, Nantes, France.
