Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus and its complications are the major cause of morbidity and mortality in India.And this study is for an assessment of economic burden of the disease Objective: This study is to assess the cost of illness in diabetic patients and reduce the economic burden in diabetic patients with complications Methods: A prospective observational study condutedon cost of illiness in diabetic patients with complications, and patient data related cost is collected from the patient in duration of 6 months. Results: The study was conducted on 200 patients, The study revealed that the average management cost per diabeti patient without complications were Rs.12460.47 this includes the average total direct medical cost was (91 %), the average direct non Medical Cost was (1%) and the average total Indirect Cost was (8%) compared to those with DM complications, Rs.56356.73, for macrovascular complications Rs.20744.57 for microvascular complications Rs. 17380.4 and infections including other cost was Rs.18231.76. To treat Diabetes with co morbidities was found to be Rs.17344.38, the average total direct medical cost was Rs.15888.37 (90.1%), the average direct non Medical Cost was Rs.129.15(1%) and the average total Indirect Cost was (8.9%). Conclusion: The results of our study quantify that diabetes with macrovascular complications of direct medical costs and investigational cost had more economic burden. So It suggested that a huge amount of resources could be prevented by taking care, initial understanding of the disease and decrease in DM complications through better medical treatment.
