Objective: The purpose of this study is to estimate the cost-effectiveness of screening, treatment, and examination of patients with type 2 diabetes during a yearly period and expose its importance in diabetes control. Materials and Methods: Five hundred patients with type 2 diabetes who had received outpatient therapy in the past year were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into three categories according to their hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (%) levels: good control (HbA1c <7%), fair control (HbA1c 7%–10%), and poor control (HbA1c >10%). Average annual costs of treatment, examination, and laboratory workup were compared for the three groups. Results: The average annual cost of medication for 500 type 2 diabetes patients was $556.50, while the cost of screening and examination was $89.20 per patient. The average yearly treatment cost per patient was $287.90 for patients with HbA1c ≤7%, $647.90 for patients with HbA1c 7%–10%, and $752.40 patients with HbA1c ≥10%. The average annual costs of treatment with only oral anti-diabetic drugs (OAD), insulin only, and both OAD and insulin were $154.80, $837.50, and $819.30, respectively. Conclusion: While the cost to treat diabetic patients with good control was significantly lower than the treatment cost of patients with poor control, there was no significant difference in laboratory workup and examination costs. When patients treated with OAD only, insulin only and OAD + insulin were compared, treatment costs for the OAD only group were significantly lower than the costs to treat the insulin only and OAD + insulin groups. No correlation between age or sex and medication cost were found. However, a strong correlation was found between diabetes duration and treatment cost.

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı; bir yıllık süre içerisinde takip ettiğimiz tip 2 diyabetik hastaların tedavi, tetkik ve muayene için harcanan maliyetlerini ortaya koyup, bu maliyetlerin bir yıllık kontrolde ne kadar etkili olduğunu göstermektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Son bir yıl içinde Tip 2 Diyabet tanısı ile polikliniğimizde ayaktan takip edilen 500 hasta çalışmaya alındı. HbA1c (%) değerlerine göre ‘iyi regüle ≤7’, ‘kötü regüle7-10’, ‘çok kötü regüle ≥10’ olmak üzere 3 gruba ayrıldı ve üç grubun ortalama yıllık tedavi, muayene ve tahlil maliyetleri hesaplanarak karşılaştırmaları yapıldı.Bulgular: Son bir yıldır poliklinikte takip edilen 500 Tip 2 Diyabet tanısı olan hastanın bir yıllık ilaç maliyeti ortalaması kişi başı 1614 TL, ortalama muayene ve tahlil maliyeti ise 250 TL olarak hesaplandı. HbA1c ≤7 olan hastalarda bir yıllık ortalama tedavi maliyeti 835 TL, HbA1c 7-10 arasında olan hastalarda 1879 TL iken, HbA1c ≥10 olan hastalarda ise 2182 TL saptandı. Sadece oral antidiyabetik (OAD) kullanan grubun bir yıllık ortalama ilaç maliyeti 449 TL iken bu değer insülin kullanan grupta: 2429 TL ve OAD+insülin grubunda ise 2376 TL saptandı. Sonuç: Tedavi maliyetleri açısından değerlendirildiğinde iyi kontrollü diyabetik hastaların tedavi maliyetleri, kötü kontrollü hastalardan anlamlı olarak daha düşük iken, iki grup arasında muayene ve tahlil harcamalarında anlamlı fark saptanmadı. OAD kullanan grup ile insülin ve OAD+insülin kullanan gruplar karşılaştırıldığında, OAD kullanan grubun tedavi maliyeti diğer iki grubun maliyetinden anlamlı olarak düşük tespit edildi. Yaş ve cinsiyet ile diyabet ilaç maliyeti arasında korelasyon yokken, diyabet yaşı ile tedavi maliyeti arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı korelasyon saptandı.
