Economic Impact of Diabetes: Estimating the Incremental Costs of Diabetes-Related Complications in Western Australia Using Linked Administrative Data

Key Points

This research aims to estimate the economic impact of diabetes-related complications, focusing on vascular issues.
Utilized linked administrative data from healthcare records in Western Australia
Identified costs associated with different diabetes-related complications
Analyzed the cost impact of timely interventions to prevent complications
Substantial healthcare costs were attributed to vascular complications in diabetes patients
Effective interventions could potentially reduce overall economic burden
Findings highlight the critical need for timely healthcare strategies to manage complications

Abstract

Complications, particularly vascular complications, are associated with substantial healthcare costs in people with diabetes. Timely and evidence-based interventions are needed to prevent or delay the development and progression of diabetes-related complications, particularly vascular complications, to drive cost savings and improve health and well-being.
