Estimating Quality of Life Decrements Due to Diabetes Complications in the United States: The Health Utility Index (HUI) Diabetes Complication Equation

Abstract: Objective-Health utility decrements associated with diabetes complications are essential for calculating quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) in patients for use in economic evaluation of diabetes interventions. Previous studies mostly focused on assessing the impact of complications on health utility at event year based on cross-sectional data. This study aimed to separately estimate health utility decrements associated with current and previous diabetes complications.Research Design and Methods-The Health Uti… Show more

“…Ordinary least squares regression analysis investigated the correlation between costs of days absent from work and complication indicators, see Equation ( 1 ). Regression analyses have been applied in several studies of diabetes complications [ 6 , 8 , 32 , 33 ]; in our study, the large sample size allowed the use of simple methods as the analyses depend on sample means and variances [ 31 ].…”

“…Time spent in each T2DM health state was summed to provide estimates of life expectancy and quality-adjusted life expectancy. We calculated the incremental costs, incremental life-years (LYs), incremental qualityadjusted life-years (QALYs), and incremental cost per LY value for a given year was derived from a baseline utility and applicable regression coefficients as estimated by Shao et al (2019) for (a) complications in the year of an event, (b) history of complications, and (c) demographic characteristics. 26 We added missing regression coefficients for foot ulcer and amputation events by assuming values from a recent diabetes utility study by Sullivan and Ghushchyan (2016).…”

“…1 As diabetes progresses, it can permanently damage target organs, causing complications such as diabetic nephropathy, heart failure, stroke, angina, and diabetic retinopathy. [2][3][4] T1DM is characterized by irreversible islet β cell destruction resulted from T-cell-mediated autoimmune disorder, which eventually leads to absolute insulin deficiency. 5 Nowadays, diet control, oral hypoglycemic drugs and insulin injection are the most common applied diabetes therapies.…”
