Economic consequences of diabetes mellitus in the U.S. in 1997. American Diabetes Association
OBJECTIVE: Diabetes is a significant public health problem resulting in
substantial morbidity and mortality. The objectives of this study were 1)
to determine the direct medical and indirect costs attributable to diabetes
and 2) to calculate total and per capita expenditures of people with and
without diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Direct medical and indirect
expenditures attributable to diabetes in 1997 were estimated at $98
billion. Medical expenditures for the treatment of diabetes were estimated
for all individuals in the U.S. in 1997 by age-group, sex, race, type of
condition, and site of service. Productivity costs due to disability and
premature mortality were also estimated for selected patient cohorts.
Etiological fractions based on national health care survey data and
published literature were used to estimate the proportion of health service
utilization and mortality associated with diabetes-related chronic
complications and general medical conditions. RESULTS: Direct medical
expenditures attributable to diabetes in 1997 totaled $44.1 billion and
comprised $7.7 billion for diabetes and acute glycemic care, $11.8 billion
due to the excess prevalence of related chronic complications, and $24.6
billion due to the excess prevalence of general medical conditions. The
majority of attributable expenditures were for inpatient care (62%),
followed by outpatient services (25%) and nursing home care (13%).
Two-thirds of all medical costs for diabetes were borne by elderly people.
Attributable indirect costs totaled $54.1 billion and comprised $17.0
billion resulting from premature mortality and $37.1 billion from
disability. Total medical expenditures incurred by people with diabetes
totaled $77.7 billion or $10,071 per capita, compared with $2,669 for
people without diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: The economic burden of diabetes
mellitus in the U.S. is enormous. Medical innovations that can delay the
onset and slow the progression of diabetes have tremendous potential to
mitigate the associated clinical and cost repercussions.
