Economic Evaluation of Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion for Children with Diabetes—Part II
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study is to assess long-term metabolic outcomes in children with diabetes mellitus and to compare the efficacy, feasibility and metabolic control expenses for treatment with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII), compared to human insulin treatment. The study sample included 34 children aged 3 to 18 years with type 1 diabetes, 17 with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy and 17 with standard treatment with human insulin. The study observed for the following variables: duration of the disease, diabetic control, HbA1c deviation scores; height and weight deviation and price of the treatment. Methods applied include meta-analyses in the published medical literature, pharmacoeconomic analysis and statistical analysis. From the 34 children with diabetes type 1 observed retrospectively during the period 1999-2012, 17 were on CSII (mean age 10 years, mean duration of the disease—7 years, average usage of CSII—3 years). The test stripes cost 533 Euro/year (1100 stripes per year) and their average cost according to the duration of the disease is 3779.45 Euro since diagnosis. The blood glucose monitoring system costs 20 Euro and for the duration of the disease—4.96 Euro per patient per year. The average improvement of HbA(1c) after the CSI

Comparing Effects of Continuous Insulin Infusion with or without Subcutaneous Glargine Insulin on Glycemic Control in Diabetic Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)
OBJECTIVE: Hyperglycemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients following coronary artery bypass grafting. Tight glycemic control in perioperative period can reduce these events. The goal of this study was to determine whether combination of continuous infusion and subcutaneous glargine as a basal insulin could improve glycemic control. MATERIAL AND METHODS:...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study is to assess the cost of using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion to treat children with type-1diabetes in Bulgaria, considering changes in body mass index (BMI) and the glycated hemoglobin. The study was performed from the perspective of the Bulgarian National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) and patients. METHODS A total of 34 pediatric type-1-diabet...
متن کاملContinuous subcutaneous insulin infusion versus multiple daily injections in individuals with type 1 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
The relative efficacy of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion and multiple daily injections in individuals with type 1 diabetes is unclear. We sought to synthesize the existing evidence about the effect of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion on glycosylated hemoglobin, hypoglycemic events, and time spent in hypoglycemia compared to multiple daily injections. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE...
متن کاملPosition statement: Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion in very young children with type 1 diabetes.
Insulin pump therapy has become increasingly popular for the treatment of type 1 diabetes in pediatric patients. Although significant experience has accrued with the use of this modality in older children and adolescents, much less data are available regarding continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion in the very young. Policies of individual physician practices and insurance companies vary wide...
متن کاملContinuous subcutaneous insulin infusion in diabetes: patient populations, safety, efficacy, and pharmacoeconomics
The level of glycaemic control necessary to achieve optimal short-term and long-term outcomes in subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) typically requires intensified insulin therapy using multiple daily injections or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion. For continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, the insulins of choice are the rapid-acting insulin analogues, insulin aspart, insul...
