Multicenter StudyThe relative burden of diabetes complications on healthcare costs: The population-based CINECA-SID ARNO Diabetes Observatory.
In the present population-based study, we aimed to describe the per patient annual healthcare cost of people with diabetes in 2007-2012, to assess the relative burden of diabetes complications and other potential determinants on healthcare costs in the 2012 cohort, and to describe and analyse the determinants of the cost of incident cases diagnosed in 2012. ⋯ The present study provides evidence on the excess of healthcare costs due to diabetes complications in both prevalent and incident cases.
