Screening av prediabetes
(2022) NEKH01 20221Department of Economics
- Abstract
- Over the past years type 2 diabetes has become a complex consequence of better economic standards with growing economic and life quality costs. Prevention and deferral of type 2 diabetes through detection and preventive treatment of prediabetes will be crucial. The method of detection is therefore an important part in the prevention of type 2 diabetes.
The aim of this essay was to analyze the cost efficiency of screening for prediabetes in Sweden with a novel method called CGM-measuring compared to existing methods (IFG and OGTT). The empirical foundation in the essay was scientific medical articles in combination with population data from Swedish authorities. The method was quantitative and relied on statistical Markov model for costs...

The aim of this essay was to analyze the cost efficiency of screening for prediabetes in Sweden with a novel method called CGM-measuring compared to existing methods (IFG and OGTT). The empirical foundation in the essay was scientific medical articles in combination with population data from Swedish authorities. The method was quantitative and relied on statistical Markov model for costs and efficiency. The study has a theoretical base in health economics, relying on concepts such as QALYS, decision tree, the cost efficiency plane, Markov cycles and a cost efficiency analysis.
The findings of this essay showed that screening for prediabetes is more efficient using CGM-measuring than OGTT and IFG in terms of both QALYS and costs, but the CGM-method turned out to be price sensitive. By raising the price with 20-30% the CGM-method was no longer a dominant alternative since the cost efficiency ratio turned from negative to positive. (Less)
