ABSTRACT

Objective:

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a serious public health problem in Brazil. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of long-acting insulin analogues in controlling glycemia in type 1 DM patients and to analyze the direct costs of the treatment.

Methods:

A retrospective cohort study was undertaken with data collected from the State Health Secretary's 2nd Regional Health Center from the State of Paraná. After randomization, socio-demographic data, the source of their drug prescriptions, and the pharmacotherapeutic profiles of the drugs were collected, along with clinical outcome information, such as glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting plasma glucose levels. The direct costs of treatment with analogue insulin were evaluated based on the drugs and supplies acquisition data from the Center for Drugs, Paraná Cemepar.

Results:

One hundred and forty-eight type 1 diabetes mellitus patients, older than 18 years of age, were included in the cohort study. The HbA1c reduction after the insulin treatment was 0.36 ± 2.75, and the direct costs to reduce this parameter by 1% over a period of 24 months were U$ 1,806. The estimated costs to reduce HbA1c by 1% are U$ 5,016.

Conclusions:

In this study, we were able to estimate the public health system costs of using insulin analogues to reduce HbA1c by 1% in patients with type 1 DM. This information will assist clinicians in decision-making regarding insulin treatment.
RESUMO

Objetivo:

Diabetes mellitus (DM) é um grave problema de saúde pública no Brasil. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a redução da HbA1c em pacientes usuários de insulinas análogas de longa duração no controle glicêmico de pacientes com DM tipo 1 e avaliar custos diretos do tratamento com insulinas análogas.

Métodos:

O estudo é uma coorte retrospectiva e análise de custos para o tratamento de DM tipo 1, com pacientes pertencentes a 2a Regional de Saúde do estado do Paraná. Após randomização dos pacientes, foram coletados dados sociodemográficos, origem da prescrição e seu perfil farmacoterapêutico, além dos desfechos clínicos, como hemoglobina glicada (HbA1c) e glicemia em jejum. Foi realizada uma análise dos custos diretos do tratamento com insulinas análogas, e os valores foram obtidos por meio dos dados de compra dos medicamentos e insumos realizados pelo Centro de Medicamentos Básicos do Paraná (Cemepar).

Resultados:

Foram incluídos 148 pacientes maiores de 18 anos. A variável avaliada foi redução na HbA1c que, entre os pacientes, foi de 0,36 ± 2,75. Os resultados médios dos custos diretos totais do tratamento com DM tipo 1 durante 24 meses foram de R$ 7.224,00, para obter redução em 0,36% dos valores de HbA1c. O custo teórico para a redução em 1% de HbA1c é de R$ 20.064,00.

Conclusões:

Neste estudo foi possível estimar o custo para o sistema público de saúde, da redução de 1% da HbA1c em pacientes com DM tipo 1 usando insulinas análogas. Essa informação serve de subsídios para gestores e clínicos na tomada de decisão do tratamento com insulinas.
