Abstract
Objectives: To assess the cost-effectiveness of insulin degludec (degludec) versus insulin glargine (glargine) U100 from a Portuguese healthcare perspective using data from SWITCH 1 & 2 trials. - - - Methods: A short-term model estimated cost-effectiveness of degludec versus glargine U100 in type 1 diabetes (T1DM) basal bolus (B/B) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) basal oral therapy (BOT) patients. The model captured hypoglycaemia rates and insulin dosing. Clinical outcomes were obtained from SWITCH 1 & 2. Disutilities related to hypoglycaemic events and insulin, needles and blood glucose tests costs were also included. Benefits were measured in QALYs. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted (...)
