Postpartum Screening for Type 2 Diabetes in Women With a History of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis in Singapore
Objectives: In Singapore, diabetes imposes a huge population health and economic burden. Despite that, there is paucity of evidence on the health economics of screening programs for type 2 diabetes, especially in the context of screening after gestational diabetes (GDM). The objective of this study is to assess cost-effectiveness of universal lifelong screening for type 2 diabetes after GDM, which is supported by current guidelines, compared with elective screening where 54% of mothers with GDM undertake one-off screening. Despite the recommendation for universal lifelong screening, only 54% comply with this in the first postpartum year.
Methods: We perform a cost-effectiveness analysis comparing 5 screening strategies, accounting for lifetime costs to the healthcare system and quality of life for Singapore women diagnosed with GDM. In particular, a hybrid decision model, based on a decision tree and Markov models, is implemented to estimate cost and q uality-adjusted life-years (QALY). Probabilities, costs, and utilities are obtained from existing literature, governmental databases, the Growing Up in Singapore Towards Healthy Outcomes birth cohort study, and the National University Hospital.
Results: Compared with elective screening, universal annual screening reduces cost by SG$19.4 million while adding 3.8 thousand QALYs by each annual cohort of pregnant women. Furthermore, annual screening is cost-effective (lower cost and higher QALY) compared with triennial screening. Sensitivity analysis shows that the findings are robust to parameter specifications. Conclusions: Universal annual screening of women with a history of GDM is cost-effective for reducing diabetes complications compared with strategies with less frequent screening in Singapore. © 2024 International Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research
