Health Care Expenditure in United States Adults With Heart Failure With and Without Diabetes.

ABSTRACT: The health costs for heart failure (HF) in patients with and without diabetes can help us understand the conjoint burden of diabetes and HF. Using the 2008 to 2019 US national Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data including 2,019 adults with HF and a 2-part adjusted model, we estimated the mean and adjusted incremental direct medical expenditures related to diabetes. The total direct expenditures for patients with HF increased by 27 %: $24,725 (95 % confidence interval [CI] $20,457 to $28,993) in 2008 to 2009 to $31,426 (95 % CI $25,705 to $37,147) in 2018 to 2019. The expenditures increased by 34 % in those with diabetes. Inpatient costs represented the highest fraction of costs ∼43.3 % and were 8 % higher in those with diabetes versus those without diabetes. The drug costs accounted for
