Trends in diabetes mellitus and related costs among hospital admissions in Switzerland, 2012-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In Switzerland, the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has increased in the general population, but little is known regarding DM-related hospitalizations and their impact on mortality and health costs. Hence, our objectives were to assess (1) the evolution of hospitalizations for DM as first diagnosis and as comorbidity; (2) the association of DM with ICU admission, length of stay (LOS), in-hospital mortality and costs.

Methods

Swiss hospital discharge data for period 2012-2020. Type 1 (T1DM), type 2 (T2DM) and other types (OTDM) of DM were considered.

Results

Between 2012 and 2020, the number of hospitalizations (% total) increased from 4204 (0.27) to 4980 (0.45) for T2DM, 539 (0.05) to 854 (0.08) for T1DM and 221 (0.02) to 381 (0.03) or OTDM. Hospitaliz
