Unraveling the future productivity burden of cardiovascular disease in Qatar: Investigating the modifiable risk factors control in type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Insufficient risk factor control can lead to a loss of millions of productivity-adjusted life years (PALYs). We aimed to assess the productivity burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and examine the potential advantages of enhancing the control of modifiable CVD risk factors in Qatar.

Materials and methods

Models were developed to quantify the productivity burden, in terms of PALYs, of CVD in Qataris with T2D, aged 40-65 years, from 2024 to 2033. The financial value of PALYs was determined based on the gross domestic product (GDP) per full-time worker (i.e. US$80,573). The base-case model estimated the productivity burden of CVD, and interventional scenarios were simulated to assess potential gains resulting from improved control of modifiable
