Early Enrollment in Diabetes Pay-for-Performance Program Reduced Loss of Life Expectancy in Newly-Diagnosed Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Backgruound

Diabetes is associated with reduced lifespan. To explore pay-for-performance (P4P) program and life expectancy (LE), we investigated the impact of interval between diabetes diagnosis and enrollment in P4P program on loss-of-LE among patients with diabetes in Taiwan.

Methods

From diabetes mellitus health database, which collected all newly-diagnosed patients with diabetes by calendar year, we selected patients, aged 40 to 64, with 503,662 in P4P group and 450,071 in non-P4P group, respectively, from 2004 to 2015, and followed them until the end of 2018 using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. We simulated age-, gender-, and calendar yearmatched referents for each group through Monte Carlo method from Taiwan's vital statistics. We constructed a restricted cubic spline
