School of Public Health University of Sydney Quantifying Life expectancy in people with Type 2 diabetes Alison Hayes School of Public Health University of Sydney
The evidence Life expectancy reduced by 8 years at age 40 (Roper et al BMJ 2001:322; 1389-1393 Life expectancy reduced by 5-12 years if diagnosed between 30-49 years; 2-5 years shorter if diagnosed at 50-69 years. Diabetes Natural History Study, Joslin Clinic 1939-1959, up to 25 year follow-up Schneider et al 29 year follow-up study, East Germany average patient age 63 years. Average loss of life expectancy 5.3 years (men) 6.4 years (women)

Aspects of increased risk CVD risk is 2-4 times than of non-diabetic population Copenhagen heart study risk of having MI or stroke increased 2-3 fold, risk of death increased 2-fold (Almdal et al 2004) UK GP database - age adjusted risk of stroke 2.19 (diabetes/no diabetes) Mulnier et al 2006 MONICA project Perth in 1 year survivors of MI, HR death 2.5 (diabetes/no diabetes) (Briffa BMJ 2009) Diabetes associated with increased mortality after acute MI (HR 1.7).

Estimates of LE for Australians with diabetes Large prospective cohort study? Clinical trial data, e.g. ADVANCE, FIELD, UKPDS Registry data, NDR Administrative data e.g WA linked data Modelling
Trials vs administrative data Trial data Adjudicated outcomes (<1000 events) Detailed risk factor data (e.g. HbA1c measure) Selection criteria (generally healthier general population) Most trials do not have information on older patients Administrative data Outcomes identified through hospital admissions (1000s of events observed) Minimal risk factor data (e.g. age sex Whole population Include people of all ages

UKPDS outcomes model Discrete time simulation model Based on patient level data (n=3462) from UKPDS Predicts occurrence of major diabetes related complications and death Based on 20 years of data from 1977-97 Provides life expectancy and health economic outcomes Clarke et al Diabetologia. 2004; 47(10):1747-59
Components of UKPDS outcomes Model Epidemiological module Relate risk-factors to outcomes Non-fatal Outcomes; Diabetes-related deaths; Other deaths (competing risks) Risk factor time paths Predict risk factor values over time HbA1c Systolic Blood pressure Lipids Smoking Health Economic Outcomes Provide economic meaningful outcomes Event based costs Event based Utilities
