The economic burden, patients' well-being, and social determinants related to diabetes in South Africa by Hellebo, Assegid

“…The specific objectives are: firstly, to use population life table modelling to estimate the impact of type 2 diabetes (T2D) on the South African population, particularly in terms of productivity-adjusted life of years (PALYs) metric; secondly, to review and synthesise information regarding the costs and cost-effectiveness of managing T2D in SSA to enhance awareness, optimise resource allocation, and support evidence-based decision-making; thirdly, to investigate the role of social determinants of health (SDoH) in diabetes self-care management practices, emphasising the importance of maintaining optimal glycemic control; and lastly, to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and associated factors among people with diabetes in South Africa; lastly, to develop locally relevant utility score valuations for more accurate economic evaluations and healthcare decision-making in South Africa. …”
