Abstract: (11334 Views)
Background: Since by considering increases worldwide prevalence of diabetes mellitus, and its management in the short and long–term requires significant expenditure on the part of patients and healthcare providers alike, and on the other hand existing resources fall short of the country's needs in this domain, diabetes has become one of the major health priorities in our country, as it has across the globe. Assessment of injuries due to diabetes mellitus and complications are divided to two sections: 1– economic cost of diabetes mellitus and 2 – burden of diabetes mellitus. In this study we assessed burden of diabetes mellitus and complications in Iran in year 2000.
Methods: We used ten years ago studies about prevalence of diabetes and complications in Iran, associated DALYs index by helping computer model (DisMod) for assessment of burden of diabetes and complications in Iran in year 2000.
Results: Burden of diabetes in Iran was 306440 years in year 2000. Burden of diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, diabetic foot and lower limb amputation were 20532, 20532, 33286, 5848 and 1573 years, respectively.
Conclusion: Pay attention to this study, we will need to reduce diabetes's burden by setting serious programs about prevention and treatment of diabetes mellitus and complications. Thus, we suggest, other studies are planning for assessment of burden of other diseases. Then after comparing burden of diabetes to other diseases, government politicians are performance priorities setting for using of our country resource.
