THE EFFECT OF MEDICATION ON HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS IN PRIMARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES: THE CASE OF TYPE 2 DIABETES

Öz

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the incidence of type 2 diabetes globally with the increase in obesity, adoption of sedentary lifestyle and aging in societies. Especially at the level of primary healthcare services, ways are sought to overcome negative health outcomes by reducing hospital admissions due to type 2 diabetes. One of these is the use of medication. In this study, the effect of medication use on hospital admissions in the treatment of type 2 diabetes in primary healthcare services was examined. The population of the study consisted of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. Antihypertensive and cholesterol-lowering drug use were included in the analysis as independent variables and hospital admissions due to type 2 diabetes were included as dependent variables. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the use of both drugs had a statistically significant and negative effect on hospital admissions due to type 2 diabetes in primary care. In this regard appropriately managed type 2 diabetes may reduce the need for hospital admissions, leading to positive health outcomes and cost savings at both micro and macro levels.

1. BASAMAK SAĞLIK HİZMETLERİNDE İLAÇ KULLANIMININ HASTANE BAŞVURULARINA ETKİSİ: TİP 2 DİYABET ÖRNEĞİ

Öz

Son yıllarda toplumlarda obezite, hareketsiz yaşam tarzı benimsenmesi ve yaşlanmanın artmasıyla birlikte küresel olarak tip 2 diyabet görülme sıklığında önemli artış yaşanmıştır. Özellikle 1. basamak sağlık hizmetleri düzeyinde tip 2 diyabet nedeniyle hastaneye başvuruların azaltılarak olumsuz sağlık sonuçlarının üstesinden gelmenin yolları aranmaktadır. Bunlardan biri de ilaç kullanımıdır. Bu çalışmada, 1. basamak sağlık hizmetlerinde tip 2 diyabet tedavisinde ilaç kullanımının hastane başvurularına etkisi incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini Ekonomik İşbirliği ve Gelişme Teşkilatı (OECD) ülkeleri oluşturmuştur. Antihipetansif ve kolesterol düşürücü ilaç kullanımı bağımsız değişkenler ve tip 2 diyabet nedeniyle hastaneye başvurular bağımlı değişken olarak analize dahil edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda, her iki ilaç kullanımının da 1. basamakta tip 2 diyabet nedeniyle hastaneye başvuruları istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve negatif yönde etkilediği bulunmuştur. Bu bakımdan, uygun şekilde yönetilen tip 2 diyabetin, hastaneye başvuru ihtiyacını azaltarak hem mikro hem de makro düzeyde olumlu sağlık sonuçları ve maliyet tasarrufu sağlayabilecektir.
