OBJECTIVES: Disease burden of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is escalating. Quite a few studies have evaluated the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of overall T2DM patients, but few focused on that of inpatients with specific diabetes-related complications. Reliable estimates of the impact of complications on HRQOL are important to understand the event burden and serve for economic evaluation. This study aims to estimate the utility-based HRQOL of inpatients with diabetes-related complications in China, and explore the influencing factors. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study conducted in a tertiary hospital in Shandong, China. T2DM patients (≥18 years) hospitalized during January, April and May 2017 for their complications, including ischemic heart disease (IHD), myocardial infarction (MI), congestive heart failure (CHF), stroke, impaired vision (IV), end-stage renal disease (ESRD), ulcer or amputation were recruited. The EuroQOL 5-dimensions 3-level(EQ-5D-3L) instrument was administered to these inpatients through face-to-face interviews. Clinical and sociodemographic data were collected from the survey. One-way analysis of variance and multiple linear regression analysis were performed. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: HRQOL of T2DM inpatients was largely impaired. Our estimates demonstrate the magnitude of the impact of eight complications on utility-based measures of HRQOL, which may be used for public health and cost-effectiveness modeling.
