Abstract

Background: Insulin degludec and insulin glargine are basal, long-acting insulin analogs which have a flat and stable action profile. Cost-effectiveness analysis of insulin degludec versus insulin glargine in diabetes management was performed in many countries. Objectives: Systematic review highlighted the crucial findings of cost-effectiveness studies relating to insulin degludec in comparison to insulin glargine in diabetes management. Materials and methods: This review implemented searching and extraction of data on target population, perspectives, model characteristics, methodology of design, costs, the Willingness to pay and Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio from cost-effectiveness analyses of insulin degludec versus insulin glargine in diabetes management published during the period of 2016-2021. Results: Of the 12 identified articles in analyzing cost-effectiveness, there were 7 articles performed on both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, the most common perspective was the national healthcare system, accounting for 58.3%. The majority of studies showed that insulin degludec was cost-effective compared with insulin glargine, with ICER/QALY values widely varying (max ICER: 665.310 USD/QALY). Conclusion: These findings suggested insulin degludec as a cost-effective alternative to insulin glargine in the treatment of diabetes patients without optimal glycemic control.
