Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, Tip 2 Diyabet hastalarının hastalığa bağlı ve ilişkili cepten ödeme maliyetlerini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı tipte olan bu çalışma aynı zamanda maliyet araştırması niteliği taşımaktadır. Çalışmamıza
Endokrinoloji ve Metabolizma Hastalıkları Bilim Dalı polikliniğine başvuran 40 aşikâr hipotiroidi, 40 subklinik hipotiroidi tanısı almış
hastalarla 30 sağlıklı birey karşılaştırıldı. Gruplar demografik bulgular, serum lipid ve tiroid hormon panelleri, serum K-YABP ve
KIMK ölçümleri açısından karşılaştırıldı. Ayrıca aşikâr hipotiroidi nedeniyle 6 aylık levotiroksin replasman tedavisi alan hastaların
tedavi öncesi ve sonrası serum K-YABP ve KIMK ölçümleri karşılaştırıldı. Çalışmanın örneklemini bir üniversite hastanesine başvuran
Tip 2 Diyabet tanılı hastalar oluşturmaktadır. Hesaplanan örneklem sayısı doğrultusunda çalışma, 180 katılımcı ile yüz yüze yapılan
görüşmeler ile gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Bulgular: Cepten ödeme maliyetleri açısından servis ve poliklinik olmak üzere her iki hasta grubu içinde ayrı ayrı ortalama maliyet
rakamları, servis hastalarında 350,59 TL iken; poliklinik hastalarında 1046,26 TL olduğu görülmektedir. Her iki hasta grubu içinde
yapılan toplam cepten ödeme maliyeti 111,309,442 TL olarak hesaplanmıştır.

Sonuç: Hastalar açısından maliyetin büyük kısmını Diyabetik Ayak gibi komplikasyon sonucu gelişen hastalıkların sebep olduğu ve
kullanılması gereken özel ayakkabı ve çorap gibi eşyaların oluşturduğu görülmektedir.
