Pharmacoeconomic aspects of drug provision for diabetic patients in the Novosibirsk Region

Aim – to assess pharmacological and economic aspects of drug provision for patients with diabetes mellitus in the Novosibirsk region at federal and regional levels for the period of 2019–2021. Material and methods. An array of data on drug provision for diabetic patients in the Novosibirsk region for the period of 2019–2021 was collected and subjected to analysis. The research process used a systematic approach with the following methods: logical analysis, content analysis, ABC analysis, XYZ analysis. Results. For the period of 2019–2021, the burden on the regional drug provision system for diabetic patients had been steadily increasing. At the same time, the share of costs for drug provision for diabetic patients at the federal level continued to grow, despite the reducing number of covered prescriptions. Potentially, it could be explained by the constant increase in the average cost of a prescription. The ABC/XYZ inventory analysis of the consumed drugs and medical devices showed an increasing need for additional (non-hypoglycemic) medicines for the treatment of complications and concomitant diseases in diabetic patients. A greater increase in prescriptions of additional medicines and their funding was observed at the regional level in the period of 2019–2021.
