Abstract
Objectives: To elicit utilities associated with type 2 diabetes medication-related attributes from South Korean and Taiwanese populations and to identify key drivers of preferences.
Methods: Data from 59 respondents from the general population in South Korea and Taiwan were analyzed. Respondents' preferences were elicited using a paper-based standard gamble questionnaire. Health states were designed to identify the utility or disutility of type 2 diabetes medication-related attributes, including dose frequency, nausea/vomiting (hereafter referred to as nausea), and weight change.
Results: The mean utility for the basic health state (encompassing current body weight and no nausea) was 0.754 ± 0.155 with weekly dose administration. Respondents showed a preference for weekly over daily administration (average increase in utility of 0.043 across all health states with weekly, vs. daily, administration). Nausea was associated with a decrease in utility (average decrease of -0.034 across all health states with, vs. without, nausea). Weight gain had little effect on utility (average decrease of 0.000 and 0.001 across all health states with, vs. without, 3% and 5% gain, respectively), although weight loss was associated with a small increase in utility (average increase of 0.028 and 0.029 across all health states with, vs. without, 3% and 5% loss, respectively).
Conclusions: Utilities associated with type 2 diabetes medication-related attributes were elicited from a general population sample from South Korea and Taiwan. Treatment-related attributes, in particular dose frequency and nausea, had a measurable effect on utility and should be considered when selecting treatment regimens for South Korean or Taiwanese patients with type 2 diabetes.
