One-to-five propensity score matching method was applied to match 401 eligible surgical patients with 1,894 non-surgical patients. Frequency of healthcare service utilization and dispense of diabetes medication were collected for both groups to estimate the direct medical costs from baseline to up to 60 months; Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and number of comorbidities were measured to compare the changes of comorbidities between two groups over the 5 years. Results: Direct medical costs were US$40,889 for surgical patients and US$6,163 for controls in the index year (p |
