Purpose of Review

This paper provides an overview of type 2 diabetes economic simulation modeling and reviews current topics of discussion and major challenges in the field.

Recent Findings

Important challenges in the field include increasing the generalizability of models and improving transparency in model reporting. To identify and address these issues, modeling groups have organized through the Mount Hood Diabetes Challenge meetings and developed tools (i.e., checklist, impact inventory) to standardize modeling methods and reporting of results. Accordingly, many newer diabetes models have begun utilizing these tools, allowing for improved comparability between diabetes models.

Summary

In the last two decades, type 2 diabetes simulation models have improved considerably, due to the collaborative work performed through the Mount Hood Diabetes Challenge meetings. To continue to improve diabetes models, future work must focus on clarifying diabetes progression in racial/ethnic minorities and incorporating equity considerations into health economic analysis.

2型糖尿病的经济模拟模型。

审查目的

本文概述了2型糖尿病经济模拟模型，并回顾了当前的讨论主题和该领域的主要挑战。

最近的发现

该领域的重要挑战包括提高模型的通用性和提高模型报告的透明度。为了识别并解决这些问题，建模小组通过“ Mount Hood Diabetes Challenge”会议组织了各种活动，并开发了工具（即清单，影响清单）以标准化建模方法和结果报告。因此，许多较新的糖尿病模型已经开始利用这些工具，从而改善了糖尿病模型之间的可比性。

概要

在过去的二十年中，由于通过胡德山糖尿病挑战会议进行的协作工作，2型糖尿病模拟模型有了很大的改进。为了继续改善糖尿病模型，未来的工作必须集中于阐明种族/族裔少数群体的糖尿病进展，并将公平考虑因素纳入健康经济分析。
