Trends in Cardiovascular Diseases and Costs Among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) Patients in Malaysia: A Cohort Study of 240,611 Public Hospital Inpatients.

Background: Identifying trends of hospital admissions and costs for cardiovascular disease events (CVDEs) is crucial for public health intervention and the economic burden for future clinical improvements and better outcomes. This study aims to define the admission trends and cost of CVDE among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in Malaysia between 2014 and 2020.  Methodology: An ecological study was conducted using hospital admission data taken from the Casemix database in public hospitals in Malaysia.

Cost of cardiovascular disease events in patients with and without type 2 diabetes and factors influencing cost: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are non-communicable diseases that impose a significant economic burden on healthcare systems, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hospital treatment cost for cardiovascular disease events (CVDEs) in patients with and without diabetes and identify factors influencing cost.

Method: We conducted a retrospective, cross-sectional study using administrative data from three public tertiary hospitals in Malaysia.

Cross-sectional study of influenza trends and costs in Malaysia between 2016 and 2018.

Background And Objectives: While influenza circulates year-round in Malaysia, research data on its incidence is scarce. Yet, this information is vital to the improvement of public health through evidence-based policies. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to determine the trends and financial costs of influenza.
