Objectives Diabetes is closely associated with risk of stroke and its adverse sequelae. Approximately 20%–33% of patients with stroke have diabetes. In China, however, it is unclear how stroke affects healthcare utilisation, medications and complications among people with diabetes. This study aimed to analyse the clinical characteristics, treatment options, medical expenses and complications of hospital outpatient healthcare associated with stroke in patients with diabetes in China.Design A retrospective, multicentre, observational study.Setting Beijing Municipal Medical Insurance Database, with data from 2016 to 2018.Participants The study included patients with diabetes whose data included 2016–2018 outpatient medication records and who had Beijing medical insurance. Patients who did not have continuous prescription records for more than 2 months were excluded from the analysis. In total, 2 853 036 people with diabetes were included, and patients who had and did not have a stroke were compared.Results In our study, 19.75%–22.30% of patients with diabetes suffered from stroke between 2016 and 2018. The average annual medical cost for a patient diagnosed with diabetes is ¥9606.65, and the cost increases to ¥13 428.39 when diabetes was combined with stroke; thus, stroke increases the medical cost for patients with diabetes by 39.78% (p |
