In adults awaiting elective non-cardiac surgery, a multidisciplinary pre-operative diabetes service represents a cost-effective strategy compared with usual care from a healthcare institution perspective.

- Multidisciplinary pre-operative diabetes service vs usual care
- Outcome
- Cost-effectiveness: healthcare costs and 30-day post-operative infection-related readmissions
Methodological detailshealthcare institution perspective, simulated usual care arm, univariate and probabilistic sensitivity analyses

- Readmissions avoided per 100 patients treated
- 7
- Probability intervention remains dominant (lower costs, fewer infection-related readmissions)
- 89.5%
