To examine trends in resource use and the impact of incident diabetic macular edema (DME) on 1-year and 3-year total direct medical costs in elderly patients. We used a nationally representative 5% sample of Medicare beneficiaries from 2000 through 2004 to identify patients with incident DME and a control cohort of patients with diabetes mellitus but no history of retinal disease. We summed Medicare reimbursement amounts for all claims and applied generalized linear models to estimate effects of DME on 1-year and 3-year costs. We also examined use of selected imaging techniques and treatments. After adjustment for demographic characteristics and baseline comorbid conditions, DME was associated with 31% higher 1-year costs and 29% higher 3-year costs. There were significant shifts in the use of testing and treatment modalities. From 2000 to 2004, intravitreal injection increased from 1% to 13% of patients; use of optical coherence tomography increased from 2.5% to more than 40%. Use of laser photocoagulation decreased over time. After adjustment for demographic variables and baseline comorbid conditions, new-onset DME was a significant independent predictor of total medical costs at 1 and 3 years. Diagnostic and treatment modalities used for DME have changed significantly.
