With the growing interest in reducing the environmental impact of human activities, the need to consider how to include environmental outcomes into HTAs has increased. We present a simple method of doing so.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> We adapted an existing clinical-economic model to include environmental outcomes (carbon dioxide [CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>] emissions) to predict the consequences of adding insulin to an oral antidiabetic (OAD) regimen for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) over 30 years, from the United Kingdom payer perspective. Epidemiological, efficacy, healthcare costs, utility, and carbon emissions data were derived from published literature. A scenario analysis was performed to explore the impact of parameter uncertainty.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> The addition of insulin to an OAD regimen increases costs by 2,668 British pounds per patient and is associated with 0.36 additional quality-adjusted life-years per patient. The insulin-OAD combination regimen generates more treatment and disease management-related CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> emissions per patient (1,686 kg) than the OAD-only regimen (310 kg), but generates fewer emissions associated with treating complications (3,019 kg versus 3,337 kg). Overall, adding insulin to OAD therapy generates an extra 1,057 kg of CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> emissions per patient over 30 years.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> The model offers a simple approach for incorporating environmental outcomes into health economic analyses, to support a decision-maker's objective of reducing the environmental impact of health care. Further work is required to improve the accuracy of the approach; in particular, the generation of resource-specific environmental impacts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0266462316000581","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,9]],"date-time":"2017-01-09T02:52:00Z","timestamp":1483930320000},"page":"400-406","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["INCORPORATING ENVIRONMENTAL OUTCOMES INTO A HEALTH ECONOMIC MODEL"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Kevin","family":"Marsh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Ganz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emil","family":"N\u00f8rtoft","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Niels","family":"Lund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joshua","family":"Graff-Zivin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0266462316000581_ref017","volume-title":"Type 2 diabetes: The management of Type 2 diabetes.
