Abstract

Toenail onychomycosis (fungal infection) affects nearly 7% of Canadians. Symptoms are progressive and include nail discolouration, disfiguration, and pain. The presence of type I/II diabetes mellitus is associated with both an increased risk of onychomycosis infection and of experiencing complications secondary to onychomycosis. Onychomycosis, with and without diabetes, may impact overall health status and associated utility estimates; however, such estimates are lacking. This study sought to estimate utility values associated with toenail onychomycosis, among adult patients with or without comorbid diabetes, in Canada.
