Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common complication of diabetes. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is an adjunct treatment that expedites the healing of DFU. To evaluate the cost-utility of using standard wound care (SWC) plus HBOT as compared to SWC alone for the treatment of DFU from a societal perspective in the Indian context. A Markov decision analysis model comparing SWC with and without HBOT was developed. Data for the model were derived from relevant literature and secondary data from India. The main outcome measures were minor and major lower extremity amputations (LEA) averted, incremental quality-adjusted-life-years (QALY) gained, incremental costs, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) per amputation averted and ICER per QALY gained. Sensitivity and threshold analyses were also done. HBOT, when added to SWC, lowered the proportion of minor LEA and major LEA among patients with DFU by 6.1% and 4.2%, respectively. The discounted ICER was INR 193,939 [95% CI: 186,745–203,753] or US$ 2,621 [95% CI: 2,524–2,753] per QALY gained. SWC plus HBOT is not cost-effective in India. Additional information is required on patient experiences with adjunctive HBOT, if it were to be adopted as the standard of care in India.
