[Direct service costs of diabetes mellitus hospitalisations in the Mexican Institute of Social Security].

CONCLUSIONS: Hospital care for diabetes mellitus represents an important financial challenge for the IMSS. The increase in the frequency of hospitalisations in the productive age group, which affects society as a whole, is an even bigger challenge, and suggests the need to strengthen monitoring of diabetics in order to prevent complications that require hospital care.
