​​Abstracts - Mt Hood 2026​

​

We received a record response to our call for abstracts this year, and are pleased to announce that 25 abstracts have been accepted for presentation at Mt Hood 2026 in Padua, 3–4 October 2026, including 7 late-breaking abstracts.

​

The accepted abstracts reflect the breadth of current work in diabetes health economics and simulation modelling. Presentations span four thematic areas: Diabetes & Its Complications, covering new approaches to modelling treatment effects, secular trends, and long-term complications including chronic kidney disease; Applied Health Economics, including cost-effectiveness analyses drawing on large national datasets from Taiwan, Germany, and Australia; Cost-Effectiveness and Diabetes, featuring methodological contributions on model averaging, uncertainty, and treatment valuation; and Quantitative Methods and Theoretical Developments, addressing multimorbidity modelling, adherence, and methods for estimating incidence and mortality rates.

 

A highlight of this year's programme is an invited organised session on Synthetic Data for Diabetes Simulation, presenting work from the REDDIE project on applications in trial replication, registry data, and risk equation development — directly connected to one of the 2026 conference challenges.

 

Due to the record number of submissions, most parallel sessions will include four presentations. All presenters are asked to aim for no more than 10 slides, with a talk of approximately 12–15 minutes followed by questions.

 

Abstract publication: If you have an accepted abstract and would like it to appear in the published conference programme, please send the final version to mthood2016@gmail.com by Monday 23 November 2026, with ABSTRACT FOR PUBLICATION in the subject line.
