ABSTRACT
Objetivo: Conocer los costos directos (CD) e indirectos (CI) de la atención de pacientes con lesiones por accidentes de tránsito (AT) en el mundo. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión sistemática en PubMed, Embase, Centre for Reviews and Dissemination, Journal Storage y Scielo de estudios de costos de atención de víctimas de AT mayores de 16 años, entre 2008 y 2013. La calidad de los estudios se evaluó con criterios extraídos de Drummond y col, y del " Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards statement (CHEERS)" y otros definidos por los autores. Se evaluaron los CD, los CI. La carga de la enfermedad (CE), se hizo con los Años de Vida Ajustados por Discapacidad (AVAD), y Años de Vida ajustados por Calidad (AVAC). Se analizaron los costos generados por discapacidad/rehabilitación y Trauma craneoencefálico (TEC). Los costos monetarios en dólares americanos (USD) de 2010 ajustados por inflación. Resultados: Se analizaron 14 estudios, seis de buena calidad. Se encontraron estudios con 567.000 pacientes y 10 años de duración, costos directos de 48.082 e indirectos de 29.706 USD por paciente; los costos indirectos superaron los directos. La carga de la enfermedad mostró amplia variabilidad; en un estudio el 60% de los pacientes con TEC grave y 20% moderado quedaron con discapacidad corto plazo y en otro el 4,6% quedó con discapacidad a largo plazo. Conclusiones: Existe gran heterogeneidad en los estudios, no hay consenso para evaluar la calidad de estos estudios. Los costos indirectos de accidentes de tránsito superan los directos. Los costos derivados de discapacidad y rehabilitación son poco evaluados.
Objective: to know the direct (DC) and indirect costs (IC) generated by the treatment of patients with moderate or severe injuries caused by traffic accidents (TA) in the world. Methodology: a systematic review of studies assessing the costs of treating victims of traffic accidents older than 16 between 2008 and 2013 was conducted using the PubMed, Embase, Centre for Reviews and Dissemination, Journal Storage and Scielo databases. The quality of the studies was assessed using criteria from Drummond and col, as well as the "Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards statement (CHEERS)" and other mechanisms defined by the authors. DCs and ICs were assessed. The burden of disease (BD) was obtained with the disability-adjusted life year (DALY), and the quality-adjusted life-year (QALY). The costs generated by disability /rehabilitation and traumatic brain injury (TBI) were analyzed. The monetary costs were expressed in 2010 US dollars (USD) adjusted for inflation. Results: 14 studies were analyzed, 6 of which had a good quality. We found studies with up to 567.000 patients and a duration of 10 years. Direct costs were up to USD 48.082 and indirect costs up to USD 29.706 per patient; the direct costs were exceeded by the indirect costs. The burden of disease showed high variability. In one study, 60% of the patients with severe TBI and 20% with moderate TBI had short term disability; in another study 4.6% of the patients sustained long-term disability. Conclusions: there is great heterogeneity in the cost studies. There is no consensus for assessing the quality of these studies. The indirect costs incurred in traffic accidents are greater than direct costs. The costs of disability and rehabilitation are poorly assessed.
Objetivo: conhecer os custos diretos (cd) e indiretos (ci) do atendimento de pacientes com ferimentos por acidentes de trânsito (at) no mundo. Metodologia: realizou-se uma revisão sistemática em PubMed, Embase, Centre for Reviews and Dissemination, Journal Storage e Storage de estudos de custos de atendimento de cítimas de at com mais de 16 anos, entre 2 e 2013. A qualidade dos estudos foi avaliada com critérios extraídos de Drummond y col e do "Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards statement (cheers)" e com outros definidos pelos autores. Avaliaram-se os DC, os CI. A carga da doença (cd) realizou-se com os Anos de Vida Ajustados por Deficiência (avad), e com Anos de Vida ajustados por Qualidade (avaq). Analisaram-se os custos gerados por Deficiência/reabilitação e Traumatismos cranioencefálicos (tce). Os custos monetários em dólares americanos (usd) de 2010 ajustados por inflação. Resultados : analisaram-se 14 estudos, seis de boa qualidade. Encontraram-se estudos com 567.000 pacientes e 10 anos de duração, custos diretos de 48.082 e indiretos de 29.706 usd por paciente. Os custos indiretos foram superiores aos diretos. A carga da doença mostrou gandre variabilidade. Em um estudo, 60% dos pacientes com tce sério e 20% moderado ficaram com deficiência de curto prazo e em outro, 4,6% ficou com Deficiência de longo prazo. Conclusão: existe grande heterogeneidade nos estudos, não há consenso para avaliar a qualidade destes estudos. Os custos indiretos de acidentes de trânsito são superiores os indiretos. Os custos derivados de Deficiência e de reabilitação são pouco avaliados.
ABSTRACT
Costs with dementia have been the focus of research around the world and indirect costs to the caregiver appear in the literature as responsible for the greatest impact. In Latin American (LA) studies, indirect costs with dementia range from 60% to 75% of family income. Objective: To present preliminary results of the study ?Description of the methods and cost analysis with dementia? currently being conducted at the Behavioral and Cognitive Neurology Unit of Hospital de Clínicas of University of São Paulo ? HC-FMUSP. Methods: A cross-sectional study which, to date, includes interviews of 93 primary caregivers. The research protocol includes a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Functional Assessment Staging (FAST) scale, the Burden Interview (Zarit), an economic classification scale, and the Resource Utilization in Dementia (RUD) scale. Results: Monthly indirect costs were US$ 1,122.40, US$ 1,508.90 and US$ 1,644.70 stratified into mild, moderateand severe dementia, respectively. The projected annual indirect costs were US$ 13,468.80, US$ 18,106.80 and US$ 19,736.40, representing 69 to 169% of family income. Conclusion: This small sample showed that the impact of indirect costs with dementia in Brazil may be higher than that reported in other Latin American (LA) studies. These initial results may represent an important contribution for further research on costs with dementia in LA.
Custos com demência tem sido objeto de pesquisa em todo o mundo e os custos indiretos dos cuidadores aparecem na literatura como responsáveis por maior impacto. Objetivo: Apresentar resultados preliminares do estudo?Descrição dos métodos e análise dos custos com demência, que está sendo conduzido no ambulatório de Neurologia Cognitiva e do Comportamento do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo ? HCFMUSP. Métodos: Estudo de corte transversal que até o momento entrevistou 93 cuidadores primários. O protocolo de pesquisa inclui um questionário sociodemográfico, a escala de avaliação funcional (FAST), a escala de sobrecarga dos cuidadores (Zarit), uma escala de classificação econômica e a escala de utilização de recursos na demência (RUD).Resultados: Custos indiretos mensais variaram de US$ 1.122,40 a US$ 1.508,90 e US$ 1.644,70 estratificados pela gravidade da demência em leve, moderada e grave. Projeções anuais dos custos indiretos variaram de US$ 13.468,80 a US$ 18.106,80 e US$ 19.736,40 o que representou de 69% a 169% da renda familiar. Conclusão: Nossa pequena amostra mostrou que o impacto dos custos indiretos com demência no Brasil pode ser maior do que o encontrado em outros estudos latino americanos prévios. Esperamos que nossos resultados iniciais possam ser importantes para futurespesquisas sobre custos com demência na América Latina.

The purpose of this study was to estimate treatment cost for typhoid fever at two hospitals in Kolkata, India. This study was an incidence-based cost-of-illness analysis from the providers’ perspective. Microcosting approach was employed for calculating patient-specific data. Unit costs of medical services used in the calculation were directly measured from the study hospital by standard method. The study hospitals were selected based on accessibility to data and cooperation. Eighty-three Widal-positive and/or cultureconfirmed patients with typhoid fever during November 2003–April 2006 were included in the study. Most (93%) patients were children. Eighty-one percent was treated at the outpatient department. The average duration of hospitalization for child and adult patients was 8.4 and 4.2 days respectively. The average cost of treating children, adults, and all patients was US$ 16.72, 72.71, and 20.77 respectively (in 2004 prices). Recalculation based on 80% occupancy rate in inpatient wards (following the recommendation of the World Health Organization) found that the cost of treating children, adults, and all patients was US$ 14.53, 36.44, and 16.11 respectively.
