ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most serious and frequent hereditary autosomal disease that causes respiratory, hepatic and pancreatic dysfunction. The aim of the study was to assess the pharmaceutical and medical cost in CF outpatients from the Adult Cystic Fibrosis Unit at third level hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective observational study in adult CF patients throughout the year 2017. Demographic and clinical variables were included. All of the medical variables considered were directly related to the disease. Considered cost were laboratory selling price notified in Nomenclator. Medical costs were calculated based on laboratory's price list and hospital medical procedures. RESULTS: 89 CF patients enter the study, and 57 patients were finally included. The mean age was 32.5 years, 56.1% were female. 36.5% patients were homozygous for Phe508del, 40.4% heterozygous, and 22.8% had another mutation. The average FEV1 was 72.2%. 33.3% patients were colonized by sensitive Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) and 7.0% by multidrug-resistant PA. Total costs per year was EUR 623,981.3, (87.6% drug costs and 12.4% medical costs). Medical, drug and total costs were higher in Phe508del/Phe508del mutation group than Phe508del/other and other/other (p < 0.05). Microbial colonization increased costs (p < 0.05); colonized by sensitive PA had statistically significant higher drug and total costs, similar in multidrug resistant PA. Medical costs increase with severity level of lung function (p = 0.001), also drug and total costs with the exception of severe patients. CF is a relative costly disease for the healthcare system. In our study homozygous Phe508del mutation patients, lows values of FEV1 and colonization had higher cost


INTRODUCCIÓN: La fibrosis quística (FQ) es la enfermedad autosómica hereditaria más grave y frecuente que cursa con disfunción respiratoria, hepática y pancreática. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar el coste farmacéutico y médico directo en pacientes ambulatorios de FQ de la Unidad de Fibrosis Quística de Adultos en un hospital de tercer nivel. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Estudio observacional, retrospectivo, en pacientes adultos con FQ a lo largo del año 2017. Se recogieron variables demográficas y clínicas. Todas las variables médicas consideradas estaban directamente relacionadas con la enfermedad. Los costes considerados fueron los precios de venta de laboratorio notificado en Nomenclator. Los costes médicos se calcularon en base a la lista de precios del laboratorio y los procedimientos médicos hospitalarios. RESULTADOS: Se realizó el screening en 89 pacientes con FQ, y finalmente se incluyeron 57 pacientes. La edad media fue de 32,5 años, el 56,1% eran mujeres. El 36,5% de los pacientes eran homocigotos para Phe508del, el 40,4% heterocigoto y el 22,8% tenían otra mutación. El FEV1 medio fue de 72,2%. El 33,3% de los pacientes estaban colonizados por Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) sensibles y 7,0% por PA multirresistentes. Los costes totales anuales fueron de 623.981,3 euros (87,6% de costes de medicamentos y 12,4% de gastos médicos directos). Los costes médicos, farmacéuticos y totales fueron mayores en el grupo de mutación Phe508del/Phe508del, que en Phe508del/otro y otros (p < 0.05). La colonización microbiana aumentó los costes (p < 0,05); la colonización por PA sensibles supuso costes más altos de fármacos y totales, de manera similar para PA multirresistentes, todas las diferencias estadísticamente significativas. Los costes médicos aumentaron con el nivel de gravedad de la función pulmonar (p < 0,001), también los costes de medicamentos y totales, con la excepción de los pacientes más graves. CONCLUSIÓN: La CF es una enfermedad relativamente costosa para el sistema de salud. En nuestro estudio, los pacientes con mutación homocigota Phe508del, los valores bajos de FEV1 y la colonización tuvieron un costo más alto

ABSTRACT

Mesenteric Panniculitis is an inflammatory process, not tumoral, of the adipose tissue of the mesentery. There are documented several ways of clinical presentation, from asymptomatic until abdominal pain, affectation of general condition and loose weight. Exceptionally it is declared like only fever. Several treatments have been used, including colchicine, dapsone or corticosteroids associated or not with inmunosupresants, but there are no prospective controlled studies to define appropriate treatment; moreover, there are cases of regresion without specific therapy. Below we present the case of a patient affected for mesenteric panniculitis which the one clinical manifestation is fever predominance evening. The treatment with oral corticosteroids, for 2 years, resulted in the disappearance of the clinica.

ABSTRACT

neoplásico, que afecta al tejido adiposo del mesenterio fundamentalmente. Están descritas varias formas de presentación clínica, desde asintomática hasta dolor abdominal, afectación del estado general y pérdida de peso. Es excepcional que debute como fiebre aislada. En el tratamiento se ha empleado colchicina, dapsona o corticoides asociados o no a inmunosupresores, pero no hay estudios controlados prospectivos que definan el tratamiento adecuado. Además hay casos de regresión sin terapéutica específica. A continuación presentamos el caso de un paciente afecto de paniculitis mesentérica con fiebre de predominio vespertino como única manifestación clínica. El tratamiento médico con corticoides orales, durante 2 años, consiguió la remisión clínica de la enfermedad
