RESUMO

Objetivo:

Avaliar o consumo de recursos relacionado ao tratamento de pacientes cirróticos com o vírus da Hepatite C (HCV) genótipo 1 (G1) e compará-lo ao de pacientes com cirrose não relacionada ao HCV no SUS.

Métodos:

Foram levantadas no banco de dados do DataSUS as hospitalizações por CID de cirrose entre 2008 e 2012. Dentre estas hospitalizações, foram levantados os pacientes com histórico de tratamento com interferon peguilado, no mesmo período, para identificar pacientescom HCV G1 prévia, como definido pelo Protocolo Clínico e Diretrizes Terapêuticas (PCDT) do SUS. As coortes de pacientes com ou sem HCV prévio (CH+HCV e CH-HCV) foram acompanhadas por 60 meses e comparadas em termos de uso de recursos. Para a avaliação econômica, custos unitários de medicamentos foram analisados a partir do Portal de Compras Governamentais e, para valoração de hospitalizações, a partir do DataSUS.

Resultados:

Gastos com hospitalização de pacientes cirróticossomaram aproximadamente R$ 108 milhões em 2012, podendo ser observado um aumento de 75% no gasto comparado a 2008. A maioria dos pacientes internados por CH com ou sem HCV estava entre as idades de 45 e 64 anos, sendo a média de idade de 52 anos, e grande parte do gênero masculino. Os gastos médios com hospitalizações por paciente foram de R$ 6.583,00 nos pacientes do grupo CH+HCV versus R$ 3.496,00 nos pacientes do grupo CH-HCV (p < 0,001). Aproximadamente 5% dos pacientes CH-HCV receberam transplante hepático comparado com 7% dospacientes CH+HCV. O custo relacionado ao transplante na população CH+HCV representou 78% do custo total contra 67% dos pacientes CH-HCV, sendo o custo médio atribuído a transplantes nos pacientes CH+HCV 17% superior à população sem HCV.

Conclusão:

Os custos hospitalares entre os pacientes cirróticos relacionados ou não ao HCV apresentaram uma distribuição diferente entre si e significativa para a perspectiva do SUS.
ABSTRACT

Objective:

Evaluate resource consumption related to the treatment of cirrhotic patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 (G1) and compare to patients with cirrhosis not related to HCV in the Brazilian public healthcare system (SUS).

Methods:

Hospitalizations for the diagnosis of cirrhosis were obtained from DatasSUS between 2008 and 2012. Among these hospitalizations, patients with a history of treatment with pegylated interferon in the same period were evaluated, to identify patients with previous HCV G1, as defined by the Clinical Protocol and Therapeutic Guideline (PCDT)from SUS. The cohorts of patients with or without previous HCV (CH+HCV and CH-HCV) were followed for 60 months and compared in terms of resource use. For the economic evaluation, unit costs of medications were analyzed based on the Government Procurement Portal and costs of hospitalization from DataSUS.

Results:

Hospitalization expenditures of cirrhotic patients totaled approximately R$108 million in 2012, with an increase of 75% in spending compared to 2008. Most patients admitted for CH with or without HCV were between the ages of 45 and 64 years, with a mean age of 52 years and were mostly male. Approximately 5% of patients CH-HCV received liver transplantation compared to 7% of patients CH+HCV. Costs related to transplantation in the CH+HCV populationaccounted for 78% of the total cost compared to 67% among CH-HCV patients, being the average transplantation cost 17% higher in patients CH+HCV when compared to the population without HCV.

Conclusion:

Hospitalization costs among cirrhotic patients with or without prior treatment of HCV showed a different distribution and differences were significant for the SUS perspective.
