A number of European studies have attempted to assess the treatment and care costs of people with HIV infection or AIDS. However, because of the different methods used, the various cost estimates produced are difficult to compare. This paper reviews several European HIV-AIDS costs studies and outlines the differences in methods used and where better approaches to cost estimation could have been adopted. The application of a standardised cost framework to new cost studies would improve the basis for making cost comparisons of models of care in different sites and countries and the identification of actual (rather than methodological) variations in costs across sites. The final part of the paper provides a discussion of the development and application of a standardised framework for assessment of the costs of HIV-AIDS treatment and care in Europe.
一些欧洲研究试图评估艾滋病毒感染者或艾滋病患者的治疗和护理成本。然而，由于所采用的方法不同，得出的各种成本估算难以进行比较。本文回顾了几项欧洲艾滋病毒/艾滋病成本研究，概述了所使用方法的差异以及在哪些方面本可采用更好的成本估算方法。将标准化成本框架应用于新的成本研究，将改善在不同地点和国家对护理模式进行成本比较的基础，并有助于识别各地点成本的实际（而非方法上的）差异。本文的最后一部分讨论了用于评估欧洲艾滋病毒/艾滋病治疗和护理成本的标准化框架的制定和应用。
