The prevalence of heart failure is 3 to 20 per 1,000 population, but may exceed 100 per 1,000 in the over 65 age group. Some 1-2% of the total healthcare budget is consumed in the management of heart failure.
As hospital costs account for approximately 70% of this expenditure we determined the cost of treating heart failure in an Irish teaching hospital.
Cost evaluation was from the hospital perspective using a microcosting detailed collection of resources used.
The average cost of a hospital admission for cardiac failure was IR 2,146 Pounds. The average cost per day was IR 193 Pounds. Approximately 75% of hospital costs were associated with ward costs. Medications accounted for 3.5% of total costs.
The availability of Irish cost data is essential for the assessment of the cost-effectiveness of therapeutic interventions for the treatment of heart failure in our healthcare system.
心力衰竭的患病率为每1000人中有3至20例,但在65岁以上年龄组中可能超过每1000人100例。医疗保健总预算的约1%至2%用于心力衰竭的管理。
由于医院成本约占此项支出的70%,我们确定了爱尔兰一家教学医院治疗心力衰竭的成本。
成本评估是从医院角度出发,采用微观成本核算详细收集所使用的资源。
心力衰竭住院的平均成本为2146爱尔兰镑。每天的平均成本为193爱尔兰镑。大约75%的医院成本与病房成本有关。药物占总成本的3.5%。
爱尔兰成本数据的可用性对于评估我们医疗保健系统中治疗心力衰竭的治疗干预措施的成本效益至关重要。
