OBJECTIVE
To examine the current-period cost of treating 4 major smoking-related diseases: lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, ischemic heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease.
METHODS
Analyses are based on the MarketScan database, a medical claims database from large employers.
RESULTS
We found that total expenditures to treat ischemic heart disease were highest, followed by those to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). When median expenditures per claim and disease severity were considered, lung cancer was the most expensive condition to treat and ischemic heart disease the least expensive. Median treatment expenditures increased as the severity of disease increased.
CONCLUSION
Treating smoking-related diseases is costly in the current-period and over a lifetime.
目的
研究治疗4种主要吸烟相关疾病（肺癌、慢性阻塞性肺疾病、缺血性心脏病和脑血管疾病）的当期成本。
方法
分析基于MarketScan数据库，这是一个来自大型雇主的医疗理赔数据库。
结果
我们发现，治疗缺血性心脏病的总支出最高，其次是治疗慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）的支出。考虑到每项理赔的中位数支出和疾病严重程度，肺癌是治疗成本最高的疾病，而缺血性心脏病是治疗成本最低的疾病。治疗的中位数支出随着疾病严重程度的增加而增加。
结论
治疗吸烟相关疾病在当期和一生中都成本高昂。
