To estimate the economic burden associated with dermatitis in those aged 16 to 65 years and working in seven industry sectors (DW).
The 2004 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey and the cost-of-illness method, which aggregates health care costs and productivity losses, were used.
The economic burden of DW was ~$1.2 billion, representing 10.5% of the cost of all skin diseases and disorders (SDD). In all private industry (ie, the sum of the seven sectors examined), cost per employed person was ~$11 for DW and $109 for SDD. In the all-services sector, one of the seven examined, cost per employed person was ~$15 for DW and $113 for SDD.
This study provides the first published estimate of the economic burden of DW, based on a representative sample of the US population.
估计在七个行业（DW）工作的 16 至 65 岁人群中与皮炎相关的经济负担。
使用了 2004 年医疗支出面板调查和疾病成本法，该方法汇总了医疗保健成本和生产力损失。
DW 的经济负担约为 12 亿美元，占所有皮肤病和疾病（SDD）成本的 10.5%。在所有私营行业（即，七个行业的总和）中，每个受雇人员的成本为 DW 约 11 美元，SDD 约 109 美元。在所有服务部门，七个部门之一，每个受雇人员的成本为 DW 约 15 美元，SDD 约 113 美元。
本研究基于美国人口的代表性样本，提供了 DW 经济负担的首次公开估计。
