Due to demographic changes in the German population a significant rise in incident cases of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is to be expected in the coming years. Also the corresponding increase in costs of the illness requires appropriate survey instruments to allow accurate estimations of costs. The cost diary for patients with AMD developed in this study is based on a previously established systematic review. The seven studies that were included were evaluated regarding their quality in order to then extract the listed cost items. The result is a prospective survey instrument with six different cost sectors of AMD.
由于德国人口的人口结构变化，预计未来几年年龄相关性黄斑变性（AMD）的发病病例将显著增加。此外，该疾病相应的成本增加需要合适的调查工具来准确估算成本。本研究中开发的AMD患者成本日记基于先前进行的系统评价。对纳入的七项研究进行了质量评估，以便提取所列成本项目。结果是一种针对AMD的具有六个不同成本类别的前瞻性调查工具。
