To estimate healthcare utilization and costs in amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis.
PATIENTS & METHODS: AL amyloidosis patients were identified in 2007-2015 claims databases if they had ≥1 inpatient/≥2 outpatient claims consistent with AL amyloidosis and received ≥1 AL-specific treatment. Descriptive statistics were reported.
50.1% (n = 3670) were admitted ≥1 time during the year, 11.3% (n = 827) ≥3 times. From 2007 to 2015, bortezomib use increased from 4.6 to 25.3%; melphalan use decreased from 18.9 to 2.0%; costs increased from 92,866 to $114,030. Among incident patients with at least 2 years of follow-up, healthcare utilization and costs decreased from first to second year post-diagnosis.
AL chemotherapy-based prescribing practices changed. Total annual healthcare costs increased over time among AL amyloidosis patients.
评估轻链(AL)淀粉样变性患者的医疗服务利用情况及费用。
2007年至2015年的理赔数据库中识别出AL淀粉样变性患者,条件为他们有≥1次住院/≥2次门诊理赔记录与AL淀粉样变性相符且接受了≥1次AL特异性治疗。报告描述性统计数据。
50.1%(n = 3670)患者在一年内住院≥1次,11.3%(n = 827)患者住院≥3次。从2007年到2015年,硼替佐米的使用从4.6%增至25.3%;美法仑的使用从18.9%降至2.0%;费用从92,866美元增至114,030美元。在至少随访2年的初发患者中,医疗服务利用情况及费用在诊断后的第一年到第二年有所下降。
基于AL化疗的处方实践发生了变化。AL淀粉样变性患者的年度医疗总费用随时间增加。
