Evaluate healthcare costs and utilization of treated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL) patients.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Adults with newly diagnosed DLBCL and FL between 1 January 2008 and 31 October 2015 were identified in the Optum™ claims database. Healthcare costs and utilization were assessed from diagnosis date until end of follow-up.
A total of 1267 DLBCL- and 1595 FL-treated patients were identified. Mean per-patient, per-month cost during follow-up was US$11,890 for DLBCL and US$10,460 for FL. Healthcare costs and utilization decreased from year 1 to 2 following diagnosis, due to a decrease in chemotherapy services, inpatient admissions and other outpatient services.
The economic burden of treated DLBCL and FL is considerable, especially in the first year following diagnosis.
评估治疗弥漫性大 B 细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)和滤泡性淋巴瘤(FL)患者的医疗保健费用和利用情况。
在 Optum™索赔数据库中,确定了 2008 年 1 月 1 日至 2015 年 10 月 31 日期间新诊断为 DLBCL 和 FL 的成年人。从诊断日期到随访结束,评估医疗保健费用和利用情况。
共确定了 1267 例 DLBCL 治疗患者和 1595 例 FL 治疗患者。在随访期间,每位患者每月的平均医疗费用为 DLBCL 患者 11890 美元,FL 患者 10460 美元。由于化疗服务、住院和其他门诊服务的减少,诊断后第 1 年至第 2 年,医疗保健费用和利用情况有所下降。
治疗后的 DLBCL 和 FL 的经济负担相当大,尤其是在诊断后的第一年。
