The objective was to investigate factors influencing patients' willingness to pay (WTP) and physician's views on the cost of therapy for two contrasted chronic diseases, chronic heart failure and psoriasis.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted in ten developing countries, using a stated WTP contingent valuation method. Multivariate analyses were performed by linear regression.
Independent factors influencing patient WTP were income (+0.04 $PPP [purchasing power parity] in WTP per $PPP in monthly income; p < 0.001) and purchase of branded treatment for chronic heart failure therapy, and income, out-of-pocket treatment costs but also education level higher than secondary school (+115 $PPP in WTP comparatively to patients with none/primary school level; p = 0.008) for psoriasis therapy, suggesting the influence of sociopsychological factors in this disease.
Disease-specific factors may affect WTP for treatment that should be accounted for to support effective public health programs in developing countries.
本研究旨在调查影响两种截然不同的慢性疾病(慢性心力衰竭和银屑病)患者支付意愿(WTP)以及医生对治疗费用看法的因素。
采用陈述性支付意愿条件价值评估法,在十个发展中国家开展了一项横断面调查。通过线性回归进行多变量分析。
影响患者支付意愿的独立因素包括:收入(月收入每增加1美元购买力平价[PPP],慢性心力衰竭治疗的支付意愿增加0.04美元PPP;p<0.001)以及购买品牌化慢性心力衰竭治疗药物;对于银屑病治疗,影响因素有收入、自付治疗费用以及教育水平高于中学(与未接受教育/小学水平的患者相比,支付意愿增加115美元PPP;p=0.008),这表明社会心理因素对该疾病有影响。
特定疾病因素可能会影响治疗的支付意愿,在制定发展中国家有效的公共卫生项目时应予以考虑。
