OBJECTIVE
We examined the cost of lost productivity due to erectile dysfunction (ED) and employer benefit exclusion of penile prosthesis implantation (PPI) among men with employer-sponsored health insurance.
METHODS
A decision-analytic model was developed using administrative claims data, US Bureau of Labor Statistics, and published literature. The economic impact of ED productivity loss and PPi benefit exclusion was reported in2019USD.
RESULTS
Men with ED had an additional 282.7 hours/ year of work impairment compared to men without ED, resulting in annual incremental costs of $7270. US employers excluding PPi benefits could lose $9.3billion/year of work due to additional work impairment from ED.
CONCLUSIONS
Productivity loss due to ED and PPI benefit exclusion have considerable economic impacts on men with ED and their employers. continuous advocacy for benefit exclusion removal is needed to ensure appropriate patient access.
目的
我们研究了勃起功能障碍（ED）导致的生产力损失成本，以及雇主赞助的健康保险中阴茎假体植入术（PPI）被排除在外的情况。
方法
使用行政索赔数据、美国劳工统计局和已发表的文献开发了一个决策分析模型。以 2019 年美元计，报告了 ED 生产力损失和 PPI 福利排除的经济影响。
结果
与没有 ED 的男性相比，患有 ED 的男性每年额外有 282.7 小时的工作障碍，导致每年额外增加 7270 美元的成本。由于 ED 导致的额外工作障碍，美国雇主可能每年损失 93 亿美元的工作机会。
结论
ED 导致的生产力损失和 PPI 福利排除对患有 ED 的男性及其雇主产生了相当大的经济影响。需要持续倡导取消福利排除，以确保患者能够获得适当的治疗。
