OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of patients with an immunocompromising condition at risk for COVID-19, estimate COVID-19 prevalence rate (PR) and incidence rate (IR) by immunocompromising condition, and describe COVID-19-related healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and costs. METHODS: Using the Healthcare Integrated Research Database (HIRD), patients with ≥1 claim for an immunocompromising condition of interest or ≥2 claims for an immunosuppressive (IS) treatment and COVID-19 diagnosis during the infection period (1 April 2020-31 March 2022) and had ≥12 months baseline data were included. Cohorts (other than the composite cohort) were not mutually exclusive and were defined by each immunocompromising condition. Analyses were descriptive in nature. RESULTS: Of the 16,873,161 patients in the source population, 2.7% ( = 458,049) were immunocompromised (IC). The COVID-19 IR for the composite IC cohort during the study period was 101.3 per 1000 person-years and the PR was 13.5%. The highest IR (195.0 per 1000 person-years) and PR (20.1%) were seen in the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) cohort; the lowest IR (68.3 per 1000 person-years) and PR (9.4%) were seen in the hematologic or solid tumor malignancy cohort. Mean costs for hospitalizations associated with the first COVID-19 diagnosis were estimated at nearly $1 billion (2021 United States dollars [USD]) for 14,516 IC patients, with a mean cost of $64,029 per patient. CONCLUSIONS: Immunocompromised populations appear to be at substantial risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes, leading to increased costs and HCRU. Effective prophylactic options are still needed for these high-risk populations as the COVID-19 landscape evolves.
目的:评估患有 COVID-19 风险的免疫功能低下患者的患病率,按免疫功能低下情况估算 COVID-19 的患病率(PR)和发病率(IR),并描述 COVID-19 相关的医疗资源利用(HCRU)和费用。
方法:使用医疗保健综合研究数据库(HIRD),纳入在感染期(2020 年 4 月 1 日至 2022 年 3 月 31 日)内至少有 1 次免疫功能低下相关疾病的索赔或至少有 2 次免疫抑制(IS)治疗和 COVID-19 诊断的患者,且有至少 12 个月的基线数据。队列(复合队列除外)并非相互排斥,而是根据每种免疫功能低下情况定义。分析为描述性。
结果:在原始人群的 16873161 名患者中,有 2.7%( = 458049)为免疫功能低下(IC)患者。研究期间,复合 IC 队列的 COVID-19 IR 为每 1000 人年 101.3,PR 为 13.5%。在终末期肾病(ESRD)队列中,IR(195.0 每 1000 人年)和 PR(20.1%)最高;在血液系统或实体瘤恶性肿瘤队列中,IR(68.3 每 1000 人年)和 PR(9.4%)最低。在与首次 COVID-19 诊断相关的住院治疗中,估计 14516 名 IC 患者的费用约为 10 亿美元(2021 年美元),每位患者的平均费用为 64029 美元。
结论:免疫功能低下人群似乎面临着严重 COVID-19 结局的巨大风险,导致费用增加和 HCRU。随着 COVID-19 形势的发展,这些高危人群仍需要有效的预防措施。
