Hemophilia is a congenital disorder characterized by deficiency or absence of clotting factor VIII in hemophilia A (HA) or clotting factor IX in hemophilia B (HB), resulting in frequent, repeated, and prolonged spontaneous or traumatic bleeding into joints or soft tissue. Severity is classified by the patient's baseline level of clotting factor activity as mild (>5%-40%), moderate (1%-5%), or severe (<1%). In Spain, there is limited information on the societal economic burden of disease. To estimate the economic and humanistic burden of disease in adult patients with non-inhibitor moderate and severe HA and HB in Spain. Spanish data from the CHESS II study (2018-2020) on patients' clinical characteristics, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and hemophilia-related healthcare resource utilization were analyzed. Economic burden was determined by estimating condition-related annual per-patient direct (medical and nonmedical) and indirect costs, stratified according to hemophilia type and severity and presented as 2022 Euros. HRQoL was assessed via the EQ-5D-5L. Of 341 patients in the Spanish CHESS II cohort, 288 patients met the inclusion criteria: 181 had HA (37% [n = 66] moderate and 63% [n=115] severe) and 107 had HB (26% [n = 28] moderate and 74% [n = 79] severe). Mean annual direct cost was higher in HB than in HA, and higher in severe than in moderate patients, resulting in an annual cost/patient of €17 251 (moderate HA), €17 796 (moderate HB), €116 767 (severe HA) and €206 996 (severe HB). The main direct cost component in all groups except moderate HA was factor replacement therapy. Mean per-patient indirect cost was €4089 (moderate HA), €797 (moderate HB), €8633 (severe HA) and €8049 (severe HB). Finally, the mean total cost (direct and indirect) for moderate and severe patients were €91 017 (HA) and €163 924 (HB). EQ-5D-5L [SD] scores were lower in patients with severe HA (0.77 [0.18]) and severe HB (0.70 [0.22]) compared with patients with moderate HA (0.81 [0.15]) and moderate HB (0.86 [0.17]). Independently of the type of hemophilia, greater condition severity was associated with increased costs and a decrease in HRQoL.
血友病是一种先天性疾病,其特征是A型血友病(HA)中凝血因子VIII缺乏或缺失,或B型血友病(HB)中凝血因子IX缺乏或缺失,导致关节或软组织频繁、反复且长时间的自发性或创伤性出血。严重程度根据患者凝血因子活性的基线水平分为轻度(>5%-40%)、中度(1%-5%)或重度(<1%)。在西班牙,关于该疾病的社会经济负担的信息有限。为了估计西班牙非抑制性中度和重度HA及HB成年患者的疾病经济和人文负担。分析了来自CHESS II研究(2018 - 2020年)的西班牙患者临床特征、健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)和血友病相关医疗资源利用的数据。经济负担通过估计与疾病相关的每位患者每年直接(医疗和非医疗)和间接成本来确定,根据血友病类型和严重程度分层,并以2022欧元表示。通过EQ - 5D - 5L评估HRQoL。在西班牙CHESS II队列的341名患者中,288名患者符合纳入标准:181名患有HA(37%[n = 66]为中度,63%[n = 115]为重度),107名患有HB(26%[n = 28]为中度,74%[n = 79]为重度)。HB患者的平均年度直接成本高于HA患者,重度患者高于中度患者,导致每位患者的年度成本分别为17251欧元(中度HA)、17796欧元(中度HB)、116767欧元(重度HA)和206996欧元(重度HB)。除中度HA外,所有组的主要直接成本组成部分是因子替代疗法。每位患者的平均间接成本分别为4089欧元(中度HA)、797欧元(中度HB)、8633欧元(重度HA)和8049欧元(重度HB)。最后,中度和重度患者的平均总成本(直接和间接)分别为91017欧元(HA)和163924欧元(HB)。与中度HA患者(0.81[0.15])和中度HB患者(0.86[0.17])相比,重度HA患者(0.77[0.18])和重度HB患者(0.70[0.22])的EQ - 5D - 5L[标准差]得分更低。无论血友病类型如何,病情严重程度越高,成本越高,HRQoL越低。
