To investigate the evolution of prevalence of catastrophic health expenditure in the Brazilian Federal District at three different times (2003, 2009 and 2018), as well, to identify the composition of outof- pocket expenditure in the respective years.
Time series study, using descriptive data from the Family Budget Survey. Prevalence was stratified by consumption quintiles.
754 households were selected as a sample in 2003, 695 in 2009 and 1,000 in 2018. Taking a 10% consumption threshold, prevalence of catastrophic expenditure was 12.3% (95%CI 9.6;14.9) in 2003, 15.3% (95%CI 12.1;18.3) in 2009 and 14.1% (95CI% 11.8;16.2) in 2018. Households with lower income had higher prevalence of catastrophic expenditure. Medicines have a greater burden on expenditure of low-income families.
There was an increase in prevalence of catastrophic expenditure in the Federal District. Medicines were the main expense for the poorest families.
调查巴西联邦区三个不同时间点(2003年、2009年和2018年)灾难性卫生支出患病率的演变情况,并确定各年份自付费用的构成。
采用时间序列研究,使用家庭预算调查的描述性数据。患病率按消费五分位数分层。
2003年选取754户家庭作为样本,2009年为695户,2018年为1000户。以10%的消费阈值计算,2003年灾难性支出的患病率为12.3%(95%可信区间9.6;14.9),2009年为15.3%(95%可信区间12.1;18.3),2018年为14.1%(95%可信区间11.8;16.2)。收入较低的家庭灾难性支出的患病率较高。药品对低收入家庭的支出负担更大。
联邦区灾难性支出的患病率有所上升。药品是最贫困家庭的主要支出。
