Abstract

Objective: To estimate the economic burden associated with COVID-19 in Córdoba, Colombia, 2020 and 2021.

Methods: Economic burden study. Direct costs were analyzed from the third-party payer perspective using healthcare administrative databases and interviews from a cohort of confirmed COVID-19 cases from Córdoba. Costing aggregation was performed by the bottom-up method. Indirect costs were estimated using the productivity loss approach. Contrast tests and statistical models were estimated at 5% significance.

Results: We studied 1,800 COVID-19 cases. The average economic cost of COVID-19 per episode was estimated at US$ 2,519 (95%CI 1,980;3,047). The direct medical cost component accounted for 92.9% of the total; out-of-pocket and indirect costs accounted for 2% and 5.1%, respectively.

Conclusion: COVID-19 economic cost was mainly due to direct medical costs. This study provided evidence of the economic burden faced by households due to COVID-19, with the most vulnerable households bearing much of the burden on their income.

2020 年和 2021 年哥伦比亚加勒比州因 COVID-19 造成的经济负担。

目的：估算 2020 年和 2021 年哥伦比亚科尔多瓦与 COVID-19 相关的经济负担：估算 2020 年和 2021 年哥伦比亚科尔多瓦与 COVID-19 相关的经济负担：经济负担研究。利用医疗管理数据库和对科尔多瓦COVID-19确诊病例队列的访谈，从第三方支付方的角度分析直接成本。成本汇总采用自下而上的方法。间接成本采用生产力损失法进行估算。对比测试和统计模型的显著性为 5%：我们研究了 1,800 例 COVID-19 病例。COVID-19每次发病的平均经济成本估计为2,519美元（95%CI为1,980;3,047）。直接医疗成本占总成本的 92.9%；自付成本和间接成本分别占 2% 和 5.1%：结论：COVID-19 的经济成本主要来自直接医疗成本。本研究提供了家庭因 COVID-19 而面临经济负担的证据，其中最弱势家庭的收入负担最重。
