Abstract

The aim of the study was to undertake a detailed analysis of healthcare cost, public transfer payments, and income loss associated with a broad range of mental disorders in Denmark. Based on all persons living in Denmark, we identified those with a hospital diagnosis of one of 18 types of mental disorders and 10 age- and sex-matched controls per case. For each mental disorder, the outcomes were nationwide totals, cost per case, and cost per capita, investigated by sex, age strata, and the number of years after diagnosis. We found a substantial annual income loss of 5 billion Euros and excess healthcare cost of 1 billion Euros for persons with any mental disorder. Each mental disorder was associated with an income loss, excess healthcare cost, and excess public transfer payments compared to matched controls. An interactive data visualisation site with summary data is available at https://nbepi.com/cost .

丹麦精神障碍的费用:一项基于登记的研究

这项研究旨在对丹麦与各种精神障碍相关的医疗成本、公共转移支付和收入损失进行详细分析。我们以居住在丹麦的所有人为基础，确定了经医院诊断患有 18 种精神障碍中的一种的病例，并为每个病例确定了 10 名年龄和性别匹配的对照者。针对每种精神障碍，我们按性别、年龄层和诊断后的年数调查了全国总费用、每例费用和人均费用。我们发现，任何一种精神障碍患者每年都会造成 50 亿欧元的收入损失和 10 亿欧元的超额医疗成本。与匹配的对照组相比，每种精神障碍都与收入损失、超额医疗成本和超额公共转移支付有关。有关数据汇总的交互式数据可视化网站见 https://nbepi.com/cost 。
