ABSTRACT Introduction: The symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults highly interfere with function in multiple dimensions, increasing the economic burden associated with ADHD. The aim of this study was to explore the impact of ADHD in Spanish adults and estimate the associated economic burden within the healthcare, social, economic, and legal domains. Methods: An economic model was developed from a social perspective using a bottom-up approach, based on the scientific literature and a multidisciplinary expert group. Results: The cost incurred per diagnosed adult patient with ADHD included an annual cost of €15,652 and a one-time cost of €7,893 (3,035 M€ and 1,531 M€ for Spain, respectively). Regarding the annual cost, 50% was attributed to costs within the economic domain, of which 53% were work-absenteeism-related. Moreover, 28% was attributed to costs within the social domain, of which 74% were substance-abuse-related. Regarding the one-time cost, 52% was attributed to costs within the healthcare domain, of which approximately 50% were hospitalization-related costs. Moreover, 42% was attributed to costs within the legal domain, of which 62% were imprisonment-related costs. Conclusions: This is the first report on the socioeconomic burden of ADHD in Spanish adults, shedding light on the large burden that adult ADHD poses on the healthcare system and society at large, as symptoms have been shown to impact almost every aspect of life. This is particularly important for undiagnosed/untreated patients with ADHD in Spain, as appropriate treatments have shown positive results in these areas and may reduce its associated socioeconomic burden.

ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease with a substantial global burden, causing chronic pain and reduced quality of life. Managing OA efficiently while maximizing healthcare resources is crucial. Health economics and health technology assessment (HTA) are central tools providing a framework to evaluate the clinical, economic, and ethical aspects of healthcare technologies and interventions. This article presents some insights into the role of health economics and the HTA process in OA management. It also illustrates an example of cost-effectiveness analysis in a specific healthcare context, on the basis of a recent clinical trial involving hyaluronic acid treatment for knee OA. While HTA offers valuable insights, it faces challenges like data availability and resource constraints. Integrating health economics into decision-making can enhance patient care and allocate resources effectively in OA and other healthcare domains.
摘要 骨关节炎(OA)是一种退行性关节疾病,给全球带来沉重负担,导致慢性疼痛和生活质量下降。有效管理 OA 并最大限度地利用医疗资源至关重要。卫生经济学和卫生技术评估(HTA)是核心工具,为评估医疗保健技术和干预措施的临床、经济和伦理方面提供了框架。本文介绍了卫生经济学和 HTA 流程在 OA 管理中的作用。文章还以最近一项涉及透明质酸治疗膝关节 OA 的临床试验为基础,举例说明了在特定医疗保健背景下的成本效益分析。虽然 HTA 提供了宝贵的见解,但它也面临着数据可用性和资源限制等挑战。将卫生经济学融入决策过程,可以在 OA 和其他医疗保健领域加强对患者的护理并有效分配资源。

Background: Chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) affects patients on hemodialysis. This study identified hemodialysis patients presumably affected or not affected by CKD-aP and integrated healthcare costs, from the perspective of the Italian administrative healthcare data.
Methods: Through cross-linkage of Italian administrative healthcare data collected between 2015 and 2017 (accrual period) in the database of Fondazione ReS (Ricerca e Salute), patients undergoing in-hospital/outpatient hemodialysis were selected. Cohorts with and without CKD-aP were created based on the presence/absence of CKD-aP-related treatment (according to common clinical practice and guidelines) supplies and assessed in terms of CKD-aP-related treatments and mean healthcare costs per capita paid by the Italian National Health Service (INHS).
Results: Of 1,239 people on hemodialysis for ≥2 years, CKD-aP affected 218 patients. Patients with CKD-aP were older and with more comorbidities. During the follow-up year, on average, the INHS spent €37,065 per case, €31,286 per control and € 35,988 per non-CKD-aP subject. High-efficiency dialytic therapies performed to people on hemodialysis with CKD-aP largely weighed on the overall mean annual cost.
Conclusions: This real-world study identified patients on chronic hemodialysis potentially treated for CKD-aP. Interestingly, high-efficiency dialysis seems the most frequent and expensive choice for the treatment of CKD-aP. The discovery of appropriate and effective treatments for this condition might offer cost offsets.
