Cost Effectiveness Analysis of Alzheimer’s Disease

Öz:
Objective: Chronic diseases, comparing to the othertype of diseases, consume most of the resources in the health systems.Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a chronic cerebral disorder and is themost common type of dementia. The purpose of this research is to analyzecost effectiveness according to stages of AD from the perspectiveof Social Security Institution (SSI) and the society and todetermine the burden of the disease on the country's budget. Materialand Methods: Using the Markov Model, three parameters were calculatedin the study: lifelong cost, average survival time (ST) (year),and quality adjusted life year (QALY). Results: According to thecost-effectiveness analysis, treatment in early-stage causes additional₺ 41.237,55 cost and provides additional 1.10 QALY comparing tothe treatment in severe-stage. Likewise, treatment in moderate-stagecauses an additional ₺ (-) 40.439,83 cost and provides additional 1.07QALY comparing to the treatment in severe-stage. According to theresults of the budget impact analysis made from the SSI perspectivefor AD, 0.66% of the total health expenditures were spent on the treatmentof this disease. The social cost of AD was estimated as ₺14.462.457,106. Conclusion: The study was concluded that early andmoderate-stage treatment of AD is cost-effective compared to severestagetreatment. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the socialand economic costs increased and the quality of life of thepatients decreased in the progress stages of AD. The results of thisstudy are thought to be important in terms of the assessment of theeconomic impact of AD in the Turkey.

Alzheimer Hastalığı’nın Maliyet Etkililik Analizi

Öz:
Amaç: Diğer hastalıklar ile karşılaştırıldığında kronik hastalıklar, sağlık sistemi içinde kaynakların çoğunu tüketmektedir. Alzheimer Hastalığı (AH) kronik bir beyin rahatsızlığıdır ve en sık görülen demans tipidir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, AH’nin evrelerine göre Sosyal Güvenlik Kurumu (SGK) ve toplum perspektifinden maliyet etkililiğini analiz etmek ve hastalığın ülke bütçesi üzerindeki yükünü belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmada Markov modeli kullanılarak üç parametre hesaplanmıştır. Bunlar; yaşam boyu maliyet, ortalama yaşam süresi (year) ve kaliteye ayarlı yaşam yıllarıdır (QALY). Bulgular: Maliyet etkililik analizi sonucuna göre, AH’yi erken evrede tedavi etmek ileri evrede tedavi etmeye göre ilave ₺ 41.237,55 maliyet ve 1,10 QALY sağlamaktadır. AH’yi orta evrede tedavi etmek ileri evrede tedavi etmeye göre ise ilave ₺ (-) 40.439,83 maliyet ve 1,07 QALY sağlamaktadır. SGK perspektifinden yapılan bütçe etki analizinin sonuçlarına göre toplam sağlık harcamalarının %0,66’sının bu hastalığın tedavisine harcandığı tespit edilmiştir. AH’nin sosyal maliyeti ise ₺ 14.462.457.106 olarak tahmin edilmiştir. Sonuç: Çalışmada AH'nin erken ve orta evrede tedavi edilmesinin ileri evrede tedavi edilmesine göre en maliyet-etkili seçenek olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, AH’nin ilerleyen aşamalarında sosyal ve ekonomik maliyetlerin arttığı, hastaların yaşam kalitesinin düştüğü ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarının, AH’nin Türkiye'deki ekonomik ve sosyal etkisinin değerlendirilmesi açısından önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir.
