OBJECTIVE: To evaluate outcomes, healthcare resource utilization, and costs associated with mucormycosis in inpatient settings in Japan.
METHODS: We performed a systematic literature review, followed by a retrospective database study using hospital health claims for patients in Japan hospitalized with a diagnosis of mucormycosis between January 2010 and January 2019. Outcomes assessed included duration of index hospitalization; index stay mortality; hospital readmission within 30, 60, and 90 days after index hospitalization discharge; drug/treatment utilization and patterns; number of patients examined for mucormycosis during the index hospitalization; and index stay inpatient costs.
RESULTS: From our systematic literature review of articles describing 133 patients with mucormycosis, mortality in the index hospitalization was 55.6%. From our database study of 126 patients hospitalized for mucormycosis, mortality during the index hospitalization was 35.7% and mean index stay duration was 94 days. Hematologic malignancies were the most common risk factor in the literature review and the most common comorbidity in the database study. During the index stay, 39 patients (31.0%) received liposomal amphotericin B (L-AMB) treatment and 74 patients (58.7%) received other antifungal treatments. Median total inpatient costs for the index hospitalization were equivalent to approximately US$60,945, including US$29,283 in drug costs.
CONCLUSIONS: This study investigated the healthcare resource utilization and cost of medical resources caused by mucormycosis in Japan. The drug costs for antifungal treatments comprised about half of total inpatient costs. Mucormycosis leads to high mortality, high healthcare resource utilization, and high costs.
