INTRODUCTION: This study quantifies costs associated with comorbid conditions among adults diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who experience acute exacerbations (AECOPD) needing inpatient hospitalization.
METHODS: This retrospective cohort study used 2006-2015 IQVIA PharMetrics® Plus data, a health plan claims database. Patients aged 40-64 years, with AECOPD, defined as an inpatient hospitalization for a COPD-related diagnosis were included. The impact of comorbidities on AECOPD costs (costs of the COPD-related inpatient stay plus healthcare services used 30 days post-discharge) was determined using multivariable regression. The models adjusted for clinical complications, previous utilization, age, sex, region, year, length of hospitalization, and season of admission.
RESULTS: Among these COPD patients, 89.5% had at least 1 comorbidity. The mean cost for AECOPD was 2015 US $19,687 (SD: 27,035, median: 11,539). Congestive heart failure, lipid disorders, cancer, and presence of any of the 10 most frequent comorbidities were associated with $1,921 (95% confidence interval (CI): 977-2,866), $1,619 (95% CI: 967-2,272), $8,347 (95% CI: 7,236-9,458), and $4,433 (95% CI: 3,598-5,268) higher costs, respectively than corresponding individuals without these comorbid conditions. Patients with depressive disorders were associated with $1,592 (95% CI: 828-2,355) lower costs compared to those without depressive disorders.
CONCLUSION: COPD comorbidity imposes a significant economic burden on AECOPD.
