The economic burden and quality of life of patients with psoriasis treated with biologics in China.

BACKGROUND: Although biologics improve the quality of life of psoriasis patients, they also impose a substantial economic burden. There is a lack of research addressing the economic and humanistic impact of biologics in China. OBJECTIVE: This cross-sectional investigation aims to assess the economic cost, quality of life, and patient satisfaction among individuals with psoriasis treated with biologics and non-biologics. METHODS: From July 2021 to December 2022, eligible patients with psoriasis were recruited through both on-site and online questionnaire completion. The questionnaires collect

Medical and economic burden of delirium on hospitalization outcomes of acute respiratory failure: A retrospective national cohort.

Although delirium in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) may evolve in any hospital setting, previous studies on the impact of delirium on ARF were restricted to those in the intensive care unit (ICU). The data about the impact of delirium on ARF hospitalizations outside of the ICU is limited. Therefore, we conducted the first national study to examine the effect-magnitude of delirium on ARF in all hospital settings, that is, in the ICU as well as on the general medical floor. We searched the 2016 and 2017 National Inpatient Sample databases for ARF hospitalizations and created "Deli

Predictors of Financial Toxicity Among United States Prostate Cancer Survivors: Results From a National Survey.

INTRODUCTION: Despite increasing attention to financial toxicity associated with prostate cancer, national rates of subjective and objective financial toxicity have not been well characterized, and it remains unknown which prostate cancer survivors are at highest risk for undue financial burden. METHODS: Men with a history of prostate cancer were identified from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. The proportion of men reporting catastrophic health care expenditures (out-of-pocket spending >10% of income) and other measures of financial toxicity were assessed. Multivariable logistic regress

Profiles of financial toxicity and influencing factors among cancer patients: A latent profile analysis.

BACKGROUND: While cancer treatment has improved patient prognosis, it has also become more costly. The high hospitalization expenses for cancer patients place a significant financial burden on individuals, families, and society.

Real-World Analysis of Outcomes and Economic Burden in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease with and without Secondary Hyperparathyroidism among a Sample of the Italian Population.

This real-world analysis evaluated the clinical and economic burden of non-dialysis-dependent CKD patients with and without secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) in Italy. An observational retrospective study was conducted using administrative databases containing a pool of healthcare entities covering 2.45 million health-assisted individuals. Adult patients with hospitalization discharge diagnoses for CKD stages 3, 4, and 5 were included from 1 January 2012 to 31 March 2015 and stratified using the presence/absence of sHPT. Of the 5710 patients, 3119 were CKD-only (62%) and 1915 were CKD + sHP

The Cost and Financial Burden of Thyroid Cancer on Patients in the US: A Review and Directions for Future Research.

IMPORTANCE: In the US, thyroid cancer has been identified as a cancer type with a high degree of associated financial burden on patients, and survivors of thyroid cancer report higher rates of bankruptcy than those of other cancer types. However, the available literature on the financial burden of thyroid cancer has not yet been described. OBSERVATIONS: Estimates of the out-of-pocket costs of initial thyroid cancer diagnosis and treatment range widely ($1425-$17 000) and are influenced by age, surgical treatment type, and health insurance coverage. The rates of patient-reported financial burd

Epidemiology and Financial Burden of Adult Chronic Hypoparathyroidism.

This is the first study in Pakistan to nationally assess geographic access and expenditures for patients undergoing surgery. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study of patients undergoing laparotomy, cesarean section, and surgical management of a fracture at public tertiary care hospitals across

[Research progress on the incidence and economic burden of herpes zoster disease in immunocompromised population].

With the increase of age or the impairment of immune function, the specific cellular immune level against varicella zoster virus (VZV) in the body decreases, and the latent VZV in the ganglion can be reactivated to cause herpes zoster (HZ). HZ and its main complication postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) can seriously affect the quality of life of patients. The immunocompromised (IC) population is more prone to HZ than the immunocompetent population due to diseases and therapeutic drugs. This paper reviews the incidence, risk factor and economic burden of HZ in IC population with special health statu

Patient perspectives on the physical, psycho-social, and financial impacts of diabetic foot ulceration and amputation.

AIMS: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and ulceration are complex and lifelong problems for patients with diabetes which dramatically increase mortality rates. This qualitative study sought to capture detailed personal accounts and insights from patients with a clinical history of DFUs and amputations to better understand patient experiences. METHODS: Fifteen patients from a tertiary referral center that treats diabetic foot problems were approached for participation. Inclusion criteria included having at least one DFU and being of white, Native American, or Hispanic background. Interviews were co

Frequency and Correlates of Financial Distress in Patients with Advanced Cancer.

INTRODUCTION: Financial distress, a term used to encompass the negative consequences of the cost of medical treatment, can lead to delay of care, psychological distress, or even bankruptcy for patients and/or their families. Cancer is an expensive medical condition, and this distress is not routinely assessed. METHODS: The primary objective of this study was to determine the frequency of high financial distress in patients with advanced cancer. Secondary objectives include determining the association between high financial distress with clinical and demographic characteristics. Primary outcom

Financial distress/well-being and living situation in Ecuadorian health workers.

The tendency to live alone is a relatively recent phenomenon in Ecuador, but it is expanding rapidly. This study aims to identify factors associated with financial distress/well-being according to living situation (living alone vs. living with a partner) in Ecuadorian health workers. This study examined the construct of financial distress/well-being in a sample of 800 Ecuadorian health workers using cross-sectional data. Living situation was compared using generalized linear model analyses including income, age, children living at home, self-perception of health, depression, anxiety and stress

Debt Collection Pressure and Mental Health: Evidence from a Cohort of U.S. Young Adults.

The debt collection industry in the United States has grown in tandem with rising indebtedness. Prior research on debt and mental health mainly treats debt as a resource and liability rather than a power relationship between creditors and debtors. We study the mental health consequences of debt collection pressure using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-1997 Cohort (N = 7,236). Drawing on stress theory and health power resources theory, we posit collection pressure as a relational stressor that undermines well-being through negative interactions with debt collectors, financia

A systematic review on the relationship between socioeconomic conditions and emotional disorder symptoms during Covid-19: unearthing the potential role of economic concerns and financial strain.

BACKGROUND: Covid-19 has disrupted the lives of many and resulted in high prevalence rates of mental disorders. Despite a vast amount of research into the social determinants of mental health during Covid-19, little is known about whether the results are consistent with the social gradient in mental health. Here we report a systematic review of studies that investigated how socioeconomic condition (SEC)-a multifaceted construct that measures a person's socioeconomic standing in society, using indicators such as education and income, predicts emotional health (depression and anxiety) risk durin
