Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To assess the economic burden of dengue fever in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, China, 2018, and to provide a certain quantitative basis for the health administrative institution to formulate relevant prevention and control strategies. Methods Forty new cases of dengue fever were selected who were isolated and treated in a grade A tertiary hospital of Ningbo. Their information such as hospitalization process, treatment costs, indirect costs, and medical insurance reimbursement rate were collected to estimate the economic burden of dengue fever. Results The median length of hospitalization of the 40 cases was 8 (6-9) days. The economic burden of dengue fever was 3 718.16 (2 453.19-5 536.46) yuan per capita, with the direct economic burden of disease of 2 253.75 (767.16-3 606.54) yuan and the indirect economic burden of disease of 1 701.36 (1 432.72-1 813.29) yuan, indicating that the direct economic burden accounted for a large proportion. The total economic burden was about 260.30 (171.70-387.60) thousand yuan, with the direct economic burden of disease of 157.8 thousand yuan and the indirect economic burden of disease of 119.10 thousand yuan. Of the 40 dengue fever cases, 72.50% participated in medical insurance. The medical insurance reimbursement rate was negatively correlated with the direct medical economic burden, the direct economic burden of disease, and the economic burden of disease; the direct medical economic burden decreased as the reimbursement rate increased (P<0.05). Conclusion The economic burden of dengue fever in Ningbo is relatively high, the participation rate in medical insurance should be further increased to reduce the direct medical economic burden of patients.

Key words: Dengue fever, Economic burden of disease, Medical insurance participation rate

摘要：

目的评估2018年宁波市登革热疾病经济负担，为卫生行政部门制定相关防控策略提供一定的量化依据。方法选取在宁波市某三级甲等医院住院隔离治疗的40例登革热新发病例为研究对象，通过回顾性研究，收集病例就医经过、治疗费用、间接费用、医保报销比例等信息，估算登革热病例的经济负担。结果 40例病例住院天数的中位数为8（6~9）d；人均登革热疾病经济负担为3 718.16（2 453.19~5 536.46）元，其中直接疾病经济负担为2 253.75（767.16~3 606.54）元，间接疾病经济负担为1 701.36（1 432.72~1 813.29）元，直接疾病经济负担占疾病经济负担中较大的比重。总体经济负担约为26.03（17.17~38.76）万元，其中直接疾病经济负担为15.78万元，间接疾病经济负担为11.91万元。40例登革热病例的医保参保率为72.50%，直接医疗经济负担、直接疾病经济负担和疾病经济负担与医疗保险报销比例存在负相关，医保报销比例越高，直接医疗经济负担越低（P<0.05）。结论宁波市登革热疾病经济负担较高，应进一步提高医疗保险的参保率，降低患者的直接医疗经济负担。
