“…Health-care expenditures on pollution-induced diarrhoea and typhoid are difficult to quantify due to inadequate data. However, the costs of treating these diseases, especially for children, represent only a small proportion of the health costs to society from these diseases 274,275 and the impoverishing effect of these diseases can be as great, if not greater, than the direct cost of illness. For example, in children who survive diarrhoea, effects on nutritional status and school attendance are likely to far outweigh the costs of treatment.…”

“…Sin embargo, pocos estudios consideran una estimación discriminada para neumonía hospitalizada sin complicaciones (equivalente a nuestra neumonía que solo requiere hospitalización general) y la neumonía hospitalizada con complicaciones (equivalente a neumonía que requiere UCI). Nuestras estimaciones también son inferiores a las estimaciones hechas para población pediátrica de LAC y a las estimadas para Colombia 25 .…”

Recibido el 12 de marzo de 2015; aceptado el 13 de abril de 2015 Disponible en Internet el 10 de junio de 2015 PALABRAS CLAVEInfección respiratoria aguda grave; Costos directos de atención; Nicaragua ResumenObjetivo: Estimar los costos de tratamiento hospitalario de la infección respiratoria aguda grave (IRAG) en niños en Nicaragua. Métodos: Se estimaron costos de tratamiento de pacientes hospitalizados a partir del microcosteo retrospectivo de una muestra aleatoria de casos ocurridos durante el periodo 2009-2011 en Nicaragua y atendidos en un hospital pediátrico universitario de alta complejidad. Se calculó una muestra aleatoria de pacientes con diagnósticos de IRAG (CIE-10), según parámetros extraídos de la literatura. En esta, se estimó el costo promedio por paciente. Los costos fueron expresados en moneda local de 2011 y dólares americanos. Resultados: El costo promedio total de atención de caso en niños fue de 314,9 US$ (intervalo de confianza [IC] 95%: 280,1-349,7 US$) y de 971,6 (655,5-1.287,8 US$) para los que requirieron UCI. El 41% de los costos en los que solo requieren hospitalización general se explican por gastos de hotelería, mientras que en los que requieren UCI el 52% es por medicamentos. Conclusión: El microcosteo de los casos incluidos de IRAG permitió estimar un valor medio por caso tratado, con sus respectivos IC y estos podrían tener validez para el total de la población atendida por estos diagnósticos en hospitales con similar perfil epidemiológico y similar nivel de complejidad en Nicaragua.

Abstractobjective To estimate the average treatment costs of pneumonia and meningitis among children under five years of age in a tertiary hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam from societal, health sector and household perspectives.methods We used a cost-of-illness approach to identify cost categories to be included for different perspectives. A prospective survey was conducted among eligible patients to get detailed personal costing items.results From the perspective of the health sector, the mean costs for treating a case of pneumonia and meningitis were USD 180 and USD 300, respectively. From the household's perspective, the average treatment costs were USD 272 for pneumonia and USD 534 for meningitis. When also including indirect costs, the average total treatment costs from the societal perspective were USD 318 for pneumonia and USD 727 for meningitis.conclusion The study contributed to limited evidence on the high treatment costs of pneumonia and meningitis to the Vietnamese society, which is useful for a cost-effectiveness analysis of Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine or other relevant disease preventions. It also indicated a need to re-evaluate the health insurance policy for children under 6 years old, so that the unnecessarily high out-of-pocket costs of these diseases are reduced.keywords cost of illness, pneumonia, meningitis, Vietnam
