Introduction: Chronic kidney diseases and treatment protocols and procedures including hemodialysis affect one’s life style, health status and nevertheless socio-economic status of the patients. We aimed to assess the health related quality of life and cost of illness in hemodialysis patients. Methods and materials: This study conducted in a two phases. First we assessed the quality of life of the patients undergo hemodialysis and then Cost of Illness (COI) was estimated. Researchers used census method for sampling and all patients attended teaching hospitals were included in the study. KDQOL-SF used for assessing quality of life of the patients and COI checklist was used for estimating costs of them during the study. Results: 38 (76%) of the participants were male and other were female (12, 2%). Also 76% of the patients were married. Mean score of quality of life was 221.2 ± 17.31. Direct medical costs of every patient with hemodialysis was calculated 268.71$ and total cost for every patients was estimated for 2,050.09$ per year for receiving hemodialysis care on average. Significant relationship found between the quality of life and gender and employment status. Also, there was a significant relationship between the total costs of the studied hemodialysis patients and the variables of employment status and job type. (α≤0.05) Conclusion: Although the quality of life score of hemodialysis patients was assessed relatively high, due to the fact that most of the treatment costs included overhead and indirect costs from the patient's out of pocket payments, it is recommended to the health authorities to take decisions such as setting up more dialysis centers to reduce these costs, and developing supportive subsidiary plans for these type of patients.

“…The visual analog scale (VAS) was higher than EQ-5D. The highest utility scores of hemodialysis in Thai patients from a previous study was 0.69 [25]. However, we used the utility scores from EQ-5D, which was 0.55 in our model based on the comparability with a previously published systematic review and metaanalysis [26].…”

Original article. Cost-effectiveness of annual microalbuminuria screening in Thai diabetics

et al. 2014

Background: Diabetes is a leading cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD), which impacts on treatment costs and patients' quality of life. Microalbuminuria screening in patients with diabetes as an early intervention is beneficial in slowing the progression of diabetic nephropathy. Objectives: We aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of annual microalbuminuria screening in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: We compared screening by urine dipsticks with a "do nothing" scenario. To replicate the natural history of diabetic nephropathy, a Markov model based on a simulated cohort of 10,000 45-year-old normotensive diabetic patients was utilized. We calculated the cost and quality of life gathered from a cross-sectional survey. The costs of dialysis were derived from The National Health Security Office (NHSO). We also calculated the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) for lifetime with a future discount rate of 3%. Results: The ICER was 3,035 THB per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses showed that all ICERs were less than the Thai Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita (150,000 THB in 2011) based on World Health Organization's suggested criteria. Conclusions: Annual microalbuminuria screening using urine dipsticks in type 2 diabetic patients is very costeffective in Thailand based on World Health Organization's recommendations. This finding has corroborated the benefit of this screening in the public health benefit package.
