摘要
Objective: To estimate the direct medical and indirect (absenteeism and short-term disability) cost burden of Crohn's Disease (CD) rind Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Methods: Data were obtained from 1999 to 2005 MarketScan databases. Twelve-month expenditures for patients with CD and UC were compared to expenditures among an. equal number of propensity score matched comparison group patients. Regression analysis controlled for demographics and case-mix. Results: Annual medical expenditures were significantly higher for commercially insured CD and UC patients compared to matched comparison group patients ($18,963 vs $5300 for CD patients, $15,020 vs $4982 for UC patients, respectively, all P < 0.001). Indirect costs were also high for employed patients with these conditions. Conclusions: CD and UC are costly diseases with a signficant cost burden related to health care utilization and productivity loss. (J Occup Environ Med. 2008;50: 1261-1272)
