Abstract
Underreporting of occupational diseases (OD) is a social and economic problem, because it has negative consequences for both the welfare of the affected workers and its impact on budgetary planning for the management of health services. We evaluated the healthcare costs of a sample of 13 cases of OD treated at a public hospital in Barcelona between 2014 and 2021, and officially accepted by the National Institute of Social Security (INSS). The total cost of care was €474,859, with an average cost of €36,528 per patient. By diagnostic group, the highest costs were associated with cancer cases, accounting for 79% of the total (€375,068). The findings of this study reflect the economic impact of health care provided by a public hospital to patients with an OD recognized by the INSS.
