Abstract

Background: Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death and disability globally, and the burden is expected to grow rapidly in developing countries. In the absence of health insurance, public provisioning, and donor funds, the management and treatment of NCDs such as hypertension and diabetes might result in very large out-of-pocket expenditures (OOPEs) for households. Objectives: The objectives were as follows: to estimate OOPE and to study the association between sociodemographic characteristics and OOPE among patients suffering from NCDs. Materials and Methods: The sample size was estimated based on a mean OOPE of 63.5 Indian rupees (INR), with a standard deviation (SD) of 110 INR, a sample size of 464 was obtained, and individuals with NCDs were interviewed. Results: Of the total 464 participants, 325 (70%) were female and 139 (30%) were male, with a mean (SD) age of 55.78 ± 13.204. Three hundred and two (65.1%) participants were having hypertension and 232 (50%) were having diabetes. The mean total OOPE was 1173.0603 (INR), with a SD of 1424.54108 (INR), and the mean direct cost incurred was 1141.03. The mean (SD) direct cost spent for medication was 895.61 ± 1100.32, for the laboratory was 148.38 ± 440.7, and for consultation was 97.04 ± 113.86. Only 34 (7.7%) participants were having health insurance. There was an association between the OOPE and sociodemographic profiles such as occupation, educational status, and economic status where the P (<0.05) was noted as P = 0.004, P = 0.024, and P < 0.001, respectively. Conclusion: Knowledge and awareness about health insurance scheme and their benefits help in reducing the OOPE.
迈苏尔市城市贫民窟非传染性疾病自付费用评估
背景:非传染性疾病(NCDs)是全球死亡和残疾的主要原因,预计发展中国家的负担将迅速增加。在没有医疗保险、公共供应和捐助资金的情况下,高血压和糖尿病等非传染性疾病的管理和治疗可能会导致家庭产生非常大的自付支出。目的:目的如下:估计非传染性疾病患者的OOPE,并研究社会人口统计学特征与OOPE之间的关系。材料与方法:样本量以平均OOPE为63.5印度卢比(INR),标准差为110印度卢比(INR)估算,样本量为464人,并对非传染性疾病患者进行访谈。结果:464例患者中,女性325例(70%),男性139例(30%),平均(SD)年龄55.78±13.204岁。312人(65.1%)患有高血压,232人(50%)患有糖尿病。平均总OOPE为1173.0603 (INR), SD为1424.54108 (INR),平均直接成本为1141.03。直接用药费用平均(SD)为895.61±11000.32,实验室费用平均(SD)为148.38±440.7,咨询费用平均(SD)为97.04±113.86。只有34名(7.7%)参与者有健康保险。OOPE与社会人口特征(如职业、教育状况和经济状况)之间存在关联,其中P(<0.05)分别为P = 0.004、P = 0.024和P < 0.001。结论:对健康保险计划及其福利的了解和认识有助于减少OOPE。
