Abstract
Objectives: Patients with chronic illnesses are susceptible to the financial burden of disease-related treatment costs. Financial toxicity is well researched in cancer and several chronic diseases. This review explores the financial challenges faced by patients with chronic pancreatitis and the impact of financial hardship on their well-being.
Materials and methods: We performed a review of the published literature to summarize the body of existing research and to identify knowledge gaps related to the financial burden experienced by patients with chronic pancreatitis.
Results: Research on financial burden, cost-coping behaviors, cost-related nonadherence to prescribed medications, and social vulnerabilities in people with chronic pancreatitis is sparse. No studies have assessed the suitability and validity of instruments measuring subjective financial toxicity in a patient population with chronic pancreatitis.
Conclusions: There is a critical need for further studies of financial toxicity in the patient population with chronic pancreatitis, considering that if the sources of financial burden can be identified, opportunities emerge to dampen or mitigate their impact on patients with chronic pancreatitis.
