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.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
