Abstract

Aims: To conduct the first comprehensive cost-of-illness analysis for chronic kidney disease (CKD) management in the Philippines, estimating direct medical, direct non-medical, and indirect costs across all disease stages and renal replacement therapies (RRT).

Methods: A combined top-down and bottom-up quantitative approach was employed. Cost data were collected through facility surveys, literature reviews, and expert panel input. The analysis included cost estimated for both non-diabetic and diabetic CKD scenarios across all stages and RRT modalities. Direct medical costs, transportation costs, and productivity losses were calculated for each CKD stage and RRT option.

Results: Annual costs for CKD management increased progressively with disease advancement, ranging from PHP 44,610.36 to PHP 116,590.24 for non-diabetic patients and PHP 46,451.88 to PHP 120,948.12 for diabetic patients, excluding complication-related expenses. Significant cost increases were observed between stages G2-G3a and G3b-G4. Analysis of RRT showed comparable annual direct medical costs across modalities (∼PHP 401,000-560,000), with differences primarily observed in annual direct non-medical and indirect costs, which were lower in transplant recipients compared to patients on maintenance dialysis (PHP 37,920-246,480 for dialysis; PHP 3,160 for KT recipients).

Limitations: The study primarily focused on urban and semi-urban healthcare facilities, potentially limiting generalizability to rural areas. Long-term cost trajectories and quality-of-life measures were not captured due to the cross-sectional nature of the data.

Conclusions: This analysis provides crucial evidence supporting early detection and intervention strategies in CKD management. It suggests the promotion of peritoneal dialysis as a cost-effective first-line therapy and highlights the long-term economic benefits of kidney transplantation. The findings have significant implications for health policy and clinical practice in the Philippines, offering a foundation for evidence-informed decision-making to improve CKD management sustainability and patient outcomes.

菲律宾慢性肾脏疾病(CKD)管理的疾病成本分析
目的:对菲律宾慢性肾脏疾病(CKD)管理进行首次全面的疾病成本分析,估计所有疾病阶段和肾脏替代疗法(RRT)的直接医疗、直接非医疗和间接成本。方法:采用自顶向下与自底向上相结合的定量方法。成本数据是通过设施调查、文献回顾和专家小组意见收集的。该分析包括非糖尿病和糖尿病CKD在所有阶段和RRT模式下的成本估计。计算每个CKD阶段和RRT方案的直接医疗费用、运输费用和生产力损失。结果:CKD管理的年费用随着疾病进展逐渐增加,非糖尿病患者从44,610.36至116,590.24 PHP,糖尿病患者从46,451.88至120,948.12 PHP,不包括并发症相关费用。在G2-G3a和G3b-G4阶段之间,成本显著增加。RRT分析显示,不同模式的年度直接医疗费用相当(约401,000-560,000菲律宾比索),主要观察到的差异是年度直接非医疗和间接费用,与维持透析的患者相比,移植受体的年度直接非医疗费用较低(透析为37,920-246,480菲律宾比索;KT受助人3 160菲律宾比索)。局限性:该研究主要侧重于城市和半城市医疗保健设施,可能限制了农村地区的推广。由于数据的横断面性质,没有捕获长期成本轨迹和生活质量措施。结论:该分析为CKD管理的早期发现和干预策略提供了重要证据。该研究建议推广腹膜透析作为一种具有成本效益的一线治疗方法,并强调肾移植的长期经济效益。这些发现对菲律宾的卫生政策和临床实践具有重要意义,为循证决策提供了基础,以提高CKD管理的可持续性和患者的预后。
