Abstract

Introduction: Patients with rheumatic diseases may require costly treatment and continuous rehabilitation, which Internet collections may finance. We aimed to characterize medical crowdfunding campaigns for the needs of Polish people with rheumatic diseases.

Material and methods: We utilized data from the largest medical crowdfunding platform in Poland, Siepomaga.pl. All collections in the years 2009-2017 for the needs of people with rheumatic diseases were identified.

Results: Twenty-three of 2,656 collections were included (0.9%). Sixty-five and two percent of campaigns collected the financial target. The median amount of collected funds was 3,369 euros. Ten collections concerned conservative treatments (drug and/or rehabilitation), seven financed surgery, five supported the acquisition of medical equipment or its repair, and one aimed at facilitating a diagnostic consultation with a foreign specialist.

Conclusions: Polish patients with rheumatic diseases collect funds via medical crowdfunding, mostly for needs not covered by public healthcare or to obtain better health services in the private sector.

满足波兰风湿病患者需求的众筹活动:一项回顾性研究。
导言:风湿病患者可能需要昂贵的治疗和持续的康复,互联网收集可以资助。我们的目标是描述波兰风湿病患者需要的医疗众筹活动。材料和方法:我们利用了波兰最大的医疗众筹平台Siepomaga.pl的数据。确定了2009-2017年风湿病患者需要的所有收藏。结果:2656份标本中纳入23份(0.9%)。65%的竞选活动达到了财政目标。筹集资金的中位数为3369欧元。10笔捐款涉及保守治疗(药物和/或康复),7笔捐款资助外科手术,5笔捐款支持购置或维修医疗设备,1笔捐款旨在便利与外国专家进行诊断咨询。结论:波兰风湿病患者通过医疗众筹筹集资金,主要用于公共医疗保健未涵盖的需求或在私营部门获得更好的卫生服务。
