Clinical manifestations may result in frequent healthcare visits, hospitalizations, and early death. This retrospective cohort study assessed manifestations, healthcare resource use (HRU), direct medical costs, and the impact of COVID-19 on HRU among patients with LC-FAOD.METHODSThe IQVIA PharMetrics Plus database was searched for pediatric (0-17 years) and adult (≥18 years) patients with confirmed LC-FAOD (ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E71.310) and ≥12 months continuous enrollment (CE) between January 2016-February 2020. A non-LC-FAOD general population cohort was randomly selected and matched using 1:20 exact matching on age, gender, payer type, and CE start year. Manifestations were identified via ICD-10 diagnosis codes (any billing position). Overall HRU and attributable costs were stratified by care setting. Pre-COVID-19 (March 2019-February 2020) and during COVID-19 (March 2020-February 2021) HRU was assessed among a subgroup of patients and the general population. Outcomes were evaluated among children and adults, respectively.RESULTS423 patients with LC-FAOD (47% female; 79.7% children) were included. Mean enrollment duration was 2.6 ± 1.2 years. 22.6% of children with LC-FAOD had at least one major clinical event (MCE), consisting of rhabdomyolysis (10.1%), hypoglycemia (9.8%), or cardiomyopathy (8.6%) versus 1.5% overall occurrence in the general population. Adults with LC-FAOD had higher incidence of MCEs (37.2%) than children with LC-FAOD. Annualized all-cause HRU in all care settings and mean total annualized medical costs (children: $17,082 vs $4,144; adults: $43,602 vs $3,949) were higher in patients with LC-FAOD versus the general population. Patients with LC-FAOD had substantially fewer healthcare visits during COVID-19 across care settings than during the pre-COVID-19 period.CONCLUSIONSLC-FAOD impart a high burden on patients.
