Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:This study reviewed patient characteristics, management, and medical costs of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) in Spanish hospitals. METHODS:Data were extracted from the Spanish Ministry of Health records via a claims database containing patient records from 192 private and 313 public hospitals between 1997 and 2015 for AML, and 2008 and 2015 for MDS. Direct medical costs at the hospital level were calculated based on mean medical procedure costs determined per the Spanish Ministry of Health. RESULTS:Records for 39,568 patients with AML and 33,091 with MDS were analyzed. The median age of AML patients was 65 years (interquartile range (IQR) = 27) and of MDS patients was 81 years (IQR = 12). In terms of disease management, 58% and 83% of admissions were due to emergencies for patients with AML and MDS, respectively; median length of hospital stay was 14 days (IQR = 25) for AML and seven days (IQR = 9) for MDS. There was an increase in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantations over time for patients with AML or MDS. Mean annual direct medical costs of AML and MDS, respectively, were €66,422,245 and €42,635,313 for total costs, and €30,775 and €10,312 per patient. Of the total costs, transplantations contributed total annual costs of €15,843,982 and €2,705,791 for patients with AML and MDS, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:This study provides novel data to assist decision makers in allocating resources. AML and MDS represent a significant burden for the National Spanish Healthcare System, with substantial costs incurred in secondary care, principally associated with the increasing number of transplantations.
