Abstract Background In 2016, the World Health Organization estimated the global incidence of gonorrhea (GC) to be 86.9 million, and the reported incidence of GC in 2017 was 145.8 cases per 100,000 females and 212.8 cases per 100,000 males in the US. GC therefore represents a significant global healthcare burden; as the infection can be recurrent, overall costs can accumulate. We undertook a systematic literature review (SLR) to examine the economic burden of illness for GC in key countries. Methods Systematic searches were conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases to identify English-language articles published from January 1, 2009–December 1, 2019 reporting data on the economic burden of uncomplicated urogenital GC (uuGC) in the US, the UK, Germany, Japan and China. The SLR was conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines (2009). Articles were evaluated for eligibility using population, intervention, comparison, outcome, study design and time period criteria (Table). Dual-independent screening was used at both the abstract and full-text levels; data were captured by a single reviewer with validation by a second reviewer. Table. PICOS-T Study Selection Criteria Results The SLR identified 27 eligible articles (Figure), of which 17 studies (16 US, 1 UK) reported the economic burden of uuGC. The studies primarily reported cost data, with a subset reporting limited resource use. Lifetime costs for uuGC, when elaborated upon, considered the potential for pelvic inflammatory disease among women, and epididymitis in men, as well as lifetime medical costs associated with human immunodeficiency virus. Among the 16 studies reporting costs, the total estimated lifetime cost of uuGC in the US reached as high as $162.1 million. Costs varied vastly based on sex, with one study reporting lifetime estimates up to $163,433 for men but $7,534,692 for women in 2005. Nine studies described costs per patient/infection and found average costs ranging from $26.92–$438.46, though most fell in the range of $79–$354. Figure. PRISMA flow diagram of study inclusion and exclusion Conclusion We identified a large body of evidence detailing the economic burden of GC. The cost burden varied by sex and was higher for females. However, the vast majority of the evidence came from the US, highlighting the need for more global research. Disclosures Amber Martin, BS, Evidera (Employee)GlaxoSmithKline plc.

Abstract Objectives: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of rare autosomal-recessive disorders that arise from genetic deficiencies in key enzymes involved in cortisol synthesis. The burden of CAH has never been comprehensively reviewed; this literature review was conducted to summarise the existing burden of illness evidence available for these patients. Methods: A structured, comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify articles describing the burden and treatment landscape of CAH. Literature databases (MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Library and EconLit), websites and conference proceedings were searched. Searches were performed in 2016 and updated in June 2020; eligible articles presented evidence for patients with CAH or paediatric patients with adrenal insufficiency (AI), for ≥1 topic of interest (epidemiology; natural history; clinical characteristics; humanistic, caregiver and economic burden; treatment options; or clinical guidelines). The evidence presented here focusses on the humanistic and economic burden of CAH in adults. Results: A total of 3,711 citations were identified and 336 were included; 84 references reported humanistic or economic burden data relevant to adult patients with CAH. 51 publications were identified reporting patient symptoms, comorbidities and cardiometabolic risk factors; 38 reporting on the impact of CAH on health-related quality of life (HRQL); 5 reporting patient views and 2 reporting economic burden associated with CAH. Compared to the general population, adult patients with CAH were found to be significantly shorter, have poorer bone health, increased levels of obesity, impaired male and female fertility, higher blood pressure and cholesterol levels, have more psychiatric and neurological disorders and have poorer cognitive performance. Adult patients with CAH were also found to have greater insulin resistance and higher levels of type 2 diabetes (T2D). CAH patients are also at risk of adrenal crisis, which contributes to excess mortality. The reported HRQL in adults with CAH varies, with increased impairment observed in more severe forms of CAH, and challenges due to living with a chronic disease impacting HRQL varying according to sex. “Sick day rules” where patients need to double or triple treatment doses, have a significant impact on patients’ HRQL and also have an impact on patients’ resource use, with a UK study reporting that CAH patients will implement these rules 171 times over their lifetime, and be hospitalised for adrenal crises on 11 occasions. CAH was also found to have a significant economic impact, with significantly higher annual healthcare costs compared to matched controls (p=0.007 for patients aged 18–40 years; p<0.001 for patients aged ≥40 years). Conclusions: This comprehensive review highlights that CAH in adults is associated with a significant humanistic and economic burden.

e14061 Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third and second most common cancer in males and females, respectively, worldwide. Based on cases diagnosed in 2008, the age-adjusted incidence rate of CRC was 47.2/100,000/year in the US. Approximately 15-25% of all new cases are diagnosed with metastases and half of all cases result in metastases, representing an increased health and economic burden. The objective of this study was to gain a more in-depth understanding of the epidemiology, clinical and economic burden of second-line CRC in the US, Europe big 5, BRIC-M countries, and Japan. Methods: A Cochrane standard systematic literature review was performed using EMBASE, PubMed, NHSEED databases, and data from key congresses. Searches were conducted using specifically tailored search algorithms for years 2006-2011. Results: Of the 1,377 citations reviewed, 10 studies were identified (6 were epidemiology studies). No information on the number of patients treated for second-line mCRC was found. Estimates of median overall survival were short and varied from 7-18.7 months. New chemotherapy regimens, younger patients, and patients without KRAS mutations are associated with longer overall survival. Information on clinical burden of disease was also limited. The majority of patients presented with liver metastases (73%) and cardiovascular disease (63%). Three clinical trials evaluated quality of life (QoL) with significant heterogeneities in study design, population, treatment regimens and assessment instruments used. No statistically significant results favored targeted therapy. Only 1 study conducted in the US assessed economic burden in patients treated with either bevacizumab or cetuximab. At 6 months the total health care cost was $73,712 and $81,781 respectively, with main cost drivers being outpatient and targeted therapy costs. Conclusions: A substantial evidence gap regarding knowledge of burden of illness in second-line mCRC limits informed clinical and economic decision making. Further research is required to evaluate country-specific epidemiologic and survival data, QoL, resource utilization and cost variation associated with active treatment and end of life care.

Introduction: Though, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) impose a major burden on US healthcare system, limited data exists on the economic impact of DVT and PE on younger working population. DVT, which occurs in approximately 1 in every 1,000 adults every year, is estimated to cost between $5-8 billion annually or on average $20,000 per treated patient per year. PE occurs in 0.6 million patients annually and results in 50,000 to 200,000 deaths every year. This study examined the total burden of illness, including the direct and indirect healthcare costs to employers and employees with DVT and PE. Methods: Retrospective analyses from 2007-2010 were performed using two datasets: (1) Integrated Benefits Institute’s Health and Productivity Benchmarking Database was used for short-term disability (STD) and long term disability (LTD) claims, and (2) IMS LifeLink data was used for medical and pharmacy claims. Indirect costs analyses included costs of lost work days from STD and LTD claims and wage replacement costs. Direct costs included annual pharmacy and medical claims for newly diagnosed DVT and/or PE individuals. Total healthcare cost estimates between the two datasets were linked by derived age and gender analytic weights. Results: 5,445 (female=54%) and 6,199 (female=50%) disability claims were filed for DVT and PE, respectively. Employees with DVT lost on average 57 (SEM 4.6) STD and 440 (SEM 30.5) LTD days per disability incident. For employers, estimated lost productivity costs per DVT claim were STD=$7,414±625 and LTD= $58,181±4,332. Total annual DVT healthcare costs per employee including out of pocket costs were $2,449 + 106 with $2,160±102 for annual medical and $290 ±20 for total pharmacy costs. Employees with PE lost on average 56 (SEM 3.0) STD and 364 (SEM 26.1) LTD days per disability incident. For employers, the estimated lost productivity costs per PE claim for STD and LTD were $7,605±402 and $48,751±3,615, respectively. Total annual PE healthcare costs per employee including out of pocket costs were $5,040 + 460 with $4,851±457 for annual medical and $190 ±22 for total pharmacy costs. Hospitalizations accounted for 84% of total annual PE health costs. Conclusion: DVT and PE constitute a heavy economic and lost productivity burden for both employers and their employees. Direct and disability costs to employees are substantial. Productivity losses for employers are also significantly high. Appropriate management of DVT and PE may help improve lost days from work, reduce healthcare resource utilization, improve workforce productivity, and reduce total economic burden.

Abstract OBJECTIVES: Hematologic adverse events such as neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia are commonly experienced by cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. These cytopenias are associated with increased morbidity and mortality, high healthcare costs, and decreases in quality of life. The objective of this study was to review the economic burden of these hematologic adverse events associated with chemotherapy in cancer patients. METHODS: A systematic search of the English-language medical literature published between 1990 and 2006 was conducted. Online conference proceedings and a review of article bibliographies were included in the review. Articles selected included prospective or retrospective studies specifically designed to examine burden of illness, direct medical costs, indirect costs, or cost drivers associated with neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia in adult cancer patients treated with chemotherapy. All original costs were reported, with adjusted figures (to 2006 US dollars) presented in parentheses using the medical care component of the consumer price index from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. RESULTS: Of 160 studies initially identified, 64 met selection criteria and were reviewed in detail. The cost of neutropenia ranged from $1,893 (2006 US $2,632) per episode in the outpatient setting to $38,583 ($54,807) for a febrile neutropenia hospitalization. The cost of treating thrombocytopenia ranged from $1,037 ($1,395) to $7,550 ($9,336) per cycle or episode. Costs attributable to treating anemia ranged from $18,418 ($22,775) to $69,478 ($93,454) per year. Key cost drivers include hospitalization, drugs (e.g., granulocyte colony-stimulating factors and antibiotics), and diagnostic tests for neutropenia; hospitalization, major bleeding episodes, and platelet transfusions for thrombocytopenia; and inpatient and outpatient services, erythropoietic agents, and red blood cell transfusions for anemia. Another finding was that the costs of hematologic adverse events for patients with hematologic malignancies were up to twice that of patients with solid tumors. CONCLUSIONS: Chemotherapy-related cytopenias result in a substantial economic burden on patients, payers, caregivers, and society in general. This burden is particularly high for patients with hematologic malignancies due to the underlying malignancy. Furthermore, AEs affect the ability to deliver planned treatments, resulting in potentially suboptimal clinical outcomes. An evaluation of both clinical outcomes of chemotherapy and economic consequences as a result of chemotherapy-induced toxicities is recommended in determining optimal treatments for patients with cancer.
