Identifier : AIDSLINE ICA10/94370740
AB OBJECTIVES: To review the annual health costs of treatment and care for
patients with AIDS or patients with severe HIV disease (defined as HIV
infected patients with CD4 count below 200 but no AIDS diagnosis). These
average annual costs were compared with estimates from 1991 and changes
in pattern of resource use assessed. RESULTS: Data will be presented to
show trends in health expenditure on treatment and care set against
trends in prevalent AIDS cases in England. Average annual cost per
patient for AIDS and HIV severe disease will be presented as a range.
Costs will be categorised as in-patient care, day patient care,
out-patient care, drugs and home support. The pattern of resource use
will be compared with the estimates for treatment and care expenditure
in 1990/91. The potential impact of prevention activities will be
discussed. Data will be presented comparing projected life years lost
before the age of 65 from AIDS with other major causes of death.
Estimated treatment and care costs will be combined with published
studies of disease progression to estimate lifetime treatment and care
costs of an HIV infected patient.
