| Popis: | Background Despite the socioeconomic importance of allergic rhinitis (AR), very few prospective studies have been performed under conditions of routine clinical practice and with a sufficiently long observation period outside the clinical trial scenario. We prospectively estimated the direct and indirect costs of AR in patients attending specialized clinics in Spain. Methods Patients were recruited at random from allergy outpatient clinics in 101 health centers throughout Spain over 12 months. We performed a multicenter, observational, prospective study under conditions of routine clinical practice. We analyzed direct costs from a funder perspective (health care costs) and from a societal perspective (health care and non–health care costs). Indirect costs (absenteeism and presenteeism [productivity lost in the workplace]) were also calculated. The cost of treating conjunctivitis was evaluated alongside that of AR. Results The total mean cost of AR per patient-year (n=498) was €2,326.70 (direct, €553.80; indirect, €1,772.90). Direct costs were significantly higher in women (€600.34 vs. €484.46, P=0.02). Total costs for intermittent AR were significantly lower than for persistent AR (€1,484.98 vs €2,655.86, P |
