过敏性鼻炎的经济影响和生活质量负担

摘要(中文译文)

变应性鼻炎可能是一种使人衰弱的疾病，若不加以治疗，可导致相当大的健康相关和经济后果。本文对已发表的文献进行了综述，并酌情进行定量/定性分析，以探讨变应性鼻炎的直接、间接和隐性成本，以及该疾病给患者和医疗系统带来的生活质量负担。变应性鼻炎中缺乏治疗、治疗不足或不依从治疗均会增加直接和间接成本，这进一步强调了患者教育的必要性，以及医生实施现有循证预防和治疗指南的必要性。结论认为，提高对变应性鼻炎总体经济负担的认识应能促进适当的干预，并最终确保临床有利且具有成本效益的结局。

Abstract

Allergic rhinitis can be a debilitating condition which, if untreated, can result in considerable health-related and economic consequences. A review of the published literature was conducted, with quantitative/qualitative analysis as appropriate, to explore the direct, indirect, and hidden costs of allergic rhinitis, as well as the quality-of-life burdens that the disease presents to patients and to the healthcare system. Lack of treatment, undertreatment, or nonadherence to treatment in allergic rhinitis were seen to increase direct and indirect costs, reinforcing the need for patient education and for physicians to implement existing evidence-based guidelines for prevention and treatment. It was concluded that greater awareness of the total economic burden of allergic rhinitis should encourage appropriate intervention and ultimately ensure clinically favorable and cost-effective outcomes.
