- Abstract
• Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder is a chronic disease that represents a significant economic burden for patients, caregivers, the healthcare system, and society. • Direct and indirect costs of the disease were calculated, being the first estimate of this type, and serving as a reference for analyzing the disease situation in Colombia. • Under the considerations of the analysis, the cost of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder from a societal perspective in Colombia is USD$ 8722,829.99. To assess the economic burden of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) in the Colombian context. Analyses were conducted from a societal perspective using the prevalence-based approach. Costs were expressed in 2022 US dollars (1 USD = $3,914.46 COP). Direct medical costs were assessed from a bottom-up approach. Indirect costs included loss of productivity of the patient and their caregivers. The economic burden of NMOSD in Colombia was estimated as the sum of direct and indirect costs. The direct cost of treating a patient with NMOSD was USD$ 8,149.74 per year. When projecting costs nationwide, NMOSD would cost USD$ 7.2 million per year. Of these costs, 53.5% would be attributed to relapses and 34.4% to pharmacological therapy. Indirect costs potentially attributed to NMOSD in Colombia were estimated at USD$ 1.5 million per year per cohort. Of these, 78% are attributable to loss of patient productivity, mainly due to reduced access to the labor market and premature mortality. The NMOSD has a representative economic burden at the patient level, with direct costs, particularly related to relapses and medicines, being the main component of total costs. These findings are useful evidence that requires attention from public policymakers in Colombia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Resumen Introducción: La hospitalización de pacientes durante la pandemia de COVID-19 se incrementó de manera importante, y evidenció las carencias de los sistemas de salud, que no respondieron de forma adecuada y eficiente. Objetivo: Determinar la evolución de pacientes hospitalizados durante la pandemia de COVID-19 en Perú. Métodos: Investigación descriptiva, transversal, retrospectiva. Efectuada con una data de 115 306 pacientes, a quienes se valoró su última evolución, el ingreso a Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos, si recibieron oxígeno o ventilación, fallecidos por COVID-19 y vacunación contra esta enfermedad, según los datos de la plataforma nacional de datos abiertos del Ministerio de Salud del Perú. Para analizar los datos se usaron frecuencias absolutas y relativas y para la asociación comparativa de variables, el chi cuadrado de homogeneidad con una significancia estadística de p < 0,01. Resultados: De los pacientes que ingresaron a Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos, que recibieron oxígeno y ventilación, el 51,1 %, 59,1 % y 44,9 %, respectivamente, fueron dados de alta. Del 28,3 % de pacientes que fallecieron, el 90,2 % fue por COVID-19. La mayor proporción fueron adultos (51,1 %) y adultos mayores (31,2 %), de los cuales el 36,3 % y 62,4 % fallecieron por COVID-19. De los fallecidos por COVID-19, el 96,9 % no tenía ninguna dosis de vacuna contra la enfermedad. Conclusión: Más de la mitad de los pacientes que ingresaron a Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos y recibieron oxígeno fueron dados de alta, la mayoría de los fallecidos por COVID-19 fueron adultos, adultos mayores y no vacunados. Las diferencias entre todos los pares de variables comparadas fueron altamente significativas (p < 0,001). Abstract Introduction: The hospitalization of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic increased significantly, and evidenced the shortcomings of the health systems, which did not respond adequately and efficiently. Objective: To determine the evolution of hospitalized patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in Peru. Methods: Descriptive, cross sectional, retrospective research. Done with a data of 115,306 patients, who were assessed their latest evolution, admission to the Intensive Care Unit, if they received oxygen or ventilation, died from COVID-19 and vaccination against this disease, according to data from the national data platform open from the Ministry of Health of Peru. To analyze the data, absolute and relative frequencies were used and for the comparative association of variables, the chi-square of homogeneity with a statistical significance of p

Resumen Objetivo: Describir los años potenciales de vida perdidos (APVP) y la distribución espacial de la mortalidad por incidente vial en peatones de Medellín durante el período 2015-2020. Métodos: Se realizó estudio descriptivo con fuente de información secundaria, se analizaron la totalidad de registros de peatones muertos en incidente vial. El cálculo de los APVP fue realizado por grupos quinquenales y eligiendo como edad límite la esperanza de vida al nacer de Colombia, estimada por el DANE para el período 2015-2020. Para conocer la distribución geográfica de las muertes se creó mapa de puntos y densidad de Kernel con clasificación estándar-cuantil. El análisis de proximidad se realizó por el método búfer de anillos múltiples, con distancias de 100, 200 y 300 metros. Resultados: En Medellín, durante los años 2015-2020, se registraron 696 muertes de peatones, 514(73,9%) hombres y 182 (26,1%) mujeres. Las comunas de mayor mortalidad fueron Candelaria con 217(31,2%) muertes y Castilla con 61(8,8%). Las lesiones más frecuentes fueron politraumatismos 401 (57,6%) y lesiones en cabeza 231 (33,2%). En total los peatones de la ciudad perdieron 14.553 APVP por incidente vial. Del total de incidentes fatales en peatones, 400 (57,5%) ocurrieron en un radio de distancia de 300 metros de un puente peatonal. Conclusión: Peatones hombres presentaron las tasas de APVP más altas del período, y son quienes más mueren en la vía. Lesiones en cabeza y cráneo son las más fatales, especialmente si son adultos mayores quienes las sufren. La pérdida de fuerza laboral y económica es alta para la ciudad, pero la social y familiar es incalculable. Abstract Objective: To describe the Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL), and the spatial distributions of mortality caused by road accidents in Medellin pedestrians between the periods of 2015-2020. Methods: A descriptive study with a secondary source of information was carried out, and all the records of pedestrians killed in road accidents were analyzed. The calculation of the YPLL was carried out by five-year age groups and the Life Expectancy at Birth of Colombia as the age limit estimated by DANE for the period 2015-2020 was chosen. To know the geographical distribution of the deaths, point maps, and kernel density estimation with a standard quantile classification were created. The proximity analysis was performed by the multiple ring buffer method, with distances of 100, 200 and 300 meters. Results: During the years 2015-2020, 696 pedestrian deaths were registered in Medellin, from which 514 (73.9%) were men and 182 (26.1%) were women. The neighborhoods with the highest mortality were Candelaria with a percentage of 31.2% (217 deaths), and Castilla with a percentage of 8.8% (61 deaths). The most frequent injuries were polytrauma with a total of 401 cases (57.6%), and head injuries in 231 cases (33.2%). In total, the city's pedestrians lost 14,553 YPLL due to road accidents. From the total number of fatal pedestrian accidents, 400 (57.5%) of them occurred within a 300-meter radius of a pedestrian bridge. Conclusion: Male pedestrians had the highest YPLL rates of the period, and they are the ones who die the most on the road. Head and skull injuries are the most fatal, especially if they are suffered by older adults. The loss of labor and economic power is high for the city, but the social and family loss is incalculable.
