Since alcoholism and alcohol abuse are the number one health problem in the United States, community-based estimates of mortality, morbidity, and economic costs associated with alcohol abuse are needed to convey their impact in local areas. In the state of New Hampshire, data were collected on alcohol consumption patterns, alcohol-associated mortality, years of potential life lost, hospital days associated with alcohol-related diagnoses, direct medical care costs, employment levels, and per capita incomes. Alcohol-attributable mortality and morbidity percentages were applied to these data to estimate the effects of alcohol abuse. In 1983, alcohol was associated with 4% of total statewide deaths. These included 37% of the deaths due to injury, 26% of the deaths due to digestive disease, and 3% of the deaths due to cancer. These deaths represented over 6,000 years of potential life lost. Between 4 and 7% of hospital days were attributable to alcohol-related diagnoses. Direct medical care costs attributable to alcohol were over $101 million; 10% of the direct medical costs in the state. Indirect costs (present value of lost earnings due to premature mortality and morbidity associated with alcohol) represented over $142 million. Property damage and insurance costs associated with alcohol were almost $13 million, and alcohol-related arrests added another $17 million. Excess absenteeism due to alcohol abuse cost another $33 million and lost productivity at work cost over $278 million. These economic costs totaled almost $600 million, or 5% of the gross state product. The methodology used to obtain these results is easily applied and is shown in the Appendix. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: We estimated the effect that a smoking cessation intervention in the Spanish population of smokers would have on smoking-related morbidity, mortality and health care costs. METHODS: We adopted the model Health and Economic Consequences of Smoking sponsored by the WHO Health Organization and developed by the The Lewin Group. The smoking cessation intervention proposed includes pharmacological treatment to 35% of smokers who are trying to quit smoking and obtains a quit rate of 7.2%. The diseases studied are: lung cancer, heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma exacerbation, and low birth weight. The smoking-related cases of disease and of averted death and the reduction in health care expenditure due to the intervention were estimated. RESULTS: Without intervention, at year 1 of the model, 2,136,094 smokers would be affected by some smoking-related disease; health care expenditure would be 4,286 million e and deaths attributable to smoking would total 26,537. The proposed intervention would prevent 2,613, 9,192, 17,415 and 23,837 cases of smoking-related disease at years 2, 5, 10 and 20 of the model, respectively. The saving in accumulated health care costs would amount to 3.5 million e at year 2 and 386 million e over 20 years. The accumulated prevented deaths are 284 at year 2 and 9,205 over 20 years. The intervention would save a total of 78,173 life-years by the end of the period considered. CONCLUSIONS: The availability of new effective smoking cessation interventions and the increase in accessibility to such interventions may contribute significantly to reducing morbidity, mortality and health care costs associated with smoking in Spain. 相似文献

Health-care-associated infection is rightly an area of increasing attention, not least because of considerable resource issues. Not all infection is preventable. However, much is possible and is indeed obligatory to avoid unnecessary infection, and attendant morbidity, mortality and, increasingly, litigation. 相似文献

The economic costs of the health effects of smoking, 1984 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
The impact of cigarette smoking on morbidity and mortality in the United States is well known. Economic consequences of these health effects--expenditures for medical care and the value of productive output lost--have been estimated in many ways. This original prevalence-based analysis of attributable risks indicates a staggering $54 billion cost to the nation. Concern over such misallocation of resources to harmful uses is demonstrably justified. 相似文献

This study involved direct observation of the differences in utilization of medical care by smokers, nonsmokers, and former smokers. A household interview survey conducted in 1970-1971 obtained detailed information about the smoking patterns of 2,582 adult members of the Northwest Kaiser Permanente health maintenance organization in metropolitan Portland, Oregon. These data were linked to computerized medical records which documented all inpatient and outpatient care for 1967-1974. Current smokers used 20% more hospital days/1,000 person-years (adjusted for age, sex, alcohol intake, duration of observation) than did never smokers. Former smokers, but not smokers, used more outpatient services than did nonsmokers. Among smokers, there was no detectable relationship between use of medical care services and number of cigarettes smoked per day. 相似文献

The costs of health damage and productivity losses attributable to cigarette smoking in Germany 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Background: Smoking causes significant health damage and mayincur a significant economic burden to society. This study investigatesthe years of potential life lost, the direct medical costs andthe Indirect costs of cigarette smoking in Germany. Methods:Using the concept of attributable risks and the prevalence-basedapproach, smoking-attributable mortality and morbidity werecalculated for 1993. Neoplasms, cardiovascular diseases, respiratorydiseases, perinatal diseases and burn deaths were considered.Attributable risks stem from the literature and were processedin an epidemiological model. Costs were estimated from a societalperspective. Direct costs were mainly calculated based on routineutilization and expenditure statistics and indirect costs werecalculated according to the human capital approach. Results:Twenty-two percent of all male and 5% of all female deaths aswell as 1.5 million years of potential life lost were attributableto smoking. The costs of acute hospital care, in-patient rehabilitationcare, ambulatory care and prescribed drugs were 9.3 billionDEM, of mortality were 8.2 billion DEM and costs due to work-lossdays and early retirement were 16.4 billion DEM (discount rate3%). The total costs added up to 33.8 billion DEM, 415 DEM perinhabitant or 1,599 DEM per current smoker. Sensitivity analysesshowed that including the productivity loss of unpaid work leadsto a strong increase of indirect costs. Conclusions: This studyprovides a conservative estimate of the costs of smoking inGermany. The magnitude is considered sufficient reason to callfor stronger support of cost-effective, smoke-cessation measuresand of anti-smoking policy. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: This study estimated future morbidity, mortality, and costs resulting from hepatitis C virus (HCV). METHODS: We used a computer cohort simulation of the natural history of HCV in the US population. RESULTS: From the year 2010 through 2019, our model projected 165,900 deaths from chronic liver disease, 27,200 deaths from hepatocellular carcinoma, and $10.7 billion in direct medical expenditures for HCV. During this period, HCV may lead to 720,700 years of decompensated cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma and to the loss of 1.83 million years of life in those younger than 65 at a societal cost of $21.3 and $54.2 billion, respectively. In sensitivity analysis, these estimates depended on (1) whether patients with HCV and normal transaminase levels develop progressive liver disease, (2) the extent of alcohol ingestion, and (3) the likelihood of dying from other causes related to the route of HCV acquisition. CONCLUSIONS: Our results confirm prior Centers for Disease Control and Prevention projections and suggest that HCV may lead to a substantial health and economic burden over the next 10 to 20 years. 相似文献

Background
Roll-your-own (RYO) cigarettes have increased in popularity, yet their comparative potential toxicity is uncertain. This study compares smoking of RYO and factory-made (FM) cigarettes on smoking pattern and immediate potential toxicity. 相似文献14.
The results of a study that estimated the expected lifetime economic consequences of cigarette smoking for individual smokers are reported herein. The estimates were obtained by combining age- and sex-specific estimates of the incidence-based costs of three smoking-related diseases (lung cancer, coronary heart disease, and emphysema) with estimates of smokers' increased likelihood of developing these illnesses in each remaining year of life relative to nonsmokers. Estimates of the economic consequences of quitting based on these disease cost estimates and on estimates of exsmokers' probability of future disease relative to continuing smokers are also reported. Both the estimates of the economic costs of smoking and the benefits of quitting were calculated separately for men and women between the ages of 35 and 79 who were light, moderate, or heavy cigarette smokers. While the economic costs of smoking varied considerably by sex, age, and amount smoked, they were significant for all groups of smokers. Costs for a 40-year-old man, for example, ranged from $20,000 for a smoker of less than one pack of cigarettes per day to over $56,000 for a smoker of more than two packs of cigarettes per day. The economic benefits of quitting also were found to be sizable for all groups of smokers. 相似文献

Reductions in cigarette smoking and acute myocardial infarction mortality in Jefferson County, Texas
McAlister AL Huang P Ramirez AG Harrist RB Fonseca VP 《American journal of public health》2010,100(12):2391-2392
After litigation against the tobacco industry ended in a settlement, the Texas legislature funded pilot projects to reduce tobacco use in selected areas of the state. Subsequent telephone surveys showed that well-funded activities were successful in reducing population rates of self-reported cigarette smoking. We present evidence that the reduction in smoking promptly led to lower rates of death from acute myocardial infarctions. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the joint effect of cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption on mortality. METHODS: A population-based cohort of 66,743 Chinese men aged 30-89 in Shanghai, China recruited from 1996 to 2000. Lifestyle data were collected using structured questionnaires. As of November 2004, follow-up for the vital status of 64,515 men was completed and death information was further confirmed through record linkage with the Shanghai Vital Statistics Registry. Associations were evaluated by Cox regression analyses. RESULTS: 2514 deaths (982 from cancers, 776 from cardiovascular diseases (CVD)) were identified during 297,396 person-years of follow-up. Compared to never-smokers, both former and current smokers had significantly elevated mortality from any cause, CVD, and cancer; risk increased with amount of smoking. Intake of 1-7 drinks/week was associated with reduced risk of death, particularly CVD death (hazard ratio (HR): 0.7, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.5, 1.0), whereas intake of >42 drinks/week was related to increased mortality, particularly cancer-related death (HR: 1.7, 95% CI: 1.1, 2.5). The HR for total mortality associated with moderate alcohol consumption increased from 0.8 (95% CI: 0.6, 1.0) for non-smokers to 1.0 (0.9, 1.2) for moderate smokers and 1.4 (95% CI: 1.2, 1.7) for heavy smokers. Heavy drinkers and heavy smokers had the highest mortality (HR: 1.9, 95% CI: 1.6, 2.4). CONCLUSIONS: Light and moderate alcohol consumption reduced mortality from CVD. This beneficial effect, however, was offset by cigarette smoking. 相似文献

Epidemiology of salmonellosis in California, 1990-1999: morbidity,mortality, and hospitalization costs 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Salmonella is a common cause of bacterial foodborne illness in the United States. The epidemiology and costs of nontyphoidal salmonellosis in California from 1990 through 1999 are described using surveillance, hospitalization, and death data. Trends in Salmonella rates and factors associated with prolonged hospitalization were evaluated using Poisson and linear regression models, respectively. There were 56,660 reported cases, 11,102 hospitalizations, and 74 deaths attributed to Samonella. Reported case and hospital discharge rates have decreased since 1996. Among reported cases, infants had the highest rate (121 cases per 10(5) person-years), followed by children 1-4 years of age (40 cases per 10(5) person-years). The highest hospitalization rates were among the elderly and young children. Most deaths occurred among persons aged 65 or more years (59%). Among hospitalizations, gastroenteritis (61%) and septicemia (23%) were the most common Salmonella diagnoses. Salmonella pneumonia patients were the oldest (median age, 55 years) and Salmonella meningitis patients the youngest (median age, 0.3 years). These two diagnoses were the costliest, approaching 30,000 dollars (median) per hospitalization. Having an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome diagnosis or multiple Salmonella diagnoses was independently associated with prolonged hospitalization. The estimated 10-year hospitalization costs for Salmonella were $200 million. Salmonellosis is a costly disease that disproportionately affects the young and elderly. 相似文献

We estimated the mortality from various diseases caused by cigarette smoking using two methods and compared the results. In one method, the "Prevent" model is used to simulate the effect on mortality of the prevalence of cigarette smoking derived retrospectively. The other method, suggested by R. Peto et al (Lancet 1992;339:1268-1278), requires data on mortality from lung cancer among people who have never smoked and among smokers, but it does not require data on the prevalence of smoking. In the Prevent model, 33% of deaths among men and 23% of those among women in 1993 from lung cancer, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, ischemic heart disease, and stroke were caused by cigarette smoking. In the method proposed by Peto et al, 35% of deaths among men and 25% of deaths among women from these causes were estimated to be attributable to cigarette smoking. The differences between the two methods are small and appear to be explicable. The Prevent model can be used for more general scenarios of effective health promotion, but it requires more data than the Peto et al method, which can be used only to estimate mortality related to smoking. 相似文献

Cigarette consumption has increased steadily throughout this century in Italy. There were marked increases in three periods: in the 1920s, in the 1950s possibly due to the spread of smoking among young men, and in the 1970s in part due to smoking among women. The average number of cigarettes per adult per day sold legally in 1980 was 6.9 but, taking smuggling into account, the actual average number of cigarettes smoked per day is likely to range between eight and nine. Data from a national sample-based survey conducted in 1980 showed that smoking prevalence in men was broadly similar within age groups, geographical area, education, and socioeconomic groups. Smoking in women, on the other hand, was concentrated in younger and more educated women living in larger towns and in richer areas of the country. This pattern is typical of a recent rapid spread of smoking among women. The average tar yield of Italian cigarettes in 1983-4 was about 17 mg. Tar yield was strongly and negatively correlated with price (r = -0.55). This abnormality should be urgently reversed by government intervention. No material increase in lung cancer mortality in young women was evident up to the lat 1970s. Lung cancer death rates in men correlated closely with the observed changes in cigarette consumption. The highest mortality rates (about 7, 20, and 50/100 000 respectively in the age groups 35-39, 40-44, and 45-49) were reached by the generation born around 1927-30, and the rates have remained fairly constant around these maximum levels for those born up to 1940. As a consequence, Italian lung cancer death rates in middle-aged men (45 to 54) are currently the highest registered in developed countries, and large upward trends are currently detectable in older men. 相似文献
