abstract: 'Objective. With increasing interest in revising the mechanisms of health
|
||||
|
||||
care funding, the ability to anticipate patients'' medical expenditures
|
||||
|
||||
as well as to identify potentially modifiable predictors would be
|
||||
|
||||
informative for health care providers, payers, and policy makers.
|
||||
|
||||
Methods. Eight hundred fifty-eight patients with rheumatoid arthritis
|
||||
|
||||
from 2 Canadian centers reported semi-annually on their health services
|
||||
|
||||
utilization and health status for up to 12 years. Annual direct costs
|
||||
|
||||
were calculated using 1993 Canadian prices. Regression models for the
|
||||
|
||||
variation in total direct costs and the individual resource components
|
||||
|
||||
(i.e., physicians, tests, medications, acute and non-acute hospital
|
||||
|
||||
care) were estimated using previous values of age, sex, disease
|
||||
|
||||
duration, education, methotrexate availability, employment status,
|
||||
|
||||
global well being, pain, duration of morning stiffness, and functional
|
||||
|
||||
disability as predictor variables. The models were developed using all
|
||||
|
||||
available data except the last 2 observations (i.e., data collected on
|
||||
|
||||
the last 2 self-report questionnaires) from each patient, which were
|
||||
|
||||
reserved for model validation. The predictive abilities of the models
|
||||
|
||||
were assessed by comparing the most recent costs with those predicted by
|
||||
|
||||
the model using values of the predictor variables from the previous time
|
||||
|
||||
period. Further, to assess whether the models conferred any advantage
|
||||
|
||||
over cost estimates based only on previous costs, most recent observed
|
||||
|
||||
costs were also compared with costs observed in the preceding time
|
||||
|
||||
period.
|
||||
|
||||
Results. Self-reported indices of either global well being, pain, or
|
||||
|
||||
functional disability predicted total direct costs as well as the costs
|
||||
|
||||
of the 5 individual resource components. Being younger, female, disabled
|
||||
|
||||
from the work force, having shorter disease duration, and receiving more
|
||||
|
||||
formal education also predicted higher costs in at least on health
|
||||
|
||||
resource category. However, being older predicted higher acute and
|
||||
|
||||
non-acute care hospital costs. Regression models incorporating
|
||||
|
||||
longitudinal data did not perform better than average costs in the
|
||||
|
||||
preceding rime period in predicting future short term costs.
|
||||
|
||||
Conclusion. Global well being, pain, functional disability, and previous
|
||||
|
||||
costs are the most important predictors of short term direct medical
|
||||
|
||||
costs. Although we have demonstrated that regression models do not
|
||||
|
||||
perform better than previous costs in predicting future short term
|
||||
|
||||
costs, previous costs are a much less informative predictor than health
|
||||
|
||||
status variables. Variables such as functional disability and pain
|
||||
|
||||
identify potentially modifiable disease features and suggest
|
||||
|
||||
interventions that may improve patient well being and reduce costs.'
