Abstract:   (3558 Views)
Background and Objectives: In Iran, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality. The economic burden of these diseases imposed on families makes the situation even worse. Health system policymakers need to be aware of the costs of these diseases to make wise decisions regarding the allocation of resources. The present study aimed to estimate the economic burden of cardiovascular disease in selected hospitals in Yazd.
 
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted based on a descriptive-analytical design. The economic burden of cardiovascular disease was estimated using the cost-of-illness method and based on the human capital method. Based on the content and purpose of the current study, the prevalence-based approach was used. A researcher-made questionnaire was used for data collection. The statistical population included patients with cardiovascular disease who referred to the hospitals under study in Yazd. They were selected by random sampling (n=200). The data were analyzed in SPSS and EXCEL software.
 
Results: 41.5% of patients were male and 58.5% were female. The total direct medical cost was 2,6184,130 Rials and the total non-medical direct medical cost was 11,521,250 Rials for each patient. The economic burden of cardiovascular disease was 16,721,997,317,485 Rials  at a discount rate of 3% ,and a discount rate of 5%, it was reported as 11,819,209,806,581 Rials.
 
Conclusion: Cardiovascular diseases impose a huge cost on society. The best way to manage these diseases and reduce costs is to change and modify risky behaviors that make the patient invulnerable.
