RESUMO
Despite being the most cost-effective tobacco control policy, tobacco taxation is the least implemented component of the World Health Organization MPOWER package to reduce smoking worldwide. In Mexico, both smoking prevalence and taxation have remained stable for more than a decade. This study aims to provide evidence about the potential effects of taxation to reduce the burden of tobacco-related diseases and the main attributable social costs in Mexico, including informal (unpaid) care costs, which are frequently ignored. We employ a first-order Monte Carlo microsimulation model that follows hypothetical population cohorts considering the risks of an adverse health event and death. First, we estimate tobacco-attributable morbidity and mortality, direct medical costs and indirect costs, such as labour productivity losses and informal care costs. Then, we assess the potential effects of a 50% cigarette price increase through taxation and two alternative scenarios of 25% and 75%. The inputs come from several sources, including national surveys and vital statistics. Each year, 63 000 premature deaths and 427 000 disease events are attributable to tobacco in Mexico, while social costs amount to MX$194.6 billion (US$8.5)-MX$116.2 (US$5.1) direct medical costs and MX$78.5 (US$3.4) indirect costs-representing 0.8% of gross domestic product. Current tobacco tax revenue barely covers 23.3% of these costs. Increasing cigarette prices through taxation by 50% could reduce premature deaths by 49 000 over the next decade, while direct and indirect costs averted would amount to MX$87.9 billion (US$3.8) and MX$67.6 billion (US$2.9), respectively. The benefits would far outweigh any potential loss even in a pessimistic scenario of increased illicit trade. Tobacco use imposes high social costs on the Mexican population, but tobacco taxation is a win-win policy for both gaining population health and reducing tobacco societal costs.

A global rise in the prevalence of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) has led to a considerable and increasing burden to health systems, patients, and society. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are proven to reduce incidence of cardio-renal outcomes, including onset of ESKD. Recent post hoc analyses of SGLT2 inhibitor trials extrapolate substantial delays in the average time to ESKD over a patient's lifetime. In this article, we explore the possible real-world effects of such a delay by considering the available evidence reporting outcomes following onset of ESKD. From the patient perspective, a delay in reaching ESKD could substantially improve health-related quality of life and result in additional life years without the need for kidney replacement therapies, a target relevant to all CKD subpopulations. Furthermore, should a patient initiate dialysis at an older age as a result of CKD progression, the time spent in receipt of dialysis, and therefore associated healthcare costs, may also be reduced. A delay in progression may also lead to changes in the management of ESKD, such as increased election of conservative care in preference to dialysis, particularly in elderly populations. For younger patients with CKD, those who reach ESKD while employed face considerable work impairment and productivity loss, as may families and care partners of working age. Therefore, a delay to the onset of ESKD will reduce the proportion of their working lives affected by productivity losses or unemployment due to medical reasons. In conclusion, optimised treatment of CKD may lead to a shift in treatment options, but proper and timely implementation is essential for the realisation of improved outcomes.

PURPOSE: Menstrual characteristics can affect a woman's productivity at work and college, but studies in a general population of adult women are scarce. In addition, it is important to know which menstrual symptoms are most associated with presenteeism in women to promote specific health actions. The present study aimed to assess menstrual symptoms associated with presenteeism in adult women. METHODS: Online cross-sectional study in which menstrual characteristics, including menstrual flow, age of menarche, menstrual pain and cycle duration were assessed by a self-report questionnaire. The menstrual pain intensity was assessed by Numerical Rating Scale, and the presenteeism, by the Stanford Presenteeism Scale-6 (SPS-6). Women were divided in two groups, with and without presenteeism, based on the SPS-6 cutoff point. Data were analyzed by binary logistic regression and presented as odds ratios (OR). RESULTS: Among the 430 women who participated in the study, 44.2% were classified as with presenteeism. Women with severe menstrual flow were more likely to have presenteeism (OR = 2.12) compared with women with mild and moderate menstrual flow. The higher menstrual pain intensity the higher the chances of a woman presenting with presenteeism (OR = 1.29). CONCLUSIONS: These menstrual characteristics (intensity of menstrual flow and menstrual pain) seem to affect women's productivity at work and/or college, and should be assessed in research and clinical practice. Thus, public policies on women's health can be carried out based on these results.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the economic burden of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) in the Colombian context. METHODS: Analyses were conducted from a societal perspective using the prevalence-based approach. Costs were expressed in 2022 US dollars (1 USD = $3,914.46 COP). Direct medical costs were assessed from a bottom-up approach. Indirect costs included loss of productivity of the patient and their caregivers. The economic burden of NMOSD in Colombia was estimated as the sum of direct and indirect costs. RESULTS: The direct cost of treating a patient with NMOSD was USD$ 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. CONCLUSIONS: 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.

Tobacco tax increases, the most cost-effective measure in reducing consumption, remain underutilized in low and middle-income countries. This study estimates the health and economic burden of smoking in Argentina and forecasts the benefits of tobacco tax hikes, accounting for the potential effects of illicit trade. Using a probabilistic Markov microsimulation model, this study quantifies smoking-related deaths, health events, and societal costs. The model also estimates the health and economic benefits of different increases in the price of cigarettes through taxes. Annually, smoking causes 45,000 deaths and 221,000 health events in Argentina, costing USD 2782 million in direct medical expenses, USD 1470 million in labor productivity loss costs, and USD 1069 million in informal care costs-totaling 1.2% of the national gross domestic product. Even in a scenario that considers illicit trade of tobacco products, a 50% cigarette price increase through taxes could yield USD 8292 million in total economic benefits accumulated over a decade. Consequently, raising tobacco taxes could significantly reduce the health and economic burdens of smoking in Argentina while increasing fiscal revenue.

BACKGROUND: About half of cancer deaths in Brazil occur among individuals of working-age (under 65 years for men, under 60 for women), resulting in a substantial economic impact for the country. We aimed to estimate the years of potential productive life lost (YPPLL) and value the productivity lost due to premature deaths from cancer between 2001 and 2015 and the projected to 2030. METHODS: We used the Human Capital Approach to estimate the productivity losses corresponding to YPPLL for cancer deaths in working age people (15-64 years). Mortality data were obtained from the Mortality Information System from 2001 to 2015 and projected between 2016 and 2030. Economic data were obtained from the Continuous National Household Sample Survey and forecasted to 2030. Productivity lost was calculated as the monetary value arising from YPPLL in Int$(2016). RESULTS: Between 2001 and 2030, a total of 2.3 million premature deaths from all cancers combined were observed and forecasted in Brazil (57% men, 43% women), corresponding to 32 million YPPLL and Int$141.3 billion in productivity losses (men: Int$102.5 billion, women: Int$38.8 billion). Between 2001 and 2030, among men, lung (Int$ 12.6 billion), stomach (Int$ 10.6 billion) and colorectal (Int$ 9.4 billion) cancers were expected to contribute to the greatest productivity losses; and among women, it will be for breast (Int$ 10.0 billion), cervical (Int$ 6.4 billion) and colorectal (Int$ 3.2 billion) cancers. CONCLUSIONS: Many preventable cancers result in high lost productivity, suggesting measure to reduce smoking prevalence, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity and inadequate diet, improving screening programs and increasing vaccination coverage for human papillomavirus and hepatitis B would have a positive impact on the economy, as well as reducing morbidity and mortality from cancer.

The burdens associated with acute gastroenteritis involve billions of dollars in expenses, coupled with significant morbidity and mortality globally. To reduce these burdens, health officials and policymakers require up-to-date data (health and economic) to request and allocate resources in guiding the development and implementation of preventative strategies. In 2021, the estimate for one case of acute gastroenteritis was calculated using multiple sources of data: the 2009 national health burden survey on acute gastroenteritis; a 2021 telephone survey of five major private hospitals; a 2021 telephone survey of 30 private pharmacies; and the 2021 Minimum Wages Act of Trinidad and Tobago. For each case of illness, an average cost of $1614 TTD ($238 USD) was estimated. For residents who sought private health care, the average GP visit cost was $500-$700 TTD ($73-$103 USD), while costs for medication prescribed ranged between $327 and $1166 TTD ($48-$172 USD). Productivity losses amounted to almost $21.7 million TTD ($3.2 million USD) for residents who took time off from work or required caregiving services. The overall annual cost was estimated to be $204 million TTD ($30.1 million USD) and, therefore, warrants measures by health officials to reduce the economic and social burdens of acute gastroenteritis in Trinidad and Tobago.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Crohn's disease (CD) can lead to work disability with social and economic impacts worldwide. In Brazil, where its prevalence is increasing, we assessed the indirect costs, prevalence, and risk factors for work disability in the state of Rio de Janeiro and in a tertiary care referral center of the state. METHODS: Data were retrieved from the database of the Single System of Social Security Benefits Information, with a cross-check for aid pension and disability retirement. A subanalysis was performed with CD patients followed up at the tertiary care referral center using a prospective CD database, including clinical variables assessed as possible risk factors for work disability. RESULTS: From 2010 to 2018, the estimated prevalence of CD was 26.05 per 100,000 inhabitants, while the associated work disability was 16.6%, with indirect costs of US$ 8,562,195.86. Permanent disability occurred more frequently in those aged 40 to 49 years. In the referral center, the prevalence of work disability was 16.7%, with a mean interval of 3 years between diagnosis and the first benefit. Risk factors for absence from work were predominantly abdominal surgery, anovaginal fistulas, disease duration, and the A2 profile of the Montreal classification. CONCLUSIONS: In Rio de Janeiro, work disability affects one-sixth of CD patients, and risk factors are associated with disease duration and complications. In the context of increasing prevalence, as this disability compromises young patients after a relatively short period of disease, the socioeconomic burden of CD is expected to increase in the future.

Presenteeism is the term used to describe going in to work even with a health problem. The phenomenon has been identified as one prior factor in sickness absence and, accordingly, the better it is understood, the better will be the prevention strategies. This study aimed to examine the mediating role of presenteeism (the ability to concentrate on work and to complete work despite a health problem) in the association between psychosocial factors at work and common mental disorders (CMD). This cross-sectional study included 1218 nursing personnel at a public hospital in Brazil. Structural equation modelling was performed. The sample comprised mostly women (85.4%), and the mean age was 44.1 (SD = 11.3; range: 24-70) years. Prevalence of presenteeism was 32.8%. Among presenteeist workers (n = 400), a relationship was observed between presenteeism and higher CMD scores. Furthermore, being able to concentrate on work even with a health problem mediated the relationship between social support and CMD and between psychological demands and CMD. Working when sick impairs both the work and the worker's health. Interventions designed to improve working conditions and interpersonal relations can be effective strategies against presenteeism.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the poorly understood burden of pulmonary exacerbations experienced by primary caregivers of children (aged 2-17 years) with cystic fibrosis (CF), who frequently require prolonged hospitalizations for treatment of pulmonary exacerbations with intravenous (IV) antibiotics. STUDY DESIGN: In this prospective observational study, 88 caregivers in Germany, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the US completed a survey during pulmonary exacerbation-related hospitalizations (T1) and after return to a "well state" of health (T2). The impact of pulmonary exacerbations on caregiver-reported productivity, mental/physical health, and social/family/emotional functioning was quantified. RESULTS: Primary caregivers of children with CF reported significantly increased burden during pulmonary exacerbations, as measured by the 12-item Short-Form Health Survey mental health component and the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment: Specific Health Problem absenteeism, presenteeism, work productivity loss, and activity impairment component scores. Compared to the "well state," during pulmonary exacerbations-related hospitalization caregivers reported lower physical health scores on the Child Health Questionnaire-Parent Form 28. Quality-of-life scores on the Caregiver Quality of Life Cystic Fibrosis scale and total support score on the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support did not differ significantly between T1 and T2. More caregivers reported a negative impact on family/social/emotional functioning during pulmonary exacerbations than during the "well state." CONCLUSIONS: Pulmonary exacerbations necessitating hospitalization impose a significant burden on primary caregivers of children with CF. Preventing pulmonary exacerbations may substantially reduce this burden.

The objective of the study was to estimate the productivity loss by premature death, absenteeism and presenteeism attributable to sugar sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption in Mexico in 2014. We used population attributable fractions due to SSBs for diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancers. We gathered information from a variety of publicly available sources: mortality data from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography; hospital discharges and outpatient visits from the Health Ministry; and productivity (measured in wages earned) from the National Occupation and Employment Survey. We estimated a total productivity loss of 1426.6 million USD attributable to SSB consumption. 56.9% of the attributable productivity loss was due to premature mortality and 41.1% was reduced productivity through presenteeism. Diabetes was the main cause of productivity loss (92.1% of premature death-related productivity loss and 99.8% from presenteeism). SSB consumption leads to a considerable loss of productivity in Mexico. Findings emphasize the need to strengthen fiscal policies to reduce or eliminate these indirect costs associated with SSB consumption.

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) might have economic and social impacts in Brazil, where its prevalence has increased recently. This study aimed to assess disability due to IBD in the Brazilian population and demographic factors potentially associated with absence from work. METHODS: Analysis was performed using the computerized Single System of Social Security Benefits Information, with a cross-check for aid pension and disability retirement, for Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Additional data were obtained from the platform, including the average values, benefit duration, age, gender and region of the country. RESULTS: Temporary disability occurred more frequently with UC, whereas permanent disability was more frequent with CD. Temporary disability affected more younger patients with CD than patients with UC. Temporary work absences due to UC and CD were greater in the South, and the lowest absence rates due to CD were noted in the North and Northeast. Absence from work was longer (extending for nearly a year) in patients with CD compared to those with UC. The rates of temporary and permanent disability were greater among women. Permanent disability rates were higher in the South (UC) and Southeast (CD). The value of benefits paid for IBD represented approximately 1% of all social security benefits. The benefits paid for CD were higher than for UC, whereas both tended to decrease from 2010 to 2014. CONCLUSIONS: In Brazil, IBD frequently causes disability for prolonged periods and contributes to early retirement. Reduction trends may reflect improvements in access to health care and medication. Vocational rehabilitation programs may positively impact social security and the patients' quality of life.

AIMS: To determine the economic costs and the burden of dengue disease in Cavite Province, one of the areas highly inflicted by dengue disease in the Philippines. METHODS: This study used Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) to calculate burden of dengue disease and quantified direct and indirect costs due to hospitalization and ambulatory dengue cases. DALYs were estimated using methods developed by the World Health Organization and the World Bank. We specifically calculated Years of Life Lost from 2009 to 2014 using patient-level data from hospitals and derived Years Lived with Disability from hospital records of dengue specific type (dengue fever/dengue hemorrhagic fever) in Cavite Province. RESULTS: An annual cost of Philippine Peso (PHP) 99,147,173 which is equivalent to United States Dollar (USD) 2,300,000 was obtained. The average annual cost per dengue case was PHP 32,324 (USD 734). The 21-25 age sub-groups had the highest average annual direct cost which amounted to PHP 243,181 (USD 5,526), followed by the 45-54 age sub-groups which amounted to PHP 201,481 (USD 4,579). From 2009 to 2014, the annual burden of disease was estimated at 178,282 DALYs (equivalent to one DALY lost per 17 persons in Cavite Province). CONCLUSIONS: The estimates of costs and DALYs suggested substantial dengue disease burden and economic costs in Cavite Province, Philippines.
OBJETIVOS: Determinar os custos econômicos e o impacto da dengue na Província de Cavite, uma das áreas altamente infligidas por dengue nas Filipinas. MÉTODOS: Este estudo utilizou os anos de vida ajustados por incapacidade (Disability Adjusted Life Years - DALYs) para calcular o impacto da dengue e quantificar os custos diretos e indiretos devidos aos casos de dengue atendidos em hospital ou em ambulatório. Os DALYs foram estimados usando métodos desenvolvidos pela Organização Mundial de Saúde e pelo Banco Mundial. Calculamos especificamente os anos de vida perdidos entre 2009-2014, usando dados dos pacientes hospitalizados. Os anos vividos com incapacidade foram derivados de registros hospitalares sobre o tipo específico da dengue (dengue clássica / dengue hemorrágica) na Província de Cavite. RESULTADOS: Foi identificado um custo anual de 99.147.173 pesos das Filipinas (PHP), equivalentes a 2.300.000 dólares dos Estados Unidos (USD). O custo médio anual por caso de dengue foi 32.324 PHP (734 USD). O subgrupo etário 21-25 anos teve o maior custo direto anual, que atingiu 243.181 PHP (5.526 USD), seguido pelo subgrupo 45-54 anos, que atingiu 201.481 PHP (4.579 USD). De 2009 a 2014, o impacto anual da doença foi estimado em 178,282 DALYs (equivalentes a um DALY pedido por cada 17 pessoas na Província de Cavite). CONCLUSÕES: As estimativas de custos e os DALYs sugerem um alto impacto e substanciais custos econômicos da dengue na Província de Cavite, Filipinas.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the medical costs and productivity costs of voice symptoms among teachers and to assess the contribution of the characteristics of voice symptoms, sociodemographic characteristics, health conditions, and work-related factors to these costs. STUDY DESIGN: This is a cross-sectional study. METHODS: In 2012, we conducted a longitudinal study in 12 public schools in Bogotá D.C., Colombia. This study is focused on cross-sectional results obtained in the first stage of the data collection process. Participants filled out a questionnaire on sociodemographics, voice symptoms, work-related conditions, use of health care, productivity loss at work, and sickness absence. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to explore associations among health care use, voice-related absenteeism and productivity loss with duration and severity of voice symptoms, sociodemographic characteristics, health conditions, and work-related factors. RESULTS: In total, 621 Colombian teachers participated in this research, 438 of whom had self-reported voice complaints and who therefore made up the study population. Total medical costs and productivity costs due to presence of voice symptoms among teachers with voice complaints equaled around 37% of their monthly wage. Approximately, 3% of the costs were direct costs for health care use, and 97% were indirect costs for productivity losses. Severity of voice symptoms was significantly associated with health care use and absenteeism. CONCLUSIONS: Voice symptoms among teachers have important economic consequences because of health care use, voice-related absenteeism, and productivity loss at work.

A Odontologia do Trabalho vem ganhando espaço nos setores empresariais, uma vez que problemas bucais podem interferir de forma negativa no desempenho e na produtividade do trabalhador, além de afetar sua qualidade de vida. As pesquisas sobre produtividade no trabalho relacionadas à saúde vêm ganhando força nos últimos anos e possuem o absenteísmo e o presenteísmo como indicadores para mensuração. O absenteísmo tem uma mensuração mais acessível, já que o trabalhador não está em seu local de trabalho; porém o presenteísmo, que é caracterizado pela presença física do trabalhador em seu local de trabalho mesmo em condições que afetam negativamente sua produtividade, possui uma mensuração complexa. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo realizar uma revista da literatura sobre os instrumentos de pesquisa utilizados para avaliar e mensurar a perda de produtividade no trabalho envolvendo o presenteísmo. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório e descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa sobre a perda de produtividade no trabalho causada pelo presenteísmo. A revista da literatura se deu a partir de pesquisas nas bases de dados Lilacs, Medline e Pubmed, com a combinação dos seguintes descritores: [absenteeism], [productivity], [occupational health], [presenteeism] e [questionnaire]. Foram encontrados 25 instrumentos de pesquisa que avaliam a produtividade no trabalho através do absenteísmo e do presenteísmo, sendo que 5 mensuram somente o presenteísmo. Apenas o SPS-6 possui adaptação transcultural e validação na língua portuguesa brasileira. Nenhum instrumento de pesquisa sobre a perda de produtividade devido ao presenteísmo odontológico foi encontrado. Pode-se concluir que existem na literatura instrumentos confiáveis para a avaliação e mensuração do presenteísmo, porém faz-se necessário a elaboração de trabalhos relacionados com a Odontologia.
The Occupational Dentistry has been gaining ground in business sectors once that bucal problems can interfere in a negative way on the performance in the worker productivity, besides affecting their quality of life. Researches on work productivity related to health have been gaining strength in the last years and have absenteeism and presenteeism as indicators of measure. The absenteeism has more accessible measurement, since the worker is not in your workplace, however presenteeism is characterized by the physical presence of the worker at his workplace, even in conditions that negatively affect their productivity, has a complex way of measurement. Given this approach, the present study aims to conduct a literature review of the research instruments used to evaluate and measure the loss of productivity at work involving the presenteeism. This is an exploratory and descriptive study, with a qualitative approach to the loss of productivity in work caused by the presenteeism. The literature review occurred from research on the databases Lilacs, Medline and Pubmed with the combination of the following descriptors: [absenteeism], [productivity], [occupational health], [presenteeism] and [questionnaire]. Were found 25 survey instruments that evaluate the productivity at work involving the presenteeism, being that only 5 measure just the presenteeism. Solely the SPS-6 has cross-cultural adaptation and validation on Brazilian portuguese language. None instrument of research on productivity loss due to odontologic presenteeism was found. It can be concluded that exist reliable instruments in the literature for evaluation and measurement of the presenteeism, however it is necessary the development of dentistry related work.
