Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Objectives: To summaries the state of knowledge on the economic burden evaluation of tuberculosis in Asian countries in order to propose and improve health and social policy. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, including journal articles reporting the cost of tuberculosis in Asian countries from 2000 to 2015. The search strategy was based on a broad combined search string (economic burden* OR cost* OR “cost of illness” [Mesh]) AND (“Tuberculosis” [Mesh] OR tuberculosis). Only studies that reported any costs of TB were retained. All costs were converted to 2015 USD in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Results: Overall, thirteen articles were selected for the review. Thirteen articles included direct cost, eleven articles included indirect cost. The results showed the number of studies on the economic burden of tuberculosis is lower; the study also outlined the economic burden of tuberculosis in Asian countries. Overall, the economic burden of tuberculosis in Asian countries was in range of $76 to $1964. Conclusions: The economic burden of tuberculosis in Asian countries was catastrophic. Tuberculosis leads to a significant economic burden for any countries. Tuberculosis has a substantial economic impact, and the lack of information on the cost of Tuberculosis in several countries highlights the need for further work in order to describe the global economic burden of Tuberculosis. Hence, the healthcare administration should suggest essential policies in order to control TB the best as well as reduce the economic burden of TB for the society.
