Direct Medical Care

Background: Approximately 20 million individuals are afflicted with cancer worldwide. Gastric cancer is the fourth leading cause of death in the world today. The aim of this study was to evaluate the direct medical care costs of gastric cancer patients in a tertiary teaching hospital in Iran. Methods: The present study is descriptive-analytical, carried out in two main stages. In the first stage we designed a form based on valid international guidelines. The second step identified the costs of diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer. To analyze the cost data, descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation were utilized. We used nonparametric statistical tests such as Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon in SPSS 16 software for data analysis. Results: In this study, the records of 449 gastric cancer patients who had referred to Omid tertiary teaching hospital of Mashhad between the years 2005 and 2015 were studied. According to the results, the highest average costs were related to patient hospitalization costs. Based on the significance level of the Mann Whitney test, no remarkable difference could be seen in the total costs of metastatic and non-metastatic patients (P-value: P> 0.05). Conclusion: Organizations such as: insurance agencies, charities and financial institutions need to adopt new policies to reduce patients’ expenditures, remove financial barriers and prevent patients from facing catastrophic costs.

AbstractThis study analyses the spatial dimensions of patronage of Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex’s Cancer Treatment Centre, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria, with a view to provide information on the sphere of influence of the centre and to inform future locational decisions. The geographic coordinates of relevant phenomena were obtained using a GPS receiver. Also, the medical records of cancer patients were assessed for relevant information. The collected data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, and geo-spatial techniques. The data showed that a total of 1809 patients from 15 states in Nigeria were enrolled for the treatment of cancer at the hospital. The volume of patronage at the centre was seen to be inversely related to the distance travelled by patients (r = −.657, p>0.05). For instance, 85% of the patients came from the three (3) states nearest to the health facility, with Osun, the host State, accounting for about half (50.6%) of the total number. Additionally, the study revealed some demographic and socio-economic peculiarities among the cancer patients.
