Human infections: economic implications and prevention.

J V Bennett

    Annals of Internal Medicine
    |November 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    High infectious disease rates necessitate economic assessments that include savings from prevention. Incorporating these future savings helps prioritize research and compare the economic impact of various health issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Health Economics
    • Infectious Disease Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Infectious diseases continue to cause significant morbidity and mortality globally.
    • Current economic assessments often overlook the financial benefits of preventive healthcare strategies.
    • A comprehensive economic evaluation is crucial for understanding the true burden of infectious diseases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To advocate for economic assessments that integrate the costs saved by preventive efforts.
    • To demonstrate how these economic factors can guide research priorities for specific infections.
    • To compare the economic importance of infectious diseases against other health concerns.

    Main Methods:

    • Reviewing existing literature on the economic impact of infectious diseases.
    • Outlining preventive activities applicable to both individual and community levels.
    • Analyzing the relationship between research investment and infection prevention outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Economic assessments should incorporate both direct disease costs and indirect savings from prevention.
    • Preventive measures offer substantial long-term economic benefits that should be factored into analyses.
    • Integrating economic considerations can effectively prioritize research for infectious disease control.

    Conclusions:

    • A holistic economic approach, including preventive savings, is essential for managing infectious diseases.
    • Prioritizing research based on economic impact and prevention potential can lead to more effective public health interventions.
    • Understanding the economic importance of infections aids in resource allocation and policy development.
