    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacoeconomics
    • Health Economics
    • Drug Utilization Research

    Background:

    • Drug utilization and expenditures are key indicators of healthcare trends and economic impact.
    • Understanding national drug spending patterns is crucial for healthcare policy and resource allocation.
    • Historical data provides valuable context for current pharmaceutical market analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide national estimates of drug use and expenditures for the year 1982.
    • To identify trends in outpatient drug exposure and prescription spending.
    • To analyze the distribution of pharmaceutical expenditures across major therapeutic classes and healthcare settings.

    Main Methods:

    • Estimation of national drug use and expenditures based on available data for 1982.

  • Analysis of prescription data to determine the most frequently dispensed drug chemicals.
  • Examination of healthcare expenditure data for both retail pharmacies and hospitals.

    • Main Results:

    • Total outpatient drug exposure increased by 5% from 1981 to 1982 and 28% from 1971 to 1982.
    • Hydrochlorothiazide was the most frequently dispensed drug, present in over 5% of 1982 prescriptions.
    • Sixteen major therapeutic classes accounted for approximately 80% of pharmaceutical expenditures.
    • Hospitals spent $3.0 billion, with anti-infectives comprising one-third of this total for systemic use.
    • The prescription drug component of the consumer price index rose 11.7% in 1982.
    • Consumers spent an estimated $14.5 billion on prescriptions from retail pharmacies.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant growth in drug utilization and associated expenditures occurred in 1982.
    • Specific drugs like hydrochlorothiazide dominated dispensing patterns.
    • A substantial portion of healthcare spending was concentrated in major therapeutic classes and hospital settings.
    • Rising prescription costs contributed to inflation, impacting consumer spending on medications.
