Insights
This 1991 study analyzed critical ischemia complications and socioeconomic impacts. It found significant morbidity, mortality, and economic burdens on public health systems.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Health Economics
- Public Health Policy
Context:
- The study examines patients with highly developed ischemic diseases, specifically critical ischemia.
- Data was collected in 1991 within the Asturian Autonomic Community.
Purpose:
- To analyze the clinical complications, including morbidity and mortality, associated with treating critical ischemia.
- To assess the socioeconomic consequences and economic burden of critical ischemia treatment on the public health budget.
Summary:
- The research details the clinical outcomes and financial implications of managing critical ischemia.
- Treatment costs represented 1.5% of the total Public Sanity budget in the Asturian Autonomic Community during the study period.
Impact:
- Highlights the significant clinical and economic challenges posed by critical ischemia.
- Provides data for evaluating resource allocation and healthcare strategies for ischemic diseases.
Abstract:
Authors report their results from a study made during 1991. The study was made in order to analyze the clinical complications (morbidity and mortality) and the socioeconomic consequences that are related to the cure of patients with highly developed ischemic diseases (critical ischemia). Economic expenses mean a 1.5% from the total budget of the Public Sanity into the Asturian Autonomic Community.
