摘要: ABSTRACTObjective: This study aims to estimate costs (including medications prescribed, intervention rates and hospital utilization) health outcomes of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) during the first year following diagnosis.Research design methods: Treatment pathways for ACS patients were developed country-specific resource use was multiplied by unit costs. Countries examined United Kingdom (UK), France, Germany, Italy Spain. Patients with unstable angina myocardial infarction (ST-segment elevation non-ST-segment with/without Q-wave) considered. The models incidence ACS, 1-year mortality, investigations, revascularisation, pharmaceutical medical management. Economic direct healthcare (in 2004 Euros), including total cost, cost per patient capita.Results: estimated number deaths in diagnosis ranged from around 22 500 Spain over 90 000 Germany. Th...
