Clinical Trial Summary

Cost-of-illness studies in palliative care (PC) are a growing area of interest in health economics activity. They are, in part, stakeholders' basis for deciding the allocation of the scarce public and private economic resources. There is no standard methodology to capture the formal and informal costs and expenses that health services and patients and their caregivers make during the PC attention period due to non-standard health services, and data capture approaches.


Clinical Trial Description

Methods / Analysis Prospective study on the burden of disease of PC on the outpatient/domiciliary attention. Proposed in three phases: Phase I: Systematic Review of Literature to identify de types of costs and proposed methodologies to identify and determine de economic burden of PC. With collected data, create a questionnaire to register the costs of services covered by the healthcare system and those covered by patients/caregivers (PROSPERO CRD42021250086). Phase II: Questionnaire piloting. Phase III: Transversal study of costs, collecting data from public healthcare billing and patient/caregivers payments to cover PC on selected patients. Final methodologic proposal to study billing/costs of outpatient/domiciliary PC. ;
