A861and myeloid leukemia (9.3%, n= 263) in Auditron. ConClusions: Although limited to the state of Sao Paulo, FOSP database provides substantial information on cancer treatment, from a large number of patients. Auditron presents a larger geographic coverage on the country and more detailed information on prescriptions, while FOSP does not provide detailed information on prescriptions.
The average length of hospitalizations per ICD ranged from 4.2 (stricture of artery) to 16.4 days (cardiac arrest), and the average cost per day of hospitalization varied from R$2.9 thousand (stroke) to R$9.4 thousand (CAD). These costs may still be underestimated, as study limitations include the lack of a standardized reporting process and ICD not being a mandatory information at the medical billing. ConClusions: Hospitalizations and procedures due to CVD heavily affect the private healthcare system, both economically and in occupation of hospital beds, tending to increase due to population ageing in Brazil. There is a significant unmet need for reducing risk factors and consequently CV events.
with drug-eluting stent placement cost an average of 47,053.16, patients with acute myocardial infarction who underwent revascularization cost an average of 55,585.20, patients with acute myocardial infarction who underwent revascularization and angioplasty with drug-eluting stent placement cost an average of 57,391.90, and patients with acute myocardial infarction who underwent angioplasty with drugeluting stent placement cost an average of 58,476.30. ConClusions: Private health insurances in Brazil provide treatment only for hospitalized patients instead of covering prophylactic drug treatment, a practice that might lead to higher expenditure on hospitalization and procedures for unmanaged cardiovascular diseases, where costs can range from 24,175.49 up to 58,476.30, an increase of 41%.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
