“…21,23,33 Hospitalization rates found in our study were higher than those found before 2003 in our region (around 10/100,000 person-year). 11,34 Rates found at national level were slightly higher, ranging from 10.3 to 13.4/100,000 personyear. 12,29 Studies from other European countries demonstrated similar rates, 21,22,32,35 reaching 20.3 per 100,000 person-year in patients of 50 years and over.…”

“…A previous study in our region found stable hospitalization rates for the period 1998e2003. 11 At national level a study between 1997 and 2007 showed a clear increase in the number of HZ-related hospitalizations. 38 A later analysis of HZ-related hospitalizations found an statistically significant increase between 2005 and 2010 in the group over 84 years, both in regions vaccinating with varicella vaccine all susceptible adolescents and regions with routine varicella vaccination at 15e18 months of age.…”

“…More frequent hospitalisations have also been observed among patients with PHN when compared to patients with HZ across studies in Italy [29], Belgium [40], France [55], Germany [73], Spain [37,45,49,51,52,61]. and Portugal [59].…”

“…The rates of hospitalisations due to HZ and/or PHN reported in the literature (generally derived from national or insurance databases of hospital admissions) suggest that increased rates of hospitalisation are also associated with increasing age [ 55 , 71 ]. More frequent hospitalisations have also been observed among patients with PHN when compared to patients with HZ across studies in Italy [ 29 ], Belgium [ 40 ], France [ 55 ], Germany [ 73 ], Spain [ 37 , 45 , 49 , 51 , 52 , 61 ]. and Portugal [ 59 ].…”

“…Direct costs of the management of HZ and PHN patients were reported in 20 studies. The reviewed articles presented data from Spain [ 27 , 37 , 45 , 51 - 53 , 69 ], the UK [ 7 , 28 , 43 , 47 , 74 ], France [ 30 ], Italy [ 29 , 46 ], Germany [ 31 , 67 ], Belgium [ 26 , 40 ], Greece [ 70 ] and Switzerland [ 72 ]. Outpatient costs (including medical visits, diagnostic tests and medications), hospitalization and inpatient costs were identified in the literature as key contributors to the overall cost burden of HZ and PHN.…”

The humanistic, economic and societal burden of Herpes Zoster in Europe: a critical review

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundHerpes zoster (HZ) or “shingles” is common in persons aged 50 years or over. HZ is characterised by a painful dermatological rash which typically resolves in approximately one month. Persistent pain for months or years after rash onset, however, is a common complication of HZ; referred to as post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN). Both HZ and PHN have a significant impact on patients’ lives, with considerable implications for healthcare systems and wider society. The aim of the present review is to provide comprehensive documentation and critical appraisal of published data concerning the humanistic, economic and societal burden of HZ in Europe.MethodsSystematic literature searches were conducted in Medline, EMBASE, PsycINFO, EconLit, HEED and CRD databases. Searches were conducted in July 2014 and restricted to articles published in the past 20 years. Articles were selected for full review by two independent researchers in accordance with predefined eligibility criteria.ResultsFrom a review of 1619 abstracts, 53 eligible articles, were identified which reported data concerning healthcare resource use (n = 38), direct costs (n = 20), indirect costs (n = 16), total costs (n = 10) and impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) (n = 21). Findings highlight that PHN is associated with greater impairments in HRQoL and higher costs of management than HZ. For both HZ and PHN, pain severity is a significant predictor of impact on individuals, healthcare systems and society. While the incidence of HZ and PHN increase with age, age does not appear to be a key driver of overall costs for HZ and PHN. Specifically, while direct costs (e.g. GP, specialists, medications, hospitalisations) tend to be higher for older patients, indirect costs (e.g. work time missed) are higher for younger patients.ConclusionsAvailable evidence highlights that HZ and PHN result in significant humanistic and economic burden for patients, healthcare systems and wider societies. A tendency to focus upon healthcare resource use and the direct costs of management at the expense of other impacts (e.g. informal caregivers and formal social care) may result in an underestimation of the true burden of HZ and PHN.
