RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Transfusion is a mechanism of transmission of Chagas' disease. There are no studies on the costs of the screening test in Colombian blood banks. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the costs of the screening test for Chagas' disease among blood donors in two Colombian blood banks, 2015. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a micro-costing study from the perspective of the health care provider to estimate the cost of Chagas' disease testing in two blood banks, Banco de Sangre de la Cruz Roja, Seccional Bolívar, and Banco de Sangre del Hospital de Yopal, Casanare, taking into account four cost categories: 1) Administrative costs: public services and insurance costs were calculated based on the blood bank area in square meters; 2) capital costs: building and equipment costs that were annualized using a 3% discount rate and a lifespan of 20 years for building and five for equipment; 3) costs of Chagas' disease test materials and reagents adjusted by blood bank production level, and 4) costs of staff in charge of Chagas' disease test processing. The costs of transfusion bagsand immunohematology tests are also reported. RESULTS: The cost of Chagas' disease test in the blood bank of Seccional Bolívar was COP$ 37,804 (USD$ 12), and the blood bag and immunohematology test costs were COP$ 25,941 (USD$ 8.2) and COP$ 6,800 (USD$ 2.2), respectively. In the blood bank of Yopal, Casanare, the costs were COP$ 77,384 (USD$ 24.6), COP$ 30,141 (USD$ 9.6) and COP$ 12,627 (USD$ 4), respectively. Personnel cost accounted for the highest percentage of the total cost for both blood banks (47.5% in Seccional Bolívar, and 55.7% in Yopal, Casanare). CONCLUSION: Our results are an important input for the planning of services and cost-effectiveness studies for screening tests for Chagas' disease in Colombian blood banks.

RESUMO

Resumen Introducción . La transfusión es un mecanismo de transmisión de la enfermedad de Chagas. No se han hecho estudios de costos de la prueba de tamización en bancos de sangre de Colombia. Objetivo. Estimar los costos de la prueba de tamización para la enfermedad de Chagas en donantes de bancos de sangre de Colombia, 2015. Materiales y métodos. Se hizo un estudio de costos desde la perspectiva del prestador de servicios en los bancos de sangre de la Cruz Roja, seccional Bolívar, y del Hospital de Yopal, Casanare, que incluyó: 1) gastos administrativos, es decir, costos de servicios públicos y seguros asignados según los metros cuadrados de las instalaciones del banco de sangre; 2) costos de capital, es decir, edificación y equipos, anualizados con una tasa de descuento de 3 % y considerando una vida útil de 20 y cinco años, respectivamente; 3) costos de insumos y materiales ajustados al nivel de producción, y 4) costos del recurso humano encargado del procesamiento de las pruebas. Se reportó, asimismo, el costo de las bolsas y de las pruebas de inmunohematología. Resultados. En el banco de sangre de la Cruz Roja, seccional Bolívar, el costo de la prueba fue de COP$ 37.804 (USD$ 12), mientras que la bolsa y la prueba de inmunohematología costaron COP$ 25.942 (USD$ 8,2) y COP$ 6.800 (USD$ 2,2), respectivamente. En el banco de sangre del Hospital de Yopal, los costos ascendieron a COP$ 77.384 (USD$ 24,6), COP$ 30.141 (USD$ 9,6) y COP$ 12.627 (USD$ 4), respectivamente. La mayor participación en el costo de la prueba correspondió al recurso humano (47,5 % en Cartagena y 55,7 % en Yopal). Conclusiones. Estos resultados son importantes para la planificación de los servicios y los análisis de costo-efectividad de la prueba de tamización para la enfermedad de Chagas en los bancos de sangre.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are a leading public health issue worldwide. OBJECTIVE: To explore the inequalities in ARI mortality rates in under-5, according to socioeconomic characteristics. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted an ecological analysis to study inequalities at municipal level due to ARI mortality in children under 5 years. The data were obtained from official death records of the Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística. The analysis of inequalities in the under-5 mortality rate (U5MR) included: 1) Classification of the population in different socio-economic strata, and 2) measurement of the degree of inequality. We used the ARI-U5MR as an outcome measurement.The mortality rates were estimated at national and municipal levels for the years 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2013. Rate ratios, rates differences, and concentration curves were calculated to observe the inequalities. RESULTS: A total of 18,012 children under 5 years died by ARI in Colombia from 2000 to 2013. ARIU5MR was greater in boys than in girls. During this period, an increase in the infant mortality relative gap in both boys and girls was observed. In 2013, the U5MR evidenced that for boys from municipalities with the highest poverty had a 1.6-fold risk to die than those in municipalities with the lowest poverty (low tercile). In girls, the ARI-U5MR for 2005 and 2013 in the poorest tercile was 1.5 and 2 times greater than in the first tercile, respectively. CONCLUSION: Colombian inequalities in the ARI mortality rate among the poorest municipalities compared to the richest ones continue to be a major challenge in public health.


Introducción. Las infecciones respiratorias agudas (IRA) son un importante problema de salud pública a nivel mundial. Objetivo. Explorar las desigualdades de la tasa de mortalidad debida a IRA (TM-IRA) en <5 años, de acuerdo a variables socioeconómicas. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un análisis ecológico para estudiar las desigualdades a nivel municipal de las TM-IRA en <5 años. Los datos se obtuvieron a partir de registros de muertes del Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística. En análisis de desigualdades en <5 incluyó: 1) Clasificación de la población por estatus socioeconómico y 2) Medición del grado de desigualdad. Como resultado en salud se utilizó la TM-IRA en <5 años. Se estimaron tasas a nivel nacional y municipal para 2000, 2005, 2010, 2013. Se calcularon razones y diferencias de tasas y curvas de concentración para observar las desigualdades. Resultados. Entre 2000-2013 murieron en Colombia por IRA 18.012 <5 años. La TM-ARI fue mayor en niños que en niñas. En el periodo, se observó un incremento en la brecha de mortalidad infantil en ambos sexos. En 2013, la tasa en niños que murieron en municipios con mayor pobreza fue 1,6 veces mayor que la de niños en aquellos con menor. En niñas, para 2015 y 2013, la tasa en el tercil más pobre fue 1,5 y 2 veces mayor que la del primer tercil, respectivamente. Conclusión. Las desigualdades en la TM-IRA entre los municipios más pobres en comparación con los más ricos continúan siendo un reto importante en salud pública.
