ABSTRACT

Objective: In the private healthcare sector in Brazil, the dearth of information regarding transfusion cost may compromise the management of conditions requiring long-term transfusion. Therefore, the present study aimed to estimate the cost of chronic red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in this context. Methods: A payer perspective was chosen for the analysis. A survey performed by an expert advisory board gathered information on the amounts reimbursed by health plans to blood centers per outpatient transfusion of a single RBC bag in multitransfused patients. Survey results were contrasted to RBC transfusion cost calculated using Brazilian Hierarchical Classification of Medical Procedures (CBHPM) parameters from 2018 and 2010, the latter suggested by the advisory board as more accurately reflecting market prices. Results: Six blood centers in the South and Southeast of Brazil were surveyed. The median amount reimbursed per RBC unit was R$ 1,066.44 (interquartile range: R$ 665.00-1,252.00). The mean amount reimbursed was R$ 959.54 ± R$ 337.14 (minimum: R$ 295.00 ­ maximum: R$ 1,980.00). Using 2018 CBHPM parameters, the cost of transfusing one RBC unit was calculated as R$ 1,905.18. Using 2010 CBHPM parameters, the cost was R$ 1,119.69 per RBC unit. Conclusions: Analyses using 2018 CBHPM parameters may lead to overestimation of transfusion cost. The best estimate for outpatient transfusion of one RBC bag in the private health care sector in Brazil lies between the observed reimbursed values and 2010 CBHPM cost. The present results provide valuable information for future cost-effectiveness analyses focusing on disorders whose treatment involves routine RBC transfusion.


A carência de informações sobre custo de transfusão sanguínea na saúde suplementar brasileira pode comprometer análises econômicas e eventuais decisões relacionadas a esse procedimento no longo prazo. O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar o custo de transfusão crônica de concentrado de hemácias (CH) nesse contexto. Métodos: Foi escolhida a perspectiva do pagador. Uma pesquisa foi realizada com especialistas para levantamento de valores reembolsados para transfusão de uma bolsa de CH em pacientes politransfundidos. Os resultados da pesquisa foram comparados ao custo de transfusão de CH calculado utilizando a Classificação Brasileira Hierarquizada de Procedimentos Médicos (CBHPM), edições de 2018 e 2010, sendo a edição mais antiga sugerida pelos especialistas como estando mais de acordo com a realidade de mercado. Resultados: Seis hemocentros localizados no Sul e Sudeste do Brasil foram incluídos. Os valores mediano e médio reembolsados aos hemocentros foram R$ 1.066,44 (amplitude interquartil: R$ 665,00-1.252,00) e R$ 959,54 ± R$ 337,14 (mínimo: R$ 295,00 ­ máximo: R$ 1.980,00), respectivamente. Com base nos parâmetros da CBHPM 2018 e 2010, os custos de transfusão calculados para uma bolsa de CH foram R$ 1.905,18 e R$ 1.119,69, respectivamente. Conclusões: Análises utilizando parâmetros da CBHPM 2018 podem superestimar os custos de transfusão de CH. Na perspectiva do sistema de saúde suplementar brasileiro, a melhor estimativa de custo de transfusão por bolsa de CH está entre o valor reembolsado e o valor calculado utilizando a CBHPM 2010. O presente estudo apresenta informações importantes para futuras análises de custo-efetividade de patologias que envolvem tratamentos à base de politransfusão de CH.

ABSTRACT

We report a case of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) subtype M2, with t(5;11)(q35;q13), in a 30-year-old man. Conventional cytogenetic, spectral karyotyping, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies on bone marrow sample obtained at diagnosis revealed an abnormal karyotype in all cells examined. FISH analysis demonstrated absence of translocations in the region of the cyclin D1 gene and real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction revealed normal expression of this gene. Similar to the 11q23 region, 11q13 changes can be found in both myeloid and lymphoid neoplasias with different chromosomes serving as donors in translocations.
