Economic Impact

• The annual cost of medical care in 2009 averaged $18,300 and ranged from $9200 among patients with mild disease to $83,300 among patients with severe disease.

• Of total costs:• 47% were from hospitalization• 18% were from DNase (Pulmozyme)• 12% were from clinic visits• 10% were from outpatient antibiotics.

• When the observed costs were used to estimate the costs of medical care for the entire population of CF patients in the United States, these costs were estimated to be about $814 million per year in 2009 .

• (Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, 2009)

Cystic fibrosis is the most common life-shortening genetic disorder among white individuals worldwide. Estimates of the costs of medical care have been based on expert opinion rather than observed costs.
