Estimation of excess lifetime costs associated with peptic ulcer disease

Calculation step Equation/notation Estimate
Excess LTCs associated with PUD due to continuing H. pylori infection, US$ LTCPUD=(PPUD[w]PPUD[wo]CPUD 28.09
Expected cost per patient with PUD, US$ CPUD=Cmed+Chosp 249.65
Expected cost per patient of PUD-related hospitalization, US$ Chosp=PPUD[hosp]·CPUD[hosp] 8.90
Cost of GI hospitalization event due to PUD, US$ CPUD[hosp] 8,896.00
Probability of GI hospitalization event due to PUD, % PPUD[hosp] 0.10
Expected cost per patient of PUD regardless of hospitalization (managed by medication), US$ Cmed=tPUD[med]·CPUD[med] 240.75
Duration of PUD, years tPUD[med] 0.50
Cost/year of managing PUD with medication, US$ CPUD[med] 481.50
Excess lifetime risk of PUD due to continuing H. pylori infection, % PPUD[w]PPUD[wo] 11.25
Lifetime risk of developing PUD with continuing H. pylori infection, % PPUD[w] 15.00
Lifetime risk of developing PUD without continuing H. pylori infection, % PPUD[wo] 3.75
