Moreover, the authors found that the absolute prevalence had increased by 23%, and attributed this increase to population growth and aging, in addition to more people surviving a myocardial infarction.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0155"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a></p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Temporal trends in incidence are variable across studies and difficult to rely on due to methodological differences regarding populations, settings, and ascertainment and adjustment approaches, but overall indicate that the incidence of HF is stable or even decreasing over time.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0160"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> However, the lifetime risk for HF in the community is very high (ranging from 30% to 40%),<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0165"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8–10</span></a> with traditional factors accounting for a considerable proportion of HF risk and contributing to the rise in HF prevalence.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0150"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> Despite the progress in therapies (drugs and devices) observed during recent decades, HF remains a morbid, fatal and costly condition, with a global burden that will increase dramatically with an aging population.

Only the resident population ≥25 years of age with symptomatic HF (New York Heart Association [NYHA] functional class II-IV) was included. The prevalence of HF in 2014 was estimated on the basis of the EPICA study (1998-2000),<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0195"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> adjusted for the expected changes in demographics since that study.</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The different settings experienced by HF patients were analyzed. Direct costs included hospitalizations, hospital outpatient services, emergency department (ED) visits (with and without hospitalization), day hospital care, medications, transportation, and use of the national network of long-term care (nursing home hospitalization or equivalent). Data from 2014 on hospitalizations and hospital outpatient services were estimated based mostly on data from the national Diagnostic-Related Group database and identified according to the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9). For the purposes of the study, hospitalization was attributed to HF when this was listed as a primary diagnosis, when it was coded as secondary to a primary diagnosis of circulatory system disease, or when there were invasive cardiac procedures (surgery or device implantation) irrespective of other associated diagnoses. All procedures and interventions related to HF were included in the costs of HF during the hospitalization episode. Estimates of other relevant costs regarding hospital outpatient services were also derived from diverse sources of information, including the opinion of a panel of HF experts representing various different geographical areas. Estimation of costs related to primary care use was preceded by a cross-sectional study analyzing data from the information system of the Lisbon and Tagus Valley Regional Health Administration. From a population of 1.8 million, 25 316 individuals were identified aged ≥25 years, with at least one medical visit during the index year (2014), and a code of HF (K7 in the International Classification of Primary Care, second edition). Costs (including those related to medical therapy) were obtained from the Lisbon and Tagus Valley Regional Health Administration database.</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The indirect costs that were considered corresponded to lost productivity due to lower employment rates or absenteeism.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0190"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> The authors assumed that only patients under 65 years generate indirect costs, and that patients in NYHA functional class II generate only indirect costs for absenteeism.</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">For the estimation of future costs, the authors considered that all variables and parameters that generate costs would remain constant, except for the demographic composition of the population, i.e. they considered that the mean cost per patient and the prevalence rates of HF by gender and age would not vary over the period considered.</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The estimated overall prevalence of HF for 2014 was 5.2% (mainland Portugal, population aged 25 years of age or over). The prevalence of HF generating costs (NYHA functional classes II-IV) was 3.4%. The overall economic cost of HF in 2014 was estimated at €405 million, representing around 0.2% of gross domestic product and 2.6% of total public health expenditure. Direct costs accounted for 74% (€299 million), of which 39% was attributed to hospitalizations, 24% to medications, 17% to exams and tests and 16% to consultations. Indirect costs accounted for 26% (€106 million) of the overall spend, 84% of which was for reduced employment and 16% for absenteeism.</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">According to the authors’ estimated projections for 2036 in mainland Portugal, the number of patients with HF (NYHA functional class II-IV) will increase by 27% relative to 2014, corresponding to an overall cost of €503 million in 2036 (an increase of 24%). The increase in the number of older people with HF, along with a constant rise in direct costs, explains the increase in total cost; a decrease in indirect costs is expected and attributed to demographic changes, as there will be fewer people younger than 65 years of age (lower prevalence of HF and decreased indirect costs). The decrease in indirect costs also explains the discrepancy between the rate of increase in total costs (27%) and the rate of increase in the number of patients with HF (24%). The annual cost per patient with HF (NYHA class II-IV) is predicted decrease from ∼€1623 in 2014 to ∼€1582 in 2036, but the cost per head of population will increase by ∼34% between 2014 and 2036, amounting to ≈€55 for every adult.</p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The overall picture in mainland Portugal is in line with the international literature on this subject. In a recent systematic review (2004-2016)<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0200"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15</span></a> of 16 published COI studies dealing with the cost impact of HF, considerable variation was observed in cost components and estimates, as the methodologies used varied widely and health care systems are very different across countries. Only three studies estimated indirect costs, and four European studies published between 2013 and 2017<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0205"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16–19</span></a> focused mainly on costs related to HF hospitalizations, while none estimated costs for lost productivity. However, most of the 16 included studies<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0200"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15</span></a> showed that hospitalizations are the most expensive element.</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Also, according to Gouveia et al.’s estimates,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0190"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> hospitalizations accounted for 39% of direct costs while only 16% were attributed to consultations, a situation that urgently needs to be changed. Medications accounted for 24% of direct costs, which is to be expected considering the heavy pharmacological burden of HF patients. The benefit provided by prognosis-modifying therapies may outweigh the economic burden of hospitalizations, although given the greater longevity achieved along with the corresponding increase in HF prevalence, it is difficult to expect a reduction in the total cost of the illness.</p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The work by Gouveia et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0190"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> has several merits besides being the first study to shed light on the costs of HF in Portugal and the corresponding estimated projection for the next two decades. First, the study covers the population with HF in the different possible contexts of management: the hospital setting (hospitalization, consultations, day hospital care, emergency department visits without hospitalization); the community (outpatient setting), i.e. management in primary health care; and care at home (or in an institution) integrated in the National Network of Long-Term Care. Second, the work reflects the situation in Portugal using a methodology that appears flawless, erring only on the side of underestimation. In other words, the cost estimates are conservative, as stated by the authors, not including variables for which information is scarce or nonexistent. These include the following additional costs: those arising from the large number of patients who are likely to be followed simultaneously in two places (e.g. hospital consultations and primary care); the proportion of patients with reduced ejection fraction but without symptoms (NYHA functional class I) who may be under pharmacological therapy and hence generate costs; cardiac rehabilitation programs (for which there are no published estimated costs); and indirect costs associated with patients aged 65 years and over, as the authors took the conservative option of considering that only patients under 65 are productive.</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">However, this conservative methodological approach not only shows the criteria used in estimating calculations in a positive light, it also tells us how much HF is actually costing this country.
