Abstract
BACKGROUND
Cancer is among the leading causes of death globally, posing a significant economic burden on the healthcare sector. Among other types of cancer in Indonesia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) ranks fifth in terms of prevalence. Chemotherapy for NHL patients is funded by a national health insurance scheme through the National Healthcare Insurance and Social Security/Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN).
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to analyze cost burden of chemotherapy for JKN patients with NHL.
DATA SOURCE
A retrospective cross-sectional observational study was conducted among NHL patients receiving chemotherapy at a hospital in East Java, Indonesia in 2021. Data were collected from medical record documents and a total of 44 patient visits were recorded in this study.
DATA SUMMARY
The result showed that patient visits were dominated by females (55%), a significant proportion were aged 31 to 40 years (32%), and the majority were JKN participants in the Contribution Assistance Recipients/Penerima Bantuan Iuran (PBI) category (64%). The most chemotherapy regimen given was R-CHOP (68%) and the mean total cost for NHL patients was Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) 5,178,146. The highest mean cost burden was on chemotherapy drugs with a value of IDR 6,333,315. Based on the regimen, the highest cost burden was R-CHOP-Bleo with a mean cost of IDR 8,764,091.
CONCLUSION
Based on the results, the highest cost burden for chemotherapy among JKN patients with NHL in Indonesia was attributed to R-CHOP-Bleo regimen with a mean of IDR 8,764,091.
