  • Title: Indirect costs and workplace productivity loss associated with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
    Author: Yu JS, Hansen RN, Valderrama A, Carlson JJ.
    Journal: Leuk Lymphoma; 2016 Nov; 57(11):2636-43. PubMed ID: 27077242.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this study was to examine indirect costs and workplace productivity loss (defined as an aggregate measure of absenteeism, short-term disability, and long-term disability days) associated with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) from a societal perspective in a commercially insured working-age United States population. The MarketScan(®) Commercial Claims and Encounters and Health and Productivity Management Databases (2007-2013) were used in this study, with controls matched 3:1 to NHL patients. In comparison to controls, NHL patients incurred significantly more workplace productivity loss (31.99 days; 95% CI: 25.24 days, 38.73 days; p < 0.001) and associated indirect costs ($6302.34; 95% CI: $4973.40, $7631.28; p < 0.001) in the 12-month post-diagnosis period when adjusting for covariates. NHL contributes significantly to losses in workplace productivity and higher associated indirect costs.
