国际上对哮喘发病率上升的担忧日益加剧。虽然人们对哮喘发病率有很多了解，但关于这种疾病的经济负担的现有数据很少，特别是在不发达国家。在缺乏关于社会成本的数据的情况下，不可能制定合理的资源分配政策，以减少发病率。这篇文章的目的是提供关于哮喘疾病的社会成本的现有文献的综述。根据这些文献，我们提出了一个概念模型，将哮喘发病率与疾病的社会机会成本联系起来。然后，我们基于所提出的模型描绘了一个框架，该框架可用于概念化和评估替代哮喘干预策略的相对影响。基于使用该模型的拟议分析，我们认为可以比较各种干预策略如何影响哮喘成本和发病率，从而为更合理地处理有关哮喘的社会资源分配的医疗政策提供一种手段。
There is a growing international concern about increasing asthma morbidity. While much is known about asthma morbidity, there are few available data on the economic burden of this condition, particularly in underdeveloped countries. In the absence of data on social costs, it is not possible to develop rational approaches to policies regarding resource allocation to reduce morbidity. The purpose of this article is to provide a review of the available literature on the social costs of illness for asthma. In light of this literature, we propose a conceptual model that links asthma morbidity to the social opportunity costs of the disease. We then delineate a framework, based on the proposed model, that can be used to conceptualise and evaluate the relative impact of alternative asthma intervention strategies. Based upon proposed analyses using this model, we believe that it would be possible to compare how various intervention strategies are likely to affect asthma costs and morbidity, thus providing a means for a more rational approach to healthcare policies regarding societal resource allocation for asthma.
