Economic impact of dyspepsia in rural and urban Malaysia: a population-based study
Background/Aims : The economic impact of dyspepsia in regions with a diverse healthcare system remains uncertain. This study aimed to estimate the costs of dyspepsia in a rural and urban population in Malaysia.Methods Economic evaluation was performed based on the cost-of-illness method. Resource ut...

Results The prevalences of dyspepsia in the rural (n = 2,000) and urban (n = 2,039) populations were 14.6% and 24.3% respectively.

Background/Aims : The economic impact of dyspepsia in regions with a diverse healthcare system remains uncertain. This study aimed to estimate the costs of dyspepsia in a rural and urban population in Malaysia.Methods Economic evaluation was performed based on the cost-of-illness method. Resource utilization and quality of lifedata over a
specific time frame, were collected to determine direct, indirect and intangible costs related to dyspepsia.
Results The prevalences of dyspepsia in the rural (n = 2,000) and urban (n = 2,039) populations were 14.6% and 24.3% respectively. Differences in socioeconomic status and healthcare utilisation between both populations were considerable.

The economic impact of dyspepsia is greater in an urban compared to a rural setting. Differences in socioeconomic status and healthcare utilisation between populations are thought to contribute to this difference. |
