dc.description.abstractalternativeThe drinking of alcohol is closely related to a wide range of physical, mental and social problems. Most health professionals agree that alcohol affects practically every organ in the human body. Overall, there is a causal relationship between alcohol consumption and more than 60 diseases and injuries. Consequently, alcohol drinking has a substantial impact on health-care expenditure. However, health-care costs related to alcohol drinking in the Thai population have not been carefully researched. The objective of this study was to estimate health-care costs due to the diseases caused by drinking alcohol, based on a health system perspective. First, the alcohol-attributable fractions (AAFs), which are generally defined as the proportion of a disease in a population which is attributable to alcohol drinking, were calculated from the prevalence of alcohol drinking and age- and sex-specific relative risk for each disease. Pooled relative risks derived from meta-analyses were preferable for this calculation. The number of patients in each disease category attributable to alcohol drinking was then calculated as the product of AAFs and the total number of patients with a specific disease, classified by sex and age group. The health-care costs of alcohol drinking was further estimated by multiplying the number of patients in each disease category attributable to alcohol drinking by the unit cost of treatment. Both outpatient and in-patient visits were taken into account in this study. Health-care costs attribute to alcohol in this research totalled 5,491.2 million baht (i.e., out-patient department (2,488.1 million baht) and inpatient department (3,003.1 million baht). Costs derived from the in-patient department accounted for 55 percent of the total health-care costs attributable to alcohol. The result of this study indicated that alcohol drinking was significantly associated with a large number of health-care costs in Thailand. Estimation of health-care costs related to alcohol drinking would provide an important insight into future policy appraisal and evaluation.en_US
