2 Dementia in Taiwan Prevalence of dementia in Taiwan The disease prevalence is clearly on the rise, from 0.7% in 1996 to 4.97% in 2011 (Chien et al., 2008; DOH, 2013) Economic burden of dementia in Taiwan The first cost estimate published in 2002 was US$10,333- $23,691 (Chou et al., 2000) An updated cost estimate of $US14,398 for dementia patients who are living at home (Kuo et al., 2010) However, neither estimates included direct medical costs paid for by health insurance The cost of illness for dementia in Taiwan is yet to be known 2
3 Costs of dementia in the world Cost per person with dementia in US$ Asia Pacific High Income Source: World Alzheimer Report, 2010, Table 11 & 15 3
4 Objectives To estimate treated prevalence and incidence rates of dementia in Taiwan among National Health Insurance (NHI) enrollees. To estimate medical costs for patients with dementia paid by the NHI To estimate the effect of using selected cognitive enhancers on health care costs among patients with dementia 4
5 Cognitive enhancers (CE) included in our study Category Cholinesterase Inhibitors (Che-I) NMDA Smart drugs Drug name Donepezil Rivastigmine Galantamine hydrobro Memantine Dihydroergotoxine Piracetam Nicergoline Callirein Ginkgo biloba Pentoxifylline 5
6 Reimbursement of pharmaceutical therapy for dementia in Taiwan Therapy for dementia with ChE-I and NMDA is covered by NHI in Taiwan since 2000 but with strict payment regulations Subjects must be the patients of mild or moderate AD must have complete case studies of clinical symptoms, blood tests, cognitive tests also requires neuro image such as brain CT or MRI Patients with cerebral vascular disease history were excluded Therapy with ChE-I and NMDA is no longer covered if the MMSE score worsened by more than 2 points or the CDR worsened by 1 grade On the other hands, vasodilators, also known as smart drugs are covered by NHI with no string attached 6
7 Methods Data source: Taiwan s National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) Includes ambulatory care visits, inpatient admissions, and prescription drug use. Inclusion criteria: Senile or pre-senile organic psychotic condition (ICD-9-CM code 290), or Dementia in conditions classified elsewhere (294.1), or Alzheimer s disease (331.0) Study period: Sample size: 425,074 persons with at least one diagnosis of dementia 91,814 persons who has ever used a cognitive enhancer 7
8 Cost of illness study approaches Key Distinctions Gross costs Net costs Top-down approach Bottom-up approach Prevalence approach Incidence approach 8
9 Statistical analysis Calculated annual treated prevalence and incidence rates Stratified by dementia subtype and gender Adjusted costs difference estimated using two-part model The first-part was a logit regression predicting any expenditure The second-part expenditure regression used a gamma regression with a log link Covariates controlled included age, gender and 16 conditions in the Charlson Comorbidity Index With propensity score adjustment 9

16 Summary of Findings Prevalence estimates of dementia in our study ( %) was slightly higher than the latest national estimate of 4.97% (DOH, 2013) The average annual medical costs of dementia in Taiwan were US$4024 (NT$120,747) per patient, of which US$1082 (NT$ 32,462) were on drug reimbursement. the average spending on ChE-I and NMDA were US$639 and US$282 per drug user, respectively 16
17 Discussion Our study found the medical costs of dementia in Taiwan to be high (US$4024) Comparable to the medical costs (US$4766) of dementia in high income countries* Two times more than the medical costs of dementia (US$1852) in the Asia Pacific High Income* But the use of cognitive enhancers in Taiwan was limited both in dollars and in the number of patients Use of cognitive enhancers was associated with lower total health expenditure Pharmaceutical therapy seem to be cost-saving Especially with lower inpatient costs *Source: World Alzheimer Report,
18 Policy Implication The strict insurance payment rules in Taiwan may have prevented greater utilization of pharmaceutical therapy for dementia 18
