Article Synopsis
- Many studies on catastrophic health expenditures (CHE) have focused on general populations, but this research specifically examines the financial impact on households with lung cancer patients in China.
- A survey conducted across seven provinces revealed that a significant percentage (78.1%) of these households experienced CHE, with health insurance providing some protection, especially among those with higher income and shorter disease duration.
- The findings highlight the need for better financial support for vulnerable groups like lung cancer patients, suggesting that policymakers should work on enhancing economic protections to alleviate their financial burdens.
Although numerous studies have examined catastrophic health expenditures (CHE) worldwide, most focus on the general population, not on specific vulnerable groups. We aimed to analyse the extent and the influencing factors of CHE in households with breast cancer patients in China, and explore the ability of different insurances to protect these households from CHE. A multicentre, cross-sectional interview surveys was conducted in households with breast cancer patients across seven provinces/municipalities in China.

Background: Budget impact analyses (BIAs) are used for reimbursement decisions and drug access medical insurance, as a supplement to cost-effectiveness analyses (CEAs).
Objectives: We systematically reviewed BIAs for antitumor drugs of lung cancer to provide reference for high-value drug budget impact analyses and decision making.
Methods: We conducted a literature search on PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform from 2010 to 2019.
