Costs Associated with Adverse Drug Reactions Among HIV/TB Patients in Thailand.
Article in ClinicoEconomics and outcomes research : CEOR, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: To assess the direct and indirect costs associated with adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in patients receiving treatment regimens for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and tuberculosis (TB) in selected Thai hospitals. Patients and Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted between October 2014 and September 2019 at three public hospitals in Thailand. Data were obtained from a medical database and spontaneous ADR reporting system of each study site. The out-of-pocket health payments and indirect costs were determined via interviewing. All costs were updated to 2021. Results: A total of 432 eligible patients who experienced ADRs due to HIV and TB treatment, and 93 patients were interviewed to determine direct non-medical and indirect costs. The average direct medical cost for ADR was USD 5.65 for mild cases, USD 156.54 for moderate cases, and USD 1,242.45 for severe cases. For direct non-medical costs, the average cost per episode was USD 27.29 in mild ADR, USD 70.86 in moderate ADR and USD 270.66 in severe ADR. The indirect cost incurred in each mild, moderate and severe ADR was USD 41.86, USD 89.34, and USD 552.60, respectively. The Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) had the highest management costs. Conclusion: ADRs associated with anti-tuberculosis drugs and antiretroviral drugs seem to have a substantial economic impact from a societal perspective. These findings would be useful for increasing awareness and encouraging early avoidance of ADRs.
