[Burden of irritable bowel syndrome in Korea] Seoul: National Evidence-based Healthcare Collaborating Agency (NECA). NECA-A-09-018, NECA-A-10-007. 2010 Authors' conclusions During a single year of 2008, the prevalence of IBS was 5.1% in males and 6.9% in females, yielding a female/male ratio of 1.44.
According to the survey, the estimation of patients' quality of life by using the EQ-5D tool resulted in a score of 0.889 that was lower than the score (EQ-5D index) of 0.933 that was obtained by the general population in Korea.
The total expenditure in 2008 for healthcare services and pharmacy services related to IBS, as estimated from the claims data from the HIRA, was approximately 349.9 billion won. The other costs were estimated to be transportation costs (90.3 billion won), direct costs (440.2 billion won), and loss of productivity (145.2 billion won). Thus, the total burden of irritable bowel syndrome was estimated to be 585.4 billion won. The ratio of medical costs was the highest at 60.0%, followed by transportation costs at 15.4% and productivity loss costs at 24.8%. If other medical costs incurred by patients, such as over-the-counter drug costs and health food costs, are added to the aforementioned costs, the total amount is estimated to be 773.8 billion won.
