Introduction: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of chronic respiratory diseases, which is one of the non-communicable diseases, on health expenditures using the static panel regression method. Methods: The static panel data methodology was used in the study. The data set consists of annual data from 36 OECD countries covering the period 2004-2017. STATA 13.0 program was used for analysis. Results: It was concluded that the logarithm of the prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases has an econometrically significant and positive effect on the logarithm of the total amount of health expenditure per capita by purchasing power parity, on the logarithm of the total amount of public health expenditure per capita, and on the logarithm of total OOP spending per capita. Conclusion: Chronic respiratory diseases, which are among non-communicable diseases, pose financial risks in both developed and developing countries and threaten the financial continuity and effectiveness of health systems.

Kronik Solunum Yolu Hastalıkları ve Sağlık Harcamaları: Panel Regresyon Analizi

Öz

Giriş: Bu çalışmanın amacı, bulaşıcı olmayan hastalıklardan kronik solunum yolu hastalıklarının sağlık harcamaları üzerindeki etkisini statik panel regresyon yöntemi ile incelemektir. Yöntem: Çalışmada, statik panel veri metodolojisi kullanılmıştır. Veri seti 36 (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) OECD ülkesine ait 2004-2017 dönemini kapsayan yıllık verilerden oluşmaktadır. Analizler için STATA 13,0 programı kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Kronik solunum yolu hastalıklarının prevalansının logaritmasının, satın alma gücü paritesine göre kişi başı toplam sağlık harcaması miktarının logaritması üzerinde, kişi başı toplam kamu sağlık harcaması miktarının logaritması, ve kişi başı toplam cepten sağlık harcamasının logaritması üzerinde ekonometrik olarak anlamlı ve pozitif etkisinin olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Sonuç: Bulaşıcı olmayan hastalıklar içinde yer alan kronik solunum yolu hastalıkları, gerek gelişmiş, gerekse de gelişmekte olan ülkelerde mali açıdan risk oluşturmakta ve sağlık sistemlerinin finansal açıdan devamlılığını ve etkinliğini tehdit etmektedirler
