Abstract
- Aim of the Study: The aim of this work was to update the 2015 unit costs (UC) for the monetary valuation of health-related resource use from a societal perspective for the years 2019 and 2020 in Germany.<br />Methods: The update follows the methodology of Bock et al. 2015. Based on the newly established care levels, UC for care degree 1 to 5 are now provided. To account for change in price trends during the Covid-19 pandemic, average growth rates in UC are shown from 2011-2019 and compared to 2019-2020.<br />Results: Updates of UC for the outpatient medical sector, remedies and aids, hospitals, (in)formal care services, and rehabilitation for 2019 and 2020 are provided.<br />Conclusion: The updated UC can be used as reference values for the monetary valuation of individual resource use in health economic evaluations in Germany.<br />Competing Interests: Die Autorinnen/Autoren geben an, dass kein Interessenkonflikt besteht.<br /> (Thieme.
