Abstract

This study presents the results of a joint analysis of patterns of consumption, expenditure, and unit expenditure for a core set of drugs aimed at preventing and treating cardiovascular disease. The current study examines the relationships among three pharmaceutical variables (expenditure, volume of drug use, and unit expenditure) classified according to eight therapeutic categories which are specific for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease and stroke. It covers an 11-year time period, and specifies relevant country-specific structural features in a sample of 12 OECD countries. The data presented in this report show how the three descriptive pharmaceutical variables vary across these countries. The study also contains a preliminary exploration of factors associated with variation in these variables across countries and through time. Findings for each of the eight cardiovascular disease and stroke drug therapeutic categories investigated in this study are ... Cette étude présente les résultats d'une analyse simultanée des tendances de consommation, de dépenses et de dépenses unitaires d’un ensemble de médicaments clés destinés à la prévention et au traitement de la pathologie cardiovasculaire. Elle examine les relations entre les trois variables pharmaceutiques (dépense, volume de médicaments et dépense unitaire) classées en huit catégories thérapeutiques, qui sont spécifiques à la prévention et au traitement des maladies cardiovasculaires et des attaques cérébrales. Elle couvre une période de onze années et met en lumière un certain nombre de caractéristiques structurelles nationales pertinentes pour un échantillon de douze pays membres de l’OCDE. Les données présentées dans le rapport comparent les variations de ces trois variables à travers les pays. L’étude menée comprend également une recherchce préliminaire sur les facteurs associés à l’évolution de ces variables à travers les pays et au cours du temps. Les résultats pour chacune ...
