OBJECTIVES: Real-world resource use and cost data on @entity1149 ( @entity1149 ) are scarce. This data is needed to inform health-economic modelling to assess the impact of new diagnostic and/or treatment technologies. This study provides detailed insight into real-world medical resource use and costs of stage I-IV @entity1149 in the Netherlands. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A random sample of @entity1 newly diagnosed with @entity1149 (2009-2011) was selected from four Dutch hospitals. Data was retrospectively collected from @entity1 charts. This data included @entity1 characteristics, @entity5 characteristics, treatment details, adverse events, survival and resource use. Resource use was multiplied by Dutch unit costs expressed in EUR 2012. Total mean costs were corrected for censoring using the Bang and Tsiatis weighted complete-case estimator. Furthermore, costs of adverse events, costs per phase of @entity1149 management and costs of second opinions are presented. RESULTS: Data was collected on 1067 @entity1 . Total mean costs for @entity1149 diagnosis, treatment and follow-up are    28,468 during the study period and    33,143 when corrected for censoring. Adverse events were recorded in the @entity1 charts for 369 @entity1 (41%) and 82 @entity1 (9%) experienced an adverse event of grade III or higher. For these @entity1 , adverse event-related hospital admissions cost on average    2,091. Mean total costs are    1,725 for the diagnostic period,    17,296 for first treatment line, and    13,236 for each later treatment line. Costs of providing a second opinion are    2,580 per @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: Total mean hospital costs per @entity1149 @entity1 are    33,143 for the total duration of the disease. Ignoring censoring in our data underestimates these costs by 14%. Main limitations of the study relate to the short follow-up time, staging difficulties and missing data. Its main strength is that it provides highly detailed, real-world data on the costs of @entity1149 .
