Résumé

Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) caused by Neisseria meningitidis is a rapidly progressing, rare disease that often presents as meningitis or sepsis. It mostly affects infants and adolescents, with high fatality rates or long-term sequelae. In the Netherlands, serogroup B (MenB) is most prevalent. We aimed to estimate the economic burden of MenB-related IMD between 2015 and 2019, including direct and indirect medical costs from short- and long-term sequelae, from a societal perspective. IMD incidence was based on laboratory-based case numbers from the Netherlands Reference Laboratory for Bacterial Meningitis (Amsterdam UMC, Amsterdam, the Netherlands); there were 74 MenB cases on average per year in the study period 2015-2019. Case-fatality rate (3.8%) and percentage of patients discharged with sequelae (46%) were derived from literature. Direct costs included treatment costs of the acute phase, long-term sequelae, and public health response. Indirect costs were calculated using the human capital (HCA) and friction costs (FCA) approaches, in which productivity losses were estimated for patients and parents during the acute and sequelae phases. Costs were discounted by 4% yearly. Estimated costs due to MenB IMD in an annual cohort were €3,094,199 with FCA and €9,480,764 with HCA. Direct costs amounted to €2,974,996, of which 75.2% were related to sequelae. Indirect costs related to sequelae were €52,532 with FCA and €5,220,398 with HCA. Our analysis reflects the high economic burden of MenB-related IMD in the Netherlands. Sequelae costs represent a high proportion of the total costs. Societal costs were dependent on the applied approach (FCA or HCA).
