Abstract

A literature review has been carried out to analyse the clinical burden, the economic impact of influenza and the efficiency of influenza vaccination programmes in Spain.

The average incidence rate of influenza in Spain is 2069 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, with a significant impact on mortality and a reduction of health-related quality of life. In terms of its associated costs, influenza causes a significant burden on primary care, hospitals, treatments and absences from work every year, which could total one billion euros per year. Vaccination is an efficient measure for its prevention and can generate savings for the healthcare system.

In conclusion, influenza is a significant health problem which generates a major economic and clinical burden annually; the profiling and measurement of which must be improved.

Resumen

Con el objetivo de analizar la carga clínica, el impacto económico de la gripe y la eficiencia de los programas de vacunación antigripal en España, se ha llevado a cabo una revisión de la literatura.

La incidencia media de gripe en España se sitúa en 2.069 casos por 100.000 habitantes, con un impacto relevante en mortalidad y la disminución de la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud. En cuanto a los costes asociados, la gripe genera todos los años una importante carga en atención primaria, hospitalaria, tratamientos y absentismo laboral, que podrían suponer hasta 1.000 millones de euros anuales. La vacunación es una medida eficiente para su prevención y puede generar ahorros para el sistema de salud.

En conclusión, la gripe es un problema de salud relevante que anualmente genera una carga económica y clínica importante, pero cuya caracterización y medición deben ser mejoradas.
