The objective of this paper is to carry out a systematic literature review of the publications that have analysed the costs derived from COVID-19 from the patient's perspective. Not only is this study aimed at measuring the impact of COVID-19 in economic terms, but also in qualitative terms, analysing, for instance, the types of costs (direct and indirect) and their variations depending on the geographical area under study. Searches were conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus. The time frame for the analysis was from the start of the pandemic until 9th December 2021. A total of 322 papers were found. The number of articles assessed for eligibility was 32, and after applying the exclusion criteria, 13 papers were included in the qualitative synthesis. Most of the studies analysed only direct costs (69.23%) and were focused on Asia (61.54%), where the larger indirect costs, as well as the greater total costs, were found. However, the higher costs per patient and year were shown for the United States. This investigation showed the importance of COVID-19 in national, regional and local budgets. More studies are to be developed in Europe due to both the existing differences in the health care systems and financing by country and the difference in the incidence of COVID-19 by country and wave.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00368504231201548","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,25]],"date-time":"2023-10-25T03:07:57Z","timestamp":1698203277000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Economic costs related to coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic: A systematic literature review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"106","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0204-7174","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carla","family":"Bl\u00e1zquez-Fern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Econom\u00eda, Facultad de Ciencias Econ\u00f3micas y Empresariales, Universidad de Cantabria, Santander, Espa\u00f1a"},{"name":"Health Economics Research Group-Valdecilla Health Research Institute (IDIVAL), Santander, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paloma","family":"Lanza-Le\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Econom\u00eda, Facultad de Ciencias Econ\u00f3micas y Empresariales, Universidad de Cantabria, Santander, Espa\u00f1a"},{"name":"Health Economics Research Group-Valdecilla Health Research Institute (IDIVAL), Santander, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lidia","family":"Sanchez-Ruiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Economics Research Group-Valdecilla Health Research Institute (IDIVAL), Santander, Spain"},{"name":"Departamento de Administraci\u00f3n de Empresas, Facultad de Ciencias Econ\u00f3micas y Empresariales, Universidad de Cantabria, Santander, Espa\u00f1a"},{"name":"Santander Financial Institute \u2013 SANFI, Santander, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Cantarero-Prieto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Econom\u00eda, Facultad de Ciencias Econ\u00f3micas y Empresariales, Universidad de Cantabria, Santander, Espa\u00f1a"},{"name":"Health Economics Research Group-Valdecilla Health Research Institute (IDIVAL), Santander, Spain"},{"name":"Santander Financial Institute \u2013 SANFI, Santander, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00368504231201548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4018\/IJEPR.20210401.oa1"},{"key":"bibr2-00368504231201548","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.envres.2021.112314"},{"key":"bibr3-00368504231201548","unstructured":"WHO.
